That's because 03-04 Cobras are now pushing 16-17 years old and have issues. Also, the older they get, the more mechanical issues they have. Add the fact that most people "Think" they can wrench on a car, when they can't even change an air filter properly, only adds to the issues.

Then when you try to tune it, the car has issues.

Only cars that are 100% mechanically sound can be tuned properly. If not, you end up chasing your tail and the car never runs properly.

When you can tune 100 cars by "Copy/Paste" in the time it takes 1 old 03-04, the decision is really clear from a business standpoint.

best options is to keep looking - drive further if needed, otherwise you might have to dive into the aftermarket world of stand-a-lone ecu's.
as stated above, they take too long to tune, have too many problems and most tuners will not remote tune them either.

The stand alone depends on the mods. Even a ported eaton car doesn't need a stand alone. There are at least two tuners on here that will still tune these cars. And remote tunes aren't a bad thing.

There just being little girls and want to take what's easier it was never a problem before but now it is cause the new cars take less time but still charge the same even if they do it in 2 pulls.

I've heard good things about that shop. Crazy thing they also tune a lot of imports.

If I didn't get remote tunes from 04sleeper I would have considered them.

Lots of options for you, but you have to be picky as said many don’t know what they are doing

HPP been working on these cars since day 1
Gear heads performance Dallas was recommended to me by bob kurgan

But I would take 04sleeper up on that offer ;)
