How much HP gain?

scottman70 · 09-26-2009

I have an 05 GT with Flowmaster axle backs and a K&N CAI. If I buy an SCT and install a custom 91 octane tune how much HP and Torque is that going to add? All I can get in Phoenix is 91 octane.....

Thanks for any feedback!!

I dont know how much HP exactly but i know i had the axleback intake combo then added the tuner and tune and the difference was definatly noticable. The throttle response was a lot better and it seemed faster. Definatly worth it in my opinion.

A better tune by itself can add 10.

I would get a tuner. You may only see 10 or so more hp, but a good tune can give you much better throttle response and if you plan on doing more mods in the future you will need a tuner for a lot of them.

Thanks guys! So then I guess my next question would be:
Where is the best place to purchase an SCT with custom tunes?

BAMA....I just added kooks lts,catted H, c&l intake,sct with 93 race tune to my mac boomtubes and 410's and it is like driving a different car.Well worth the money spent IMO.I will be putting her on a dyno in november,so we will see the numbers then but whos to say I wont add anything else by then.

You can't go wrong with Brenspeed, Bamachips, or Tillman. AKA "the big 3"

get the tuner, but upgrade to a CAI where you'll def benefit! like a C&L or a JLT. a tuner with a K&N intake wont give you much, nothing compared to a C&L or a JLT

The sound alone is worth 15 theoretical horse power. About the same amount of power you get from the stock "hood scoops" on Mustangs.
