Congrats on the order and welcome to the site! A tune is a great place to start, and often will be where you get the most value of horsepower for the money. there are a lot of Texans around these parts, and I rekon someone can help you find a good speed shop. There are also great companies that sell dyno tested and proven tunes through mail order like Breenspeed, American Muscle, Steeda, and so on...so research it out, take your time, and enjoy your new ride when it gets here!

I say drive it as is for a few months to make sure there are no warranty issues that arise. Then I would go with the intake and tune. So many tuners out there its hard to pick one. Oh and stated above thank-you for your service stay safe

Yes. Congratulations on your order. I got my 2008 Shelby GT through Military Overseas Car Sales and got $5700 under MSRP. It's a great deal. I was on a 15 month deployment in Iraq so I understand your emotions. This will give you something to look forward to. Stay safe and thanks for your service.
