Hey Guys, don't mean to sound ignit, but is it REALLY worth investigating some electonic upgrades to the SVT computer system...not sure what it's called, like getting a chip, having it flashed, changing the programming....all that techy stuff....do you really notice a difference with a stock SVT, or do you need to upgrade a whole bunch of stuff to go along with it.
Just curious if it's a waste for a stocker.

To be honest...from what I've heard it is worth it..and any extra mods you may have make it even better and customizable...
I'm not an expert but, I've talked to a number of happy people that got this type of stuff, even for their stockers
The SVT has questionable factory ECU programming as it is. A lot of guys, on here and on other sites, have realized that a SCT custom tune makes all the difference in the world.
I remember when redsvtfocus got his SCT, he told me it was like night and day.....
If your going to do one mod to your SVT this is it, I have not yet done mine, but it's the next on my list. You can't get a chip, it has to be reflashed as the SVT processor does not have a port to accomadate a chip. Do some reading
HERE. Many have posted their opinion that this is the single best mod for this car.
the best thing I did on the SVT...(thanx Kev)..it felt so good at low rpms...when the needle reached the 3k it was really awesome..get it without a doubt..also I had the Brullen exhaust..(Kev again), the Demon coil and wires,the short ram intake,the short shifter,engine mounts....hawk brake pads(awesome)..all the things together made a big change on the car..
one thing you should change...the exhaust.....!
good luck
