Brushing with the darkside Some info for people up here in New England. We are currently in the process of getting Ford tuning software with Dodge being next. The last year I've been seeing alot of Fords tuned up here.About 90% of them are sub par tunes which I know can be improved on for drivability and power.The software we will be ussing is close to the way EFI live works which makes for a better tune. For 97 and newer you DO NOT have to buy a handheld which helps keeping the tuning cost down.
Tell your Ford friends. Slowhawk Performance will be tuning Fords soon.

Smart move = Don Kinder Even though I bleed Bow-Tie blue: Watch for NHRA Indy Nationals results over Labor Day weekend. When people see how well the new Mustang Cobra Jet Drag Pak cars do in A/S, AA/S, and a couple of the Super Stock classes, believe me, many more people will be buying the performance model Fords..... They are FLYING at the track.

So that's why you wanted to know about the PC! 
You should be all set to get this done. Let's hope both programs play nice with each other! That shouldn't be an issue anyways.

I personally think it's an excellent idea. There's a VERY GOOD market for Ford and Dodge. I heard Cartek started building and tuning Dodge this past winter.

Smart move, no point in limiting yourself in the market. tons Of Mudstains out there.
Heck when they come in and ask you to make them a 12-11 second street car maybe you could tell them step 1 is to trade in the stang
Actually the S/C cobras are nice cars, and those Hellion kits are badass.
Cool about the dodge stuff too. I'm thinking about getting a Hemi Jeep within a couple years, you could tune that with the dodge software right?

I'm not sure you want your shop covered in black soot though

Yeah thats what I figured
Anyway you could just get some huge vent tubes to put over the exhaust and then just run it outside? to keep some of that crap outta the shop?
I'm sure theres a good amount of truck guys around these parts, just would make your customer base that much bigger, but I think even without trucks just openeing it up to fords alone will prob double your business or more once word gets out and you get as strong a rep with them as you have with us. I will throw up your info on nemotorsport, and newengland-motorsports.com they have some fast ford guys on there
