I'm at 3300 miles and the deep rumble isn't as good as it used to be. Not completely sure why...it sort of decreased the same day I had my oil changed. That night I took it out for a good drive and at the end of the 70 mile trip it almost had a lawnmower sound in the first gears...really bad. I did fill the tank with 93 octane twice...not knowing the car had to be tuned for it. Does the engine need to be retuned? I've got a CAI and Diablosport on the way.

I'm still trying to learn as much about engines as fast as possible. Do they sound differently after a tune...anyone know how I can get that deep roar back?

If the engine drastically changed tones you have bigger problems than a tune. Running 93 without a tune dosent hurt anything it is just a waste of money for the 93.

Yah i'm getting used to it....the speed and everythting else is just the same as when I bought it. I can't wait until the JBA long-tube headers get here, that the JBA H-Pipe and Magnaflow Exhaust should change it up. Although I have to say the Stang sounds damn good stock.
