[QUOTE="Mustang4vSVT, post: 10577293, member: 37534"] Ive been looking everywhere to learn everything possible. I dont plan to get extensive in mods, just like knowing things for any reference (someday itll be out of warantee and itll all be my problem, lol) One thing im REALLY curious about is the power band and tuning. My 01 cobra gradually (but quickly) made power around 4k with a nice pull (obviously much slower than my GT). However, the 5.0 feels like it has NO guts under 3k and then suddently BAM instant balls.....i hate that. Is this tuning? or is it just the nature of the motor?? Reason i hate it is because driving around town causally every shift puts the next gear right in that space (under it) and i look like a n00b because it suddently speeds up more than i began (i hope you understand this shitty example lmao). No overall complaints about the car, just a 'feature' i dont really care for that makes me feel like im learning to drive again, lol. I know technology wise this thing is far more advanced than my cobra so I have some catching up to do. Really interested in what controls what, what can be changed in a tune, and what shouldnt be messed with. thanks fellas. Please disreguard my ignorance, gotta start somewhere....again :shrug: [/QUOTE]
