    I was planning on purchasing a tuned PCM or sending mine to be tuned. A little while back I'd passed a Mustang GT who "claimed" he was doing 138mph when I passed him. ( I did not know the guy, so who knows if he's embellishing.) I know our speed limiter is set to 130. So I guess my question is: Is there a way to tell if its tuned already without connecting a programmer? Also, I have an AeroForce Interceptor scan gauge on the way, would this let me know?

    I dont know, thats what Im trying to find out. The only visible thing I can see is the DP and missing ubend and resonator. ( like I said, who knows if that Stanger was full of chit)

    Appreciate it guys...Ive been wondering because I've driven other GTPs and mine just feels faster. Wheels squeel if I punch it @ 35 mph.

    Then when you crash,

    you die.

    Sound like fun?

    I think so.

    Find out at what speed/time you need a cage at the strip.

    Better yet, consider at 110 MPH you'd move 104 feet before you could even get on the brake.

    go out to western canada.

    Drive for hours and still think the next town is "just up ahead".

    Doesnt justify the speed.
