If I was going to do this, it would be the JLT/diablo package from one of the supporting tuner companies. They should be able to get me a 93 octane tune and have another tune on the tuner for when I add the 2.6" pulley. Ford wont.

Enjoy your new found power. The only problem is you have just taken a bite of the forbidden Mod apple and you will soon become addicted!

I got 495rwhp on a DynoJet with the FRRP HP kit. I thought that was pretty good for a warrantied car/tune out of the box.
