I need help understanding this Programmer, I have a 2001 GT Bullitt 4.6L V8 (STOCK). Would there be benifits if I purchase and is it worth it? I have done some research on it on the web, I need actuall facts from you guys. What are the pros and cons? (I have not done any mods to the Pony...YET!)
I just need to know if it will work for a stock car? Thanks in advance!

I don't have a "Hypertech", but I bought one made by "superchips" and I love it. I have an '02 Gt, and I definitely feel an "in the seat difference" after installing it. After a while though, you start to feel like your car is slow, so I always return it back to stock settings for a few days, get used to that , then go back to performance tuning.

it'll help you some, but will be more effective after you've done a few performance mods, so i'd hold on to the money and use that for pulleys and an intake, gears or something of that sort.
Thanks guys for the quick response........I might go ahead and do the exhaust system from headers and cat back. Also cold air intake. Any reasonable online stores considering the price.Best bang for my buck, because prices in Toronto are insane.

try ebay before you pay retail, for headers look into MAC, BBK, Bassani... these places also make X and H pipes....and for cat back go with flowmasters or magnaflows.

yeah, definitely get some mods done first. I'd do exhaust, then maybe change your gear ratio, then i'd go for the programmer. That's similar to what I did, though it's hard to remember. But you WILL notice a slight difference....

I've never fully understood the full difference between Bullitt, & GT , except, the fuel door cap, and the minus of a spoiler/wing. Can someone shed some light on this? I've yet to have seen one of these.... Flaming pony37841.4022569444
I think the Bullitt, other than the St.St. accessories, it has some modifications to it such as throttle body increase, suspension handeling, bigger brakes, I think 275 hp, and 305 lb-ft of torque. I think I've heard that the tranny also is different (not %100 sure). Well all's I know is I'm happy with it, here's the actual pic when I went to the dealer. Hope it works...
It can correct the speedo after a gear change or for different tire height. It can raise the rev limiter by 500rpm,if your car is equipped with an auto trans then you can change the shift points either higher or lower and also change the firmness of the shifts. It also offers a preset power tuning option that will readjust the timing and or fuel curve. They claim 12hp & 19# of torque.
I've heard they're very limited and not really worth it unless you have an auto.

Yup, thats a bullit alright. Sweet ride. The bullits have a different intake and have more power then a GT. No spoiler, billit fuel door and bullet rims ofcourse. Only came in one color too. Green.

No it came in Blue and Black as well. A friend of mine ordered the black one. He is so obsessed with it that a rock chipped the paint and he had the entire car repainted. Ford only rated it at 265HP. The GT is 260. Too bad that's at the flywheel and not the rear wheels. You're probably only getting 225HP to the ground. Nice car though. Too bad it didn't come with fog lights.
