Hey everyone
I did my PI swap a while ago and I'm starting to wonder if i NEED a tune. The car is a 96 GT with a FULL swap (reman engine with PI heads, intake, etc.)
The tune is pretty costly and I know I would get the added bonus of a tune on top of setting the engine to the compression that it should be at. For me in small town Saskatchewan, the nearest tuning place is 2 1/2 hours away, and when we calculated it out, it was ranging from $600-$1000.
Then again, would I just be able to go to a local wrecker and try and find a computer from a 99-04 GT and swap it? It has the ignition of the 96 (coil packs). Will that really matter for the new computer? I would rather go this route since it is a LOT cheaper...
