Absolutely!

I can not say for sure that the car is quicker to a certain speed (although I suspect it's a 1 tenth or two quicker to 60, just a guess) but it feels so much quicker. The throttle response is immediate, with the race tune it's almost touchy and takes just a bit of getting used to. You won't realize their was any lag until it's gone (with the tune).

Of course, you get three tunes (your choice) with the programmer (mine is the SCT X3). I got the "perforrmance", "torque" and "race" tunes. The race tune is noticeably stronger on the low end than the others and all of them are better than stock.

Bama was a bit slower than I expected (it took about 3 weeks to get it) but I suspect that's because I was one of the first. They were good about answering emails.

I'm kind of puzzled as to why my car is "draggy" in 3rd gear. Seems like it just doesn't have the snap like other cars have. For instance, usually when cruising around 30 mph or so and you stomp on it, it just doesn't jump up and run, just kind of takes its time getting up to speed. It DOES get faster, but just not what I thought it would do.

Very confusing. I would think that 315 advertised hp would have a little more "oomph" than this!

Any suggestions?

Downshift? Seriously, you aren't flooring it in 3rd at 30 mph, right?

hey guys, I have a a brenspeed tune and have tried all the tunes, because Im just having to much fun racking up the miles on her. WOW is all I can say the car is fun out of the box but once the tuner is loaded up FUN FUN FUN! I have it on the 93 tune and it will put you back in the seat. Brenspeed has been really easy and good to work with so far. I have an Auto and she will chirp tires through 3rd gear! Def worth the money!

So does a tune void your warranty?
Are you able to save your factory settings and put them back to "Stock" at any time?
What happens of your tuner "crashes", are your factory settings then gone or can you back them up on a computer?
What is the best tuner for the money?

Sure, why not? (besides, I did say "around 30") Going a little too fast for a good 2nd gear acceleration, too short, and too low for 4th obviously. If I'm trucking along behind a slowpoke at 30 and can pass, why shouldn't I be able to romp on it and go?

Not necessarily "flooring it", but giving it a high degree of pedal, how about that?

You'll find the aftermarket has also changed since '78 Superchips is no longer a leader (at least for mustangs) in the aftermarket performance arena. You'll find for most newer domestic performance cars, SCT and Diablo are two of the more popular tuners.

And yes, they are worth every penny when used with a CAI (Cold air intake) The average CAI + Tune on 91/93 octane will increase your HP by 10-15 RWHP, That's REAR WHEEL HP and your tq by 5-10 RWTQ yes, that's at the REAR WHEELS. That's for the 05-09

I don't know if the 2010 will see a big gain by adding an aftermarket CAI since they already have a factory one so you need to E-mail Brenspeed or Bamachips for that info. They will also give you a realistic expectation for additional TQ/HP numbers.

For the automatic mustangs, the tuners are a savior. THe factory programming on the 05-09 is very sluggish and is defintely tuned for MPG vs performace/spirited driving. Worth every penny for a DD.

30mph in 3rd??? There's your problem. You should be in second at that speed or downshift before you gun it.

I don't think ANY car would be snappy in 3rd at 30mph too high of a gear for such a low speed.

Umm..2nd winds out around 60mph...how is 30mph in second "a little too fast for a good 2nd gear acceleration"?
