Before you order
What you need to tune your Ford Mustang GT 4.6 3V
An HP Tuners interface. We recommend the MPVI4. You do the reading and the flashing yourself, on your own car — our step-by-step guide covers buying and setting it up.
HP Tuners credits for the engine ECM. Reading, logging and editing are free; you only spend credits the first time you write a tune to the car. Check the exact number for your Ford Mustang GT 4.6 3V on HP Tuners' supported-vehicle list before you buy.
A laptop with VCM Suite. HP Tuners' software is a free download once you have an account.
Your stock file and a datalog. The stock file is what we tune and your backup; the datalog shows us what your engine is actually doing, which is what makes the first file right.
