A “mail order” or emailed tune can unlock the full potential of your Mustang or SVT Lightning by making appropriate changes for cold air intakes, larger mass air meters, off-road exhaust systems or rear end gears. These custom tunes are perfect for the simple bolt-on type of vehicle. You can also use your SCT Tuner to upload custom dyno calibrated tunes at your local tuning facility. These are great for forced induction and power adders such as nitrous oxide.
