Default auto mustang need help

I raced a 95' 5.0 (5 speed) from a dead stop and he pulled like 2 cars ahead until my car shifted to 3rd then I past him kinda fast. Then we went again from a 30 mile roll and he inmediately jumps 2 cars ahead [:@]until I hit like 80 I started to pass him again. It seems like my car takes forever to downshift and go. I have 4.10 gears and I haven't installed a tuner yet, will that help? I was actually waiting for my tuner until I had my prochamber because I don't want to reprogram the tuner everytime.I wanted to do all my mods first than add tuner. I'm Undecided if I want to get a shift kit firstor a tuner I know I need bothbut I can only do 1 at a time and eventually install a torque converter. Please help I need something to help my car act faster from a roll.

you can mess stuff up if u drive for a long time and floor the car after u put gears in and dont get it tuned...the computer and trans thinks it has 3.27 gears in it so it shifts at the points according to that gear ration, u NEED to get a tuner or get it tuned ASAP, i bought my o/r x and exhauts and got gears, then in the next few days i got the car tuned, its a totally diff car....get it tuned(tuner)

i have stock gears but at 30 my car will take forever to do anything because it will just draw second out...from 28 though it will downshift to first and make my opponent cry (sometimes lol)

Did you get a dyno tune or just a tuner? This coming weekend I'm installing my pro chamber and hopefully I'm buying a tuner too.
