2011/12 5.0 owners - "ghost cam" tune?

[SonicblueGT03]

here is the event you are talking about.

http://www.mustang50magazine.com/eventcoverage/m5lp_1108_2011_spring_5_0_shootout/viewall.html

fastest stock tire was 11.94/114 and he had intake/mufflers and a tune

the 11.7@119.94 ls3 c6 m6 i posted was BONE STOCK (showroom stock is what it is called, down to the run flats)

Out of curiousity, what car is that LS3 in?

My bad, selective memory kicking in.

n/p. can we at least agree that a ls3 c6 and a coyote would be a good run?

Should be close enough to be a drivers race.

5.0 magazine did an All Coyote Shootout at MIR late last year, and IIRC, the fastest stock tire 5.0 ran 11.8x @ 116 or so. Still not sure how they managed to hook at all on those damn Pirelli tires.

Just got to know how to row through the gears playa, and cutting a good light and 60ft are paramount...

I can shift with the best of them, been doing this a long time, but launching on the stock Pirellis was an exercise in frustration. 1500 RPM and all was good, but try 1550 RPM and it would blow the tires off. And then I watched a guy at MIR last year launch his on Pirellis at what had to be 3500 and cut a 1.8x 60'. I bow before anyone who can do that! LOL! As for me, I'll stick with my DR's.

[JarHeadTex]

can you launch without fear with DRs?

Pretty much, except for the normal "fear" when launching on sticky tires (u-joints, drive shafts, etc.). Can't worry about them until the break though, and that's why you carry spares.

I have 13k miles with my ghost cam zero issues, car dyno'd 421RWHP with JLT intake , o/r X , hush power flowmaster mufflers , and the LUND tune.

I'm curious how big a difference the JLT would make... it'd be interesting to run you and see how much you pull on me. I have a drop in K&N, offroad H, and an AED tune. I'm guessing only 400 to the wheels for me, but it feels like a lot more.

We need to have a gtg at the track, my stock A6 wants some action...

Bring it!!!!!!! But that is a great idea of a "new 5.0" GTG at the track.

Your car sounds great, but it's silly loud too. I'm too old to have a car that loud now. Haha.

That's a good thought. I'd love to see how that works out. As I said in the other thread, I'm conflicted on what to do now in regards to doing a CAI or not.

[Doug Hatton]

I'm going to hold off on doing a CAI on mine, partially because I don't want to buy any mods that don't mesh well with my long term plans (blower) and partially because I think the majority of the gains are from the tune. I could be wrong and be leaving some HP on the table, but I'm ok with that. That's $300 I could put toward the KB. I've parted $1200 off of the foxbody so far... only $5200 more before I can buy my tuner kit! LOL!

I agree Dougles, the power is coming from the tune. A K&N is fine and like you mentioned the Tuner Kit will come with its own CAI.

BTW you work too much, Ive been stalking you for weeks and you're never home.
