Doug was in town and I had him tune my Mustang.

Best part he increased my gas mileage from 25 mpg at 70 mph to 26.3mpg at 70mph.

The final SAE corrected numbers were 298.02 and 314.99 torque, not bad for 20" rims and tires.

See my sig for the bolt on list. I have the graph posted up on my Car Domain site. Please see the link below to visit.

This car is now so much more responsive, and it's ever so easy to break the rear end loose.

Those are pretty good numbers...If I would have guessed, I would have said 310-315 rwhp on a dyno jet with a stick..How warm was it when you did the dyno? And was it a custom dyno tune, or tune w/out the dyno?

I believe it was around 72 degrees and Doug was doing his custom tune. It feels like the numbers are higher.

Why didn't Justin tune your car? He is the owner/tuner at VMP right?

Justin is the owner and was busy with the FFW. Doug did the original tune, and he wasn't far off the mark.

I asked Doug how many tunes he had done,and he has done over 5000+ that's some experience.

BigCat has posted my dyno chart in the sticky area.



Thanks, Dewman

Some more good news from Doug. I had emailed him to let him know how well the car was running and he responded with

"Great, I'm glad you are pleased with it. The number could be better in a higher airflow situation as in that building you really didn't have much cool air coming across the front of the engine either."

So on the open road and in the am's you can feel just how good this tune is.

Of course I want more hp, so I'll looking foward to when Lee @ C&L comes out with his new upper 3V intake.

Thanks, Dewman
