    Can anyone talk me out of a Steeda tune?

    Before we get started, I know AED is a popular tune, however since I don't have a SCT tuner, the cost for the tune is $650, which is too much at this point in time. So, my first choice has moved on. Had it been just a $250 charge to update my own SCT, then they would have my money Monday...

    Launch control test. Advance trac sport vs. advance control off.

    Launching our cars is very important and there will always be differing opinions. Yesterday at Evadale raceway near Beaumont Texas I did an experiment to see which was the best traction control method. Some favor shutting the advance trac totally off by pressing the traction control...

    For those concerned bone stock vs. FRPP tune.

    OK, this is about the best test I can come up with comparing my car bone stock vs. FRPP tune. Same night, DA from -100 to -350, so DA isn't a major factor. Same lane at Royal Purple near Houston, Texas. Car is a 2013 Mustang GT with automatic transmission and 3.15 gears, non premium and...

    Primary trip to track, 2013 auto, bone stock

    Traded Mustang for Mustang

    Today my wife drove home a brand new 2013 Mustang GT with automatic transmission and the tech pack. Same color (DIB) and everything. It's a basic GT with package 301A and auto transmission. The wife just wouldn't drive the manual and I felt a bit selfish about getting a manual in the first...

    Several new PB's today, I think I'm getting to know my car

    I put this in another forum, but didn't get much feed back. Up until today, my PB was 12.758 @ 112.79 which was ran in + 800 DA a couple of weeks ago at Royal Purple Raceway. Mods.are lower control arms, line lock, MGW shifter, GT 500 mufflers, and FRPP tune. No doubt, I've not been highly...

    FRPP tune, detonation on the dyno

    On Dec. 26, 2012 I had he local Ford place, Tommie Vaughn do a Pro-Cal tune on my 2013 GT, manual with 3.73 gears. Since then, no check engine lights or anything that would lead me to think that there was any problems. Since I drive a company truck I drive just a little faster during regular...

    Why hand held 'tuners' concern me.

    My quick history of modded cars. 2005 GTO and 2009 G8 GXP both had dyno tunes installed by tuners, and I never had a hand held tuner. My theory was that the dyno tunes were full bore quality tunes, and that I really didn't know what to do with some of the parameters that people mess with...

    Quick question about track prep for the quarter mile

    To be honest, at my age (58) and working for the local electric utility company and driving a company truck, I basically drive a bit aggressive, but I really baby the car on the street. To set up my question, let me take a quick trip back to 2005. I had a 2005 auto LS2 GTO and a good...

    Need some qualified opinions on some almost made purchases.

    I've already gotten some goodies to be installed (http://www.allfordmustangs.com/forum...203-post1.html), however it seems I've gotten some great buys on a couple of items that I would like some opinions on. First of all will be the FR500 axle backs, which is a given, discussion not really...

    First trip to the track (Baytown, Texas) in a manual.

    Basically a newbie here. Now you guys know I'm going to take Lil Pony to the track. Hell, we all know that. Everything I've learned racing my 2005 A4 GTO, 09 A6 Vette, and 09 A6 G8 GXP goes down the drain racing my 2013 M6 Mustang GT. What did I learn from my GM autos? A lot was learned...
