TEK, get in line man. I bet Manny could make great power with your car.

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°

Congrats man! How long was the waiting list?

**5.0forLIFE** · 11-09-2014, 04:59 PM

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.

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.

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.

**TEK302** · 11-10-2014, 10:44 PM

ouch.. how much just to get your car dynoed to see how much whp you got?

go to True Street, its a lot cheaper than 135/hr!

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.
