The best tune is always on a dyno, but I see you may not be near one. There are several sponsors that offer mail order tunes. I think TSP may do it.

I take it you would have to pay to rent it and tune yourself then?

You can try Speartech or Wait4meperformance, give them the spec of the car and engine. Once you get the PCM back, then you might try tweeking it on the Dyno that you have there. I used Jesse at Wait4meperformance for my mail tune to get started.

I guess the international shipping will take a bit longer for mail order tunes!

Or you can try one of the Laptop tuners (HPTuner or EFILive, you can then try down loading some of the tune files and try them out. Someone may have a simular tune file.

I dont know how car savvy you are but i would say with your situation your best bet would be to learn how to tune yourself.

Buy EFI Live or HPtuners (both great) have someone get you a starter tune for your car, so you can have somthing to flash to your computer then start learning how to do it yourself.

This way you'll be able to tune the car for any future mods and would be much cheaper in the long run.

I know WAIT4Me on this board sells efi live and would be glad to set you up with a starter tune, and would help you out with any beginner questions you may have.

Just my 2cents

how much does Wait4me sell EFILive for? Is it still the standard $750 or does he get a discount?

The best tune would be a combination of logging on the street at different loads, full throttle runs, and a Mustang dyno.
