I am getting tired of repeating myself. Did you read my post??? We have dynoed these cars and they are the real deal. You can buy the reflash straight from Steeda ( send in your computer while installing the blower).

Neither Eaton nor Vortech will get you those numbers although they are both simpler to install and are great choices.

Micool once again you did not read my post. We have a Dyno and wide band A/F. I'm not bs-ing anyone. Go to Steeda website and type in "ecu program" then follow the link to the tech article -or- down load the catalog it is on page 33. Here is a copy and paste of some of it.
Quote from the website:
Over the past four years Ford's engine management systems have progressively become more efficient and complex. Previous tuning methods with computer chips fall short of the true potential of a supercharger system with Ford's new engine management systems. For over two years Steeda Autosports has worked with Ford Motor Company and Cosworth Technologies to develop the perfect Supercharger System for Ford Mustangs. Our system is designed to give the Mustang customer maximum horsepower, durability, with perfect drivability. We've put together some of the most commonly asked question about our Technology Transfer Program.
Q. How much Horsepower would I make with Steeda's System?
A. Our Technology transfer program has seen power numbers of 360rwhp to 420rwhp. Factory stock Mustang with no modification will make around 360rwhp. Mustangs with full exhaust and a Bullitt intake should make 420rwhp. Our Calibration averages 40-70hp more than a standard computer chip calibration.
Q. Can it be used with aftermarket exhaust and aftermarket gears?
A. Yes, you can use any cat-back kit on the market with our kit and any emissions legal X or H-pipe. Our calibration can be set for 3.27 3.55 or 3.73 rear gear ratios.
Q. Can I add performance parts after the computer flash?
A. Yes, our calibration can support up to 10psi of boost and can handle variances in airflow with such changes as a Ford Racing Bullitt intake or shorty headers. Our calibration can adapt to changes in the motor, unlike chips that must be re-flashed.
Q. Who can service my car if something isn't working right?
A. Any Ford Dealership can read all OBDII monitors and NGS codes from the computer. Any Ford Dealer can make small changes to the calibration, such as rear gear ratio, and minimal timing changes.
Q. Why should I use a Steeda's performance tuning instead of a performance chip?
A. Steeda's Calibration gives you 40-70hp more than performance chips. Performance chips are not C.A.R.B. certified and 50 state legal for supercharged calibrations. Most chips shut off all ODBII sensors and all emissions monitors. All computer chips inefficiently manage the changing conditions of a supercharged car and do not have the adaptive strategies of the stock computer. This is especially true for '99 and up computers.
Q. How are other companies tuning supercharged Mustangs? Why do they not have the ability to re-flash the computer?
A. Most are burning chips for oversized injectors and/or swapping computers that would have easier code to modify. Most of the companies do not have this technology because of Ford Motor Company's commitment to customer service, and their dedication to the integrity of the technology transfer program.

Q. Are Steeda's dual fuel pumps only to be used with Steeda's Calibration?
A. No, the pumps can be used for many applications. But if used with a computer chip, it is highly likely the chip will need to be re-programmed.
Q. My Vortech Kit comes with 38lb injectors. Wouldn't 30lb injectors be too small for 400rwhp?
A. No, with larger injectors such as 38lb or 42lb injectors, it becomes nearly impossible to pass C.A.R.B. certification. These larger injectors also cause drivability issues when the vehicle is not at wide-open throttle. Many chip calibrations call for the larger injector sizes to maintain safe air/fuel ratios at wide-open throttle while sacrificing drivability. Ford Computer calibrations are so complex that computer chip calibrations never gain 100% control over the fuel system. Steeda's computer calibration has full control over the entire fuel system for higher fuel efficiency and better engine management.
Q. Why Should I use Steeda's Technology Transfer system?
A. Steeda's kit and computer calibration are the only computer calibration certified and released by Ford Motor Company. This means that the quality of our calibration passes all strict OEM Ford requirements for drivability and emissions. What this means is you get maximum power, durability with perfect drivability.

I know pro-m and procharger both have these whamadyne rigs to intercept the fuel pressure signal for the computer. These act as an artificial fmu and with do nothing to help your fuel pump survive 100,000 miles.
I also use a Procharger but not on a 02-up. It just ain't safe, Yet.
