If you're pinging it seems like they have your timing set a too high. Did you data log any runs? My girlfriend's brother had some issues with his bama tunes on his 08. Mine were spot on for my car when it just had normal bolt ons. I'm not sure if its just something with the bama tunes and the newer ones or not. His ran like crap (a lot of hesitation)...seemed way off.

Something doesn't sound right there. Was it pinging before you brought it to the dyno? Can you hook me up with a dyno graph? Also - if the car is running rich, it would mask detonation, so if the timing was a little on the high side, you'd never hear it. Honestly, I've run a dyno shop before - dyno shops want to sell dyno tunes. They'll tell customers anything to get you to ditch your current tune.
Shoot me over a dyno graph, let me take a look at your tune files and verify that all of the mods are correctly submitted on your end, and that the tune was written correctly on our end to rule out human error. We do literally hundreds of 3V's with Hot Rod cams each month and never have any problems - we get back dyno graphs and datalogs all the time showing that they're spot on.
I want to get it straightened away for you, so I'm going to need you to be open to the fact that your tune might not be as bad as you were told. I'll even work with you to datalog it, and make sure it's perfect. It'll be as good as any custom dyno tune.
Also, Mustang dynos read lower than an inertia dyno will (like a Dynojet, for example) - so 279RWHP, while it is very low for your mods, it's only "kind of" low, once you factor in what it would have ran on a different dyno.
We'll get you squared away. Don't waste your money on a dyno tune - your setup is simple. Actually, you're only in New York - I'd be open to it if you want to come down here and throw it on our dyno. We can run it as-is, and see exactly whether or not it was far off. You'll get a free dyno-verification out of it, and I'll throw in some AM swag.

Another reason to shop @ American Muscle. Love these guys!
Hey Autos221, might want to get your tranny looked at. Another member here, BlackSmoke, had his perfectly good 5 speed basically destroy itself after a few hard dyno sessions and he had just the exact same mods you have. A few $k later the solution was a brand new tranny. You should PM him for the details.
