Tuner for a 2000 Taurus?

Anyone know if there is a tuner available for a 2000 Taurus with the 3.0 Duratec? Or of any other products besides K&N airfilters? Like exhaust upgrades, headers? I'd like to really find a tuner.

Tuner for a 2000 Taurus?

I've been looking at Diablo's Delta Chip. If I don't like the setting, I can put it back to a stock tune with a flip of a switch. I contacted them via email. I'm curious to know what the old V6 can do. 200 ponies already, I wonder if a different exhaust setup will help? I just like driving this car, if I could get another 20 ponies...that would be sweet.

is this the DOHC motor?
we put in a K&N replacement filter, radiused the inlet in the air box, and modifyed the inlet pipe by hacking off the small end and taking out the silencer...car was an 01 or 02...I forget... the guy said it made quite a bit of a difference

as for exhaust.....to keep it fairly quiet, maybe just a dynomax super turbo muffler? or maybe get some exhaust shop to play around with the "y-pipe" a little bit since they are bent a little funny from the factory

DOHC, you betcha...not sure I'd even mess with a good ole Vulcan motor. Just thought this motor has some more potential and I wanted to mess around with it.
