lol just read that. Decision finalized

because there are lots of things that do into making a car fast, not just the tune. Mods, weight, driver ability, etc...

Tuning is not magic, it's generally about finding a balance of air/fuel and timing to where the car increases in power but is also safe in different driving conditions. From the factory, most cars are left with lot's of room on the table. This is to be overly cautious.

You don't buy a tune because it's going to make your car the fastest. That's why people made joking references to video games because the op sounds like he's playing a race car game and wants to know which tune to buy for his car. This isn't gran turismo.

Ignorance in the car scene is frustrating. I wish people would read and listen instead of doing and speaking sometimes. I've been working in the performance car scene for too long, i think it makes you less patient. Sometimes i try to be more patient but it's hard seeing people talk about cars like they're like video games, then complain when they blow up or something goes wrong.

Not really. I suggest the OP PM the folks on the list I have linked.

with the 20 different tuners out there, who sells the fastest bolt on NA tune?

I believe the fastest is still 171.5 MPH. Not for sale at any price, but free if you are local and want to go to the track and get the car dialed in.

I did enter but have no big expectations this time, as powertrain wise it won't have anything different. Those CJ parts are just too slow coming from Ford. Really the last time I thought it gave me more than I could have ever asked for, I'd have never dreamed a factory engine in a Mustang could run right in the middle of the Z-06 pack through a mile.

I'm giving Shaun@AED the opportunity to tune my car. I hope I'm happy when it's all said and done! :banana::banana:

What tune do you have on it now?

 

[65sohc]

Satisfied with my decision for you to tune my car!:banana:

Congrats! :beer:

And I thought my Race Red Boss was shiny.

Good points. Ford builds in a large safety margin to account for the most extreme set of catastrophic circumstances. This wasn't always the case. I remember when my dad bought his Mustang in 1965. At the age of 12 I sat in the car all night reading the owners manual cover to cover. I'll never forget the disclaimer for the 289 High Performance engine. It had a 90 day warranty because they new what people were going to do with it. Tuners make power by basically narrowing that margin of safety. When Shaun ran my car to 8300 on his dyno I cringed and said, "I'll never run it that hard." He replied, in effect, that he wanted to be sure it was safe under the most severe conditions. There might have been a few more hp in there, but it's those last few that can kill you.

You know the answer to that.

One thing that hasn't been discussed much in general is consistency among the various tuners.

For example, you have a shop car that runs 10's. How does that translate to customer times/results? Has it been duplicated on another customer's car?

I think it would be extremely interesting to put those metrics together.

People also fail to see the difference between someone who can copy and paste, and someone who actually understands EFI tuning and 4 stroke engines in general. But that's a whole different story. Everytime a new car pops up nowadays, some brand new tuner sprouts up and "specializes" in only flashing said card on said program.
