    but yes, I am of the mind that $50-500 is worth every penny to have your combo dialed in correctly. I cut my teeth on carb'd cars, then moved to mechanical diesels... So I always dialed in my own combos. I'm now on to computerized diesels, but every one of them is custom tuned. It just seems a waste to spend a bunch of money on parts and not optimize them
    I certainly agree if there is low hanging fruit to be gained by the tune. Some peoples claims are probably not accurate. Where they say they slapped on a pair of gt40's and got 310hp at the flywheel. With no tune.

    But I'd also rather pay $50 than $500. Where is the $50 place? And wheres the $500 place. What would be the difference

      With that being said I loved my 95 much more then my previous fox bodies. I plan to pick up a white 95 cobra in the future. As mentioned with a competent tuner the t4mo ecm can work better then an a9l, a9p ect. My car always ran good even before a tune. Made 420 rwhp na on a stock ecm.
      Is that with you in it? That seems stupid heavy for an SN95 with weight reduction. Hell, that is approaching MN12 t-bird levels of weight

        Well i went and drove a 95 today. I do like the inside its a big change from the fox.


        The car seems ok but its a little aged. It has 189k on it lol


        But it runs and drives good and the carfax on it says that it has never had any claims. So never been wrecked thats a good thing. It does need a paint job but the car is cheap! Besides what 95 car isnt going to need a paint job. I drove it for a while, probably longer than i should have. It doesnt seem to leak anything. And seems to have most of its power for being that old. Doesnt seem gutless. The guy only wants $2100 for the car and has clear title

        What do you guys think? Deal or dud? Its high mileage but if I could save that kind of money I could afford to paint it, or skip paint for now and buy some heads/cam/intake and some suspension upgrades.

          What's the purpose for this car? Daily driver, race car, or weekend toy?

                I drove a bone stock 5.0 Vert that I did a 5 speed conversion on a few months ago. I forgot how damn slow they really are in stock form. Non PI 4.6's are even worse.

                    I have a 94 planning to put a cam in it...Just like the looks of 94-98.

                    Anyone here local that can tune these cars once a cam install? I guess it would be a bad idea.

                          Sean at truestreet tuned my 95 with a 347 in it. Car ran and drove great, made almost 450 rwhp and would knock down 23ish hwy. Ran better after he tuned it then it did with the previous hci 302 tuned by another shop years ago.
