Yes. I know I am. From the brief hand-off this morning, I can tell that Mike has a very professional shop. Very friendly peope as well. Any car dealership/garage could learn something about initial service/impressions from Mike's shop.

You're going to be even happier when you get the car back....its up a solid 10-12 rwhp and rwtq over stock already.

Our tuner is very impressed with the way it pulls to the moon....

That's excellent news! Seems like your tuners really know their stuff. I'm impressed already. I'm certain others are waiting to hear the good news about the capabilities of the new 3.7 L.

konastang11, do you have the 2.73 rear or the 3.31? I have the 3.31, was wondering if that matters when they do the tunes. My car is also a 3.7 automatic riding on the base 17s.

Also, I was thinking about holding out for a tune that will be packaged with a CAI, was wondering how far down the road that is.

Mike,

If you can tell us, what will the speed limiter be raised to?

I have a 2011 MCA edition with 18" rims, 3.31 gears, and manual transmision.

I don't think a car like this should be limited to 112mph. (where mine seems to top out).

I can't speak for others but my main reason for wanting a tune is to open the top speed up.

Thanks.

Raised to?

How about the moon?

We'll let you turn it off, or at least raise it to where you couldn't get there without driving off a cliff!!

I’ve been driving my DiabloSport tuned 3.7 for a few days now. The new tuning is really working out well. My Mustang seems like a different car. The way the speed builds is far better than stock. The true power of the engine feels like it's be "released". My merge onto the freeway near Mike’s shop was fantastic. The Stang just flew from 30 to 85, and didn’t stop pulling.

The auto trans certainly less Lexus-like. The stock shifting was rather bland and seamless. I had a 1992 SC400 that shifted much like the Mustang did stock. The Mustang now seems on the verge of chirping the tires from 1st to 2nd.

On my way to work today I pulled alongside a 2010 GT. I asked him to a friendly race - shouted that I wanted to check the tune. Now, I don’t know if he missed a shift, or I’m just a better driver, but he only saw the back of my car after the light changed.

If you have a manual 3.7 and live in the S. Florida area, contact Mike at DiabloSport. He has a deal for you…
