I'd goto coastal and get a diablo chip (i think that's what they have there) and have them dyno tune it for you.

its a little more expensive but well worth it and you will deffinatly get a better power gain from a custom tuned diablo and if not a custom tune you have the capabilities of upgrading at a later time. superchips you have a basic program that "tunes up" your motor, but if you get a different car that can use the say chip then you have to mail it back to superchips and it costs like another $100 and wait for a couple weeks to get it back and have your car running good again. but a diablo you can take back to sam and he will re-burn it for you on the spot so there is minimal down time for your stang.

Actually, Superchips has their new chip/software out now that allows us to tune cars on the dyno without dealing with their techs. No reason to send the chip back to them anymore. Now you can make adjustments to your chip as you make upgrades to your car.
