Ya like I said I am basically stock (drop in K&N, Flowmaster super 40's) and that looked pretty familiar. Doesnt seem right...

I know what you mean about how it feels by seat-of-the-pants, but the only way to gauge performance gains is by track times. Get some gears. 3rd/4th gears pulls with steeper gears feels better than higher top speed stock gear pulls. Also, consider a mustang dyno next time if one's in your area, lower paper #s but a more true tune. Just my opinion, ofcourse.

Thats what i had it dynoed on. 293/303. It was recent too, and doesn't feel like its lost any power since the tune. It was like 100 freakin degrees too. Who knows, stupid mustang. lol

well that 100 degree temp would make a lot of a difference. air quality and air density at that temperature isnt all that great. do it on a 60 degree day.

100* weather+cobra R's+ wrong shifting points+windows down......i haven't been 140+ in a long time, but that seems about right for your mods. i'll be in smyrna tn on the 16-17th if you wanna come by or meet somewhere i can look everything over for you.

Thanks Rebel, but i was just in Murfreesboro not that long ago, and that is a long *** drive! Prob won't be able to make it out. But, if you happen to venture out around knoxville i'd be glad to hang out, cruise, drink some bruski's, etc,etc,etc.

if i've got some time one night...i'll head out your way!

Well, here's my take without even watching the video...

Videos always look slower than cars feel, always. Just ride out to your local drag strip one night and see what kind of times you can manage. Then post up some time slips and I'm sure somebody can help you figure it out.
