[QUOTE="srdigital, post: 16131661, member: 193457"] Howdy, Recently bought my first 2003 terminator. been piecing together the history of the car from previous owners and some internet sleuthing. Mildy moded (pulley, idlers, FIPK, home port on plenum, PPRV delete w/ KB disc, high-flow catted x, Afco H/E). Fuel pumps were near maxed on the last pull (100 octane/more timing) and a 91 octane 'safe' tune was ultimately provided. After the tune, a BAP was installed and nothing else modified since 2012. regularly maintained/serviced etc. about 25k miles since the tune. Would aging of the car alone, considering no mechanical changes/upgrades have taken place, warrant a complete retune? If so, what components or systems are likely to have changed significantly enough just from the sands of time, if any? I have no issues paying for a retune, but I need understanding of why, at least, it would be needed. I've had a career in classic mustangs, and so 'tuning' for me has always been a small flathead and tweaking jets. Having an ECU is a whole new game, and it's been fun learning, but I have a LOT to learn. thanks for the input! [/QUOTE]
