I do not believe so, not via settings the handheld unit provides. You will need to get a custom tune from BAMA or the like...

I have a SCT X3 tuner. It came with the car when I bought it. Im not sure if it has the life time tunes like they offer now. Thanks for all the info! Can't wait to get the parts to install them!

I take it back Ihave a SCT SF3 tuner. It does say in the details about the handheld that it can fix: Axle Ratio, Allow you to set the axle ratio (gear ratio) to correct shift patterns and the speedometer on your vehicle. I went thru all the options and could'nt find anything to adjust. steeda does have an 8-tooth gear to use.

I've got poly engine mounts in my daily driver 2000 gt with a stock tranny mount. I loveee the poly motor mounts. Nvh is up, but its not as bad as everyone makes it out to be. shifts are solid, throttle response is great, no excessive movement. The secret is that you need some rubber. Stock tranny mount keeps the vibration down to a livable level yet allows the performance of the poly mounts.

Some people have a very low NVH tolerance and really want to have a "luxury" sports car--which the New-Edge and earlier Mustangs are NOT. They will complain about things like the MGW shifter.

OTH I like being "connected with the machine" and have been know more than once to embrace and come to love "NVH" that others would find completely unacceptable...
