CHICAGO (AP) - Couch potatoes everywhere can pause and thank Eugene Polley for hours of feet-up channel surfing. His invention, the first wireless TV remote, began as a luxury, but with the introduction of hundreds of channels and viewing technologies it has become a necessity.
Just ask anyone who's lost a remote.
Polley died of natural causes Sunday at a suburban Chicago hospital, said Zenith Electronics spokesman John Taylor. The former Zenith engineer was 96.
In 1955, if you wanted to switch TV channels from "Arthur Godfrey" to "Father Knows Best," you got up from your chair, walked across the room and turned a knob. Clunk. Clunk. Clunk.
Or you could buy a new Zenith television with Flash-Matic tuning. The TV came with a green ray gun-shaped contraption with a red trigger. The advertising promised "TV miracles." The "flash tuner" was "Absolutely harmless to humans!" Most intriguing of all: "You can even shut off annoying commercials while the picture remains on the screen."

What is the best performance programmer to buy for a 2003 Mustang GT(manual)?
Nov 28, 2008 by Kyle | Posted in Ford
Ive heard of the SCT Livewire, Sniper Forces, SCT Flash tuner, and Diablo Predator flash tuner. Which of these is the best one?
So far i have stainless bassani exhaust all the way through, bassani ceramic headers, catted x-pipe, and catback. I also have a JLT true-cold air intake. Planning on getting a bigger throttle body and new upper plenum. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
i used the predator on my last car (01 gt) same mods as you (including bassani exhaust), except bigger rear end gears, and with my proshop guy we used it to custom tune my existing car.
the guys at this performance forum (http://www.svtperformance.com/) generally prefer the sct tuner
....conclusion think they are both fine.
yes you need a bigger throttle body...73 minimum, if you are going further 75mm.
agree you need higher gears, i ran 373's , prefer that for overall driving, but lot of guys like the 410's especially if its all city and
get-go stuff.
the other modifications i had done to my 01 gt:
-lowered on eibachs
-short throw shift
-front & rear antisways
-full length steeda chassis sub-connectors
-underdrive pulleys
you might want to tune into 1 or both of these forums from time to time to discuss modifications.....tech help

so basically where you will come down to (perhaps)whether or not to bolt on a kenne bell or a whipple twin screw....mid boost & run her up to about
385 - 400 rwhp (that's about the limit for your engine without enhancing the internals).
i got to that point.... with my 01gt...decided to get a cobra
ive had experience with Diablosport. loved it, had it in my 03 mustang GT, but be prepared to see a HUGE dip in your fuel consumption. when I tuned mine i went from 16-17mpg to less than 10, get a 4.10 gear ratio..best thing i ever did to that car
