so you want the revs to drop???????? They do drop, but because its drive by wire, it takes a while to react.
Well, yes, I guess I do. Seems like kind of natural result when you lift off the throttle, doesn't it????
I can't buy that "drive by wire" is the reason. Drive by wire can be anything that's programmed. If it doesn't bug you, fine. But I happen to like a bit more response.
What's involved in a "new tune"?yes, the stock tune makes the throttle "hang."a new tune will fix that and add a bunch of power, improve throttle respone and give you a huge
!
buy a tuner (like SCT XCAL2) from a good company, use the tuner to load the tune to your car and enjoy. for about $400, its the best mod you can do to your S197.
you can visit some of the SCT tuners websites. brenspeed.com, bamachips.com, etc. another alternative to the SCT tuner is the diablosport predator. i dont have one, so i dont know who makes tunes for them.
pick up a mustang magazine, and there should be tons of ads for S197 vendors. or you could search these forums and find many good posts about tunes and tuners.

Thanks for the advice, amigo.

Yes Sir it is the way they are stock. It has to do with polution control, by burning up a bit more gas before it goes out the exhuast. I tuned it out with my SCT X cal 2. It wont bother you after you tune to a 93 octane tune like I have on my 07 GT.
I run a Brenspeed Tune and have a C&L CAI with Pypes axel backs. Best time on stock street tires and 15 lbs of air in them was 12.94 at 110mph. But I normally run in the low 13's. You'll love it!

I didnt say it doesnt bother me, but i guess I didnt understand your question. I thought it was better to keep the rpms up durring shifting.
When downshifting, yes. It's good to rev the engine to where the RPMs will be after you release the clutch in the lower gear. That's what "heal and toe" shifting if for. You blip the throttle to get the revs up - "rev matching".
However when upshifting, you (or at least I) want the RPMs to fall naturally (and quickly) to where they'll be when the higher gear is engaged.
