Thumbs down 2003 mustang gt

i am trying to find out what is the best stuff i can do to my car i just got it with 69 a few mods and i am a gear head so just be straight forward with yalls opinions keep in mind that it is a DD and i just wanna have fun also. I only paid 6995 for the car with 60000 miles on it so it was a steal here are some mods done so far:
cold air intake not sure by who
373 rear end
x pipe no cats and magniflow exhaust

i am looking for the best programmer i can use on the car ive looked at the live wire and the predator just not sure which one id like better i want to get the most performance possible but also like to see what im doing which is the reason i looked at the live wire. any help would be nice future mods are gonna be short throw and kb supercharger the 2.1

The predator is a really good tuner. Plus you might get one with the SC kit, so I would check that. You might want to get underdrive pulleys, but other than that those are the basic bolt-ons.

If you're looking for a good tuner, then try Brenspeed, they will tune to your mods, and I think they get the best performance out of the tune.

www.brenspeed.com

They work with the SCT XCal 3 which is an excellent tuner, better than the Diablo IMO.

Not all tuners work with the KB kit, i know for a fact the SCT tuner can be tuned for it, which is what i would recommend.

dont do underdrive pulleys if you plan on going blown. they tend to not get along.
