Performance tunes for 2011 5.0 (automatic)

Joe Fan said:

I am in the market for a performance tune for my 2011 Mustang GT/CS (automatic). I want the best tune that will lower my existing 1/4 mile time of 12.794 sec. I used BamaChips in the past for my 4.6 GT and loved their race tune for the automatic. However, I have read that Brenspeed tunes seem to be more alive in higher gears and that BamaChips seem to be better in lower gears. I have cut a 1.972 60 foot time as well as several 60 foot times under 2.000 seconds. I think I need more power at the end of the 1/4 mile to improve my time.

I have also thought about adding a CAI and Boss 302 Intake Manifold. I would like to eventually get into the 12.2-12.4 sec range for the 1/4 mile. I think by adding a good tune I could be in the 12.5 range.

I too have a 2011 Mustang GT 5.0 automatic and have done the following modifications - Steeda CAI, SCT Performance 93 Octane Tune and replaced my factory installed 3.15 gears with 3.73 's. If your looking to improve your ET I'd suggest doing minor modifications to the car such as what I've done. Adding long tube headers, and and a good cat back system will also improve performance. It all depends on how much you want to spend.
