Kenric,
Sorry, I'm not stalking you, but now there are at least three people with the GTs' steering wheel as their pic. How can we keep you guys straight?
Now our founding father (please don't send me to hyper space for sayng this); as our moderator, the steering wheel is apropriate as you started this whole great site and 'you're at the wheel'(helm). So please keep it.
But the Ford GT steering wheel has got to be the ugliest part of the car. Other than holding a life saving device, it's just plain butt ugly.
(edited much later) OK to set the record straight I like the steering wheel it's real cool because it's so small, but the air bag holder in the middle is butt ugly, period, sorry!
I'll be waiting for a great shot of a black GT. I've got tons, PM me an I'll email you one.

Careful !
Again, let me make a case for careful use of any stock off the shelf tunes. Quick to ruin your car, and cheap destruction too, for 399$. Potentially....
Better gop to a great reputed shop, and do a custom tune, that doesn't blow up your engine down the road....
Question however remains what program parameters you have on the program that you loaded from there.. The device alone doesn't do nothing....Black GT said:

Yeah, I've got one.
I would NEVER use a canned tuned on a $150k car. Take it to someone who really knows what they are doing and have it tuned correctly on the dyno. It will be money well spent and it's not really that expensive.
To get your car tuned through us, you are only looking at $600-$725 AND you get an SCT Xcalibrator 2 when you leave. Money well spent.

If all the cars were the same (stock) they should be fairly close on the tune. The question is, are you willing to pay the extra few hundred buck for me to get it on a dyno and verify that the tune is perfect or are you willing take a chance? It's really a matter of having the peace of mind that everything is ok. In this case, both for the owner and myself as a tuner. The last think I want to happen is for me to send out a tuner to a guy and tell him it will be fine and then for him to call me back and say his brand new Ford GT blew up.
FYI, if anyone is serious about setting up a dyno day for me to fly out to, I'm more than willing to do it. It doesn't have to be all GTs. I can tune any Ford.
The price would be dependent on the number of cars we do. The number of cars we can get finished in a day depends on the level of modifications.

Black GT,
You're from very close to 'white sands', one of the most beautiful places on earth. Great place for black cars to be photographed (but don't take yours there) that stuff is nasty on dark paint.
Still WS is one of my favorite places
A too lean blown motor can BLOW UP!
