RE: DELAY??
Welcome to throttle lag caused by drive by wire. Tuner will virtually elimate it, not really anything else you can do. Theres a computer reaclibration technique but its pretty much pointless because youll always have quite a bit of lag from the stock tune.

Give Doug a call and he will walk you through the ins and outs of a Cold Air Intake and a tuner. This is by far the greatest gadget for the V6 Mustang ever invented.

RE: DELAY??
need more input!
Are you manual or automatic?
Is that from standing still or are you moving.
With the auto, I've never seen any real lag from a stop. The real lag can come when I'm at speed and floor it to pass or merge onto the freeway. My workaround has been to keep the auto in O/D Off (4th gear max) when I think I might need to pass quickly. Especially needed here off the 405 where the 2 slow lanes are going stop and go or maybe 25 mph while the people in the 2 fast lanes are flying by at up to 80mph!
Tuners might help that so they probably should come with these cars.

RE: DELAY??
I have a manual stock tune GT and it does what you describe from virtually a standstill. If I start out rolling in first gear, lets say 1000-1500 RPMs, and stomp on it, I get nothing for 1 second of so, and then the thing goes insane. Same thing happens if I want to get going quickly from a dead stop; it will bog down, start moving slowly, and then if I let it I can squeal the tires no problem. Stupid computer!

RE: DELAY??
Yup, I got a tuner and had to bring the car to the dealer...flashed back to stock...what a difference! There was that stupid delay again trying to pass on the highway, and the nice little sputter (I guess you could call it that) between gears when I shifted...CAI and tuner, or even a tuner alone, will make all the difference in the world.
