Never ran a baseline. I put the cold air intake and Bama tuner with preloaded tune on myself and when I went to HPP he made his own custom tune. Ambient temp was 65°

Makes your throttle much more responsive on top of the amazing power increase. Worth the $425. And after the first tune you only pay dyno time if you add any mods or want an e85 tune, etcetera. Dyno time runs $135/HR if im not mistaken.

lmfao. Im sure your car runs good, your problem is likely TIRES. It doesnt make THAT much power, but shitty tires will cause lots of issues.

That was for the tune on the dyno. And there's a reason it takes over a month just for an appointment. Go look at their lot. Completely filled with mustangs. Manny, the guy who does the tuning had a 2011 GT that he built up and sold and now has a brand new 2015 5.0. They also have a cobra drag car for drag competitions. Was a great investment in my mind. Completely different car with his tune. And STROKD is right about the tires.

Manny tunes are no different than anyone else's so don't get carried away with the koolaid drinking. lol. There is no magic mojo with basic bolt on cars. The only difference is that some tuners are a lil more aggressive with the timing and fuel tables than others.

Absolutely. You can have a ton of power, but if you can't put it down it's useless. Many times we've seen a car with less power take out a bigger powered car cuz it hooks like it should while the other guy blows the tires off. Spinning ain't winning!

Happened to me alot in the day till I bought my drag pack. :) pulling the wheels from a 50 roll helped win a lot more than painting the freeway with Nittos. Tires are a first swap in these bigger hp cars. If I had a new 5.0 Id likely order wheels and tires for it the week I brought it home. Huuuuuge inprivrment in performance.
