Sorry dude, I'll call bullshit on your 14.9 even with a manual. No tune, a throttlebody which does nothing, 4.10s and a tlok..not on a singleport, I'll throw the flag now until otherwise proven.

Either way, your lack of tune is throwing off everything, invest in the tuner. No grandma is going to have an aftermarket tune in her car.

That's pretty damn good for an auto split port. You need better gears and you can run with GT's. **** if its like most GT drivers I see at the track even modded ones have a hard time going faster then mid 14's. Cause they suck at driving.

Yeah no offence but a 14.9 is not achivable with the mods you have 15.9-.8 sounds dead on for your mods. A lucky run will not cut a second off your time not even possible. Especially becuase there is no such thing as a luckey run you can either drive a stick or you can't.

In a car that weighs as much as ours (about 3250lbs)

the difference between a 15.9 and a 14.9 is the difference of about 30 rwhp

Yeah regardless of what he got, lets stick to the task at hand Btw will the SCT tuners allow you to change shift pressure on autos? Or do you need a better tune for that?

It'll change the shift pressure on a auto, remove the rev limiter (if you want that..i don't recommend..)

Actually, I don't even approve of changing the shift pressure, WTF for?? My shift pressure was adjusted in the transmission itself and i flippin hate it and I'm having nothing but issues (possibly a bad build) but still..

The $379 tuner ..wtfs the price gotta do with it dude? What tuner did you have before? The reason you buy a tuner is to correct issues and narrow the a/f down to level on a dyno.

The **** that'll matter is on the track. next time you run it, lets see some time slips.

Pullies will help you, that tuner is going to help you.

But yea, I dynoed at a whopping 150 RWHP so what do I know

there's only one tuner on am for that price
SCT SF3 / XCal3 Power Flash Mustang Preloaded Tuner (96-09)
and if you actually read any of the other posts you'd see that there was no tuner in it before just the rev limiter stopping it

If he got a good launch, I wouldn't be surprised to see him do 15 flat. I ran a 15.4 stock so I'm sure with those mods he could do better than that.
