Hopefully someone can give me some good insight into my issue that I have been having pretty much since I got my Mustang. Just have gotten frustrated enough to start asking around.

I have a 2007 GT 5 speed and the only mod I have is a K&N cold air. If I am at a dead stop and then hard accelerate, it seems like my engine gets really bogged down, like there is a lack of torque, until it reaches 2k RPM. It almost feels like something is holding it back or like turbo lag. Could this be an engine management problem that a good tune could resolve or sound like something else?

Now I have read numerous forums about throttle lag, which this maybe the same that others refer to as lag, but I wouldn't describe it as lag really. You can tell the engine is trying to do something because the tone of the exhaust changes.

Any ideas would be appreciated, thx

Your issue stems from the fact that you have a CAI and no tune. Get a tune and it will go away.
