I do not think the 99-04 computer will work on your car (And Im saying "I" do not think it will ) I would get a tuner and play with it some. Just the can tune should help you out. It made a differance on mine. Good luck...

My car has a entirely new long block, all stock parts.mustangandy, im doing the heads, intake, cams, what else is there? im keeping the stock bottom end if thats what you mean.
Just get a dyno tune, the computer we have was made for our cars, im not saying you cant use the other one but youd be better off getting a dyno tune, youll appreciate you did. And as for JOHNR, hi-tech stage 2 cams on a 98 with a p.i. swap your going to have to fly cut those pistons if you didnt already know.
zukman not to disagree with you, but when I called SCT, they told me no canned tune would get me the power I should be putting out. He said no basic tune on any programmer (diablosport, SCT xcalibrators, etc) is capable of changing the compression by that much, if at all.
And coopdog, are you doin a full PI swap or just the heads and intake?
Any more replies or knowledge on this topic would be greatly appreciated!!
I know what you're saying,and i agree. I am just wondering if I can save some money and get a 99-04 ECU to bump up the compression to what it should be?I do agree that a canned tune will not get the full potential that a dyno pull and a custom tune will do, but If you are running a stock ECU with no change at all a canned tune will pick up your performance. If you want the best you can get you will have to take it to a tuner and get a custom one made...
Good luck and let us know what you do and the power increase...
