RE: Cam Tune
Satge 1 is fairly mild. I have an SCT tuner and I can do live datalogging with a laptop. This allows me to send the info to my tuner and he corrects the tune accordingly. This is as close to dyno as it gets (still not the same). I think you might have some lean issue's on the top end without a tune, but I would get some more insight on that. Check and see if your Diablo tuner does datalogging!

i talk to a guy work at a dyno shop and he said he will send email ti siablo and give them my mod list and they will send him back a new tune
and he said it will cost about 50$

I had the shop email them my mod list, then had them do some rearend work and install the tune. I Had to drive it for awhile before running it hard (on the dyno) and when I did get back, I found out I had been driving around on a 15:1 a/f ratio at WOT (went WOT a few times).
If you don't have a wideband, you NEED to get on a dyno with one and see what is going on. Even if you don't have a local shop that can tune mustangs, get on the dyno with the tune they sent you and check it out. Without a a/f ratio check you have no real idea what is going on.
Dynos are cheap... usually under 100 bucks if you just want a few pulls with a/f. Its worth 100 bucks to KNOW that your car is making the power it should be, and is safe.

This is exactly what I tried to do with diablo on a tune before my cam tune. I had full boltons and 3.73s, with a mail order generic tune. The generic diablo tune was too rich, the stock tune was acutally doing a a better job.
I had the shop email them my mod list, then had them do some rearend work and install the tune. I Had to drive it for awhile before running it hard (on the dyno) and when I did get back, I found out I had been driving around on a 15:1 a/f ratio at WOT (went WOT a few times).
