Default Brenspeed tune = falling in love again

I installed my Granatelli CAI and Borla Touring axle backs at the same time and it's like a new car.

Shifts with my auto were SO much faster. That's the biggest difference. But the whole thing is just ALIVE now.

This probably isn't going to help my power addiction.

I wasn't gonna do cams but now...

I have to. Detroit Rockers, here I come.

probably sounds great now, good mods. And detroit rockers are probably my favorite cams out of all (cms is great as well). Sounds amazing with good performance. keep us posted!

An aftermarket tune on the 4.6's is such a huge improvement in drivability. Even on a manual it makes rev matching easier, smoother. The bump in power is quite noticeable.

When I first got a Mustang, I actively just drove it for the hell of it. Since then I just enjoyed it in my daily commute and errands.

Now I'm about to leave and go driving around again. It sounds wonderful. The exhaust is just what I wanted. Head turner on the gas and a nice subtle rumble at idle or cruise. Might have to get the catback at some point.

You're gonna love the Detroit Rockers! I'm very pleased with how my car runs and sounds. Driveability is perfect, and the upper end power is definitely stronger. Lost nothing on bottom end, gained a bit if nothing else.

Congrats!
Brenspeed custom tunes really wake up the 4.0's as well.
Enjoy your new car. ;-)

I keep hearing all this talk about tuners and how awesome they are. I'm wondering if buying a tuner should be my first mod lol...

The difference in throttle response alone is worth the cost. The extra power is just a bonus.

Oh man, I was skeptical too. But I totally believe it now. VERY worth it. I love the polished aluminum look of the Granatelli under the hood with my Boss shock tower brace. If you want to be cost effective though, go ahead and buy a tuner/CAI package. Feels like a new car.

Also, I've already asked for some tweaks to my tunes and Brent and the rest from Brenspeed have been nothing but informative and helpful. Great service.
