Mods are in the sig.

The issue is this.

Car runs great. Way better than my fox body did with h/c/i.

What i finding is that when i am allowing the car to slow down with the engine braking and i attempt to rev match to down shift, it seems as though the motored is labored or choking and then revving to down shift. I have no CEL's

Does anyone understand what I am trying to say? Anyone experience this or is this just something that the coyote engines do?

Thanks in advance.

I have no major problems doing the same thing. At first, I found I was a bit late on the reving of the engine.....changed my timing of the feet and much better now.

definitely not my timing. If I am lightly on the gas and then blip the throttle to downshift it is fine. Its like I stated above when it is slowing down by engine.

This fly by wire thing does have a different feel to it. It is hard to match the speed on a downshift. But I dont practice at it. That might help.

I am sure its not me or the way I shift.

My wife, who is not knowledgeable with cars in the least, even noticed and asked "is something wrong with the car?"

I hear alot of air rushing through the cai when I give it a fair amount of throttle. Is that normal on the newer stangs? If its not normal, maybe I should start there.

Hello wrathchild,

Have you been able to bring it in to your Ford dealer for diagnosis? If not, I recommend you make an appointment and then message me so I can look into it further and maybe escalate this. Please message me with your VIN, dealer, mileage, and contact info.

There is a tube that runs from your intake to inside the cabin of the car. That is what your hearing.

pro tip: don't roll up into the dealer with the bama tune. I'm sure you know that already but a few guys have made this mistake and paid the price.

have you tried flashing it back to stock and seeing if it still has this problem?
