WOT Fuel is the amount of fuel going to the car under wide open throttle. Idle RPM is the RPM speed that the car idles at .. Who tuned this Xcal3?

if you dont know what you're doing, i wouldn't touch the tune. if your mustang is running good how it is, dont mess w/ it.

what mods on your car? if you got only basic bolt ons like CAI, exhaust, etc. then you should leave well enough alone.

if you want to make it faster, get more mods then retune. if you want better gas mileage dont press the throttle as much. thats the easy way.

i'd say get some 410s or so in the rear. you should be able to pull them easily. or just practice launching. these cars seem slow in the low RPMs so you just gotta keep the Rs up. launch it at like 2500 and try different ways of doing it. slipping the clutch out slower, or just dumping it. and mess with a few different RPMs, find out what gives you the best results.


as for the tuner, i have the same one, and with a reputable tuner, like bamachips, brenspeed, or vmp etc. i wouldn't worry too much about making adjustments.

I launch my car at 2000 because the tires start spinning after that(it's an automatic) and when it was on stock I would feel it much stronger...I already ordered a new tune with vmp.
