What kind of tuner do you have as well as mods to the car?

I'd contact the tech guyz at either AM or Brenspeed. They can explain what steps you'll need to do to load new tunes but from what you say, I assume you're already running a canned or custom tune. If so, you'll need their tech support.

It's an SCT, I finally got it figured out. I did a bunch of research and loaded 3 new tunes from BAMA from AM. 89 octane, 91, and 93. I loaded the 93 with a 4.00 axle ratio and hell what a difference it made. I never knew you'd be able to tell there was such a drastic change with a few simple mods...

I should say so!! I watched your video on your other post. Awesome. People who do not drive a Mustang have no clue what they are missing out on. THAT is what it is all about!!!

It's funny that there are so many people out there that talk **** about people who drive mustangs. We're just like any other car enthusiasts out there, we just have a much bigger following i sense some jealousy. I'll post another video with the new tune. That last one was without the tune. So i should be expecting around 345 HP eh?

What mods do you have now? Also what gears are you running? I have a Steeda Pro CAI w/ Bama tunes. The numbers on AM's website say 20-25 RWHP and 25 RWT. Adding 15% back to it to get to some crankshaft numbers gets you to 345ish HP and 365ish torque. I cannot swear to it and I am not sure of the exact numbers, but I was told it was actually a little more than that by AM. I think it was 350 (?) HP and 375(?) torque. I may be making all of this up in my head though.

Well we just got a new dyno so I'm going to go test it and get the exact numbers on my next day off.

I have JLT CAI, bassani exaust, x-pipes and SCT tuner with BAMA tunes running the 93 octane race tune with 4.10 AGR. But i'll be changing that my gas mileage went to hell.
