RE: what tunes are people using
have you bought your tuner and cai yet?alot of talk about the predator and c&l kit, but i have had no problems that i didnt create myself. i would suggest this set-up. i think its a good starting point. btw, you did say you were coming from sc right? thats why i told you about randy haywood. i am from sc, stationed here in nc. good luck.

I am new to the board but my friend and I have a shop in Oklahoma and have done lots with Mustang but we just purchased a 05 Mustang which seems to be a lot different than any Mustang. We have been playing with the car on the dyno and bone stock it made 270hp & 288TQ on a dynojet. We purchased a predator for the car and put it back on the dyno and data logged the run and the stock timing past 4000rpm stayed at about 23 to 24. A/F was about 12.8 through the entire run. We installed the 93 octane tune and and made another pull making sure the car temp was the same and the intake air temp was the same and logged the data again and saw 31 to 32 on the the timing and the A/F was about 13.0 and the Mustang lost 6hp and less TQ. I uninstalled the tune and installed the 91 octane tune which showed 28-29 degrees of timing and A/F was 12.8 and the car made 275hp and 292TQ. We picked up about 5hp and TQ but that was all we have gained. We made a few more pulls and the last pull the timing stayed the same but we lost a lot of power to the tune of 266hp. We ran out of time that day to make more adjustments but as of right know we are not very impressed with the tunes and the Mustang seems to have a mind of its own. I am going to contact Diablo and see if they have any suggestions. Has anyone else done some dyno tuning and have any numbers on the dyno? Tonight we put the car back to the stock tune and made a pull which was 270hp to the rear tire and then installed a Maganflow Cat-back system and only went to 273.58hp. Not much of a gain for the money. It is a little frustrating but we also installed a ZEX nitrous kit and made a pull with tha 100hp jets but the bottle pressure was only at about 750 and the Mustang made 350hp and 403TQ. It feels awesome on the juice. Does anyone offer a colder plug yet? Sorry for the long post but look forward to any suggestions.
