I'm sure you can but I personally don't know anyone that tune SD mustangs. You might get some tips from the bowtie people, IIRC the Tune Port 350 and some of the pre LS1 cars are SD.

IMO, you'll save your self some headaches, if ya just do the mass air conversion, then down the road, if needed, get ya an SCT or similar chip.

If you install a c/h/i get a tune for it.....You wont regret it.....some dont realize that your big FI systems like Fast/Big Stuff/AEM are all SD systems......-vs- mass air your car should run better and maybe even lay down more power,given that it is tuned properly:thumbsup1:

What intake??? IMO it would be a waste of time unless you done a full port on the lower

just my stock intake i could get it done really cheap and ive heard of sd cams just didnt know which ones were which and figured it would be as good as just going mass air or with a tune

a must with h/c/i swap.....plan on bigger injectors too.......unfortunantly a f/p regulator only puts you in the "ballpark" still need a chip to fine tune it

With a M/A car you can get away with just a F/P regulator and the computer will do the rest,up to a certain point....However on a S/D car the computer wont compensate,instead it trys to go back to its factory settings,and trim the injectors down,this is where the chip comes in,as far as regulators goes,there are several good ones out there,i have always run a aermotive,but any will work

Hey, I've got a complete mass air conversion with computer cheap if you might be interested. Also, There is a guy in Jacksonville, Fl. named Tony Gonyon. If anyone can tune the SD setup, he can.
