save your money. someone here said that tune doesn't change the throttle lag.
Thinking that "someone" isn't talking from any kind of experience...That or he has a real crappy tuner.

Honestly, theres alot of people in here that have already said we have tuners and that our throttle lag is gone, dont try to discredit us by stating that "someone" said it doesnt. "Someone" doesnt know what hes talking about and shouldnt give advice, neither should you.

Sorry, my mistake. I did mean 5 speed not six speed. So many cars have a six speed today I just slipped.

A so-called "tune" will help. But the real problem is that the motor that Ford uses to open and close the throttle plates has an inherent slow response time. They should look towards the Toyotas that have used the "fly by wire" throttles for years, and have finally solved this problem by using a good and fast throttle plate motor.

True...agree with you 100%. However, the fact is that we have our cars and they do have throttle lag and the so-called "tunes" does away with the lag.

Brenspeed fixed me up too. Now the car is almost too jumpy in first gear even after 3 months of driving it with the tune. I am almost considering calling him up to back off the response curve 10% to soften it a bit. He told me he has had a few guys with 4.10's requesting it, and can do it for all cars.

yeah, even with the 3.55s...it's like learning to drive it all over again with the new brenspeed tune and CAI in it!

My Stingers came in yesterday and the tracking info on my CAI/tuner is showing it here this morning...a day early!!! I'm gonna have to add to AmericanMuscle's review of the new hardware I'm sure.

Yippee!

Nope, the S197's throttle lag is programmed into its stock tune.
