Simple tune 15 plus horsepower?
The local Mustang shop said they could get me an additional 15 horsepower on my '07 GT with a quick computer tune, which also frees up the throttle lag. Has anyone had this done and did you notice any difference in power or throttle?

i'd do exhaust and a cai before you do the tune, possibly headers too
if you are planning on doing a cai or axleback in the future, i would do those first then get the tune. otherwise, the tune will be set up for a stock mustang if you do it first. it will probably squeeze a few more hp out of it if you do the cai and axlebacks before the tune

You will not gain any HP with axle backs some can account for 1-2hp but I think Ford did a good job on the stock exhaust. Buy exhaust for the sound you are looking for not HP.
for 15hp K&N Aircharger or Air Raid will give you around 12-15hp without a tune also the GMS has a MAF sensor replacment in theirs, and italso does not require a tune. some weight reduction wouldhelp in the RWHP,like Drive Shaft.most of these would keep your Dealer at bay when service is performed.
Edit..
I just found a link that C&L makes a "NO TUNE" Insert for the intake. This might be a way to go so when you are ready for a tune you just remove the insert -- COOL--

Reducing throttle lag won't give you extra HP, either!
I don't know if just a basic tune would give you 15HP... maybe the 93 Octane tune?
If you get the full CAI + a tune you should get more than 15
