How long until *other tunes?

A simple plug and play tune for 400* bucks. For example, you look up a mustang tune set up and theres millions. Lol alot in the 200-500 range.

If you buy just the tune, the FA20 club or Visconti are both under $400. The extra cost is the software license and cable which allows you to datalog and flash the ECU anytime you want.

As per Wikipedia these are the sales of mustangs. Needless to say in the 2005 model year they sold more cars in the US alone than this car will sell in the US in its entire life cycle.

Yearly American sales

Year Sales
2005 160,975
2006 166,530
2007 134,626
2008 91,251
2009 66,623
2010 73,716
2011 70,438

Looking at other imports i dont expect tunes to get too much cheaper especially with cobb not even trying the market.

Find somebody local to borrow a cable and you should be able to get tuned for 500.

If you have a local tuner who has the cables, and licensing then yes.

You *can* mail your ECU to FA20club to have them flash it as well, just means you're without your car being useful for a bit.
