Will tuning make a difference?

[Mustangog2003]

When I get my GT tuned with the XE270 cams, with my other mods, make a difference that I could feel? The car feels a little better with cams and its running really rich. I have a friend with a mach 1 that still pulls on the street but I beat him at track. I dont want him to pull like does.

I cant imagine not being able to fell a difference with a tune. If anything everything will run smoother.

Well you answered your own question. If your running extreamly rich then you should deffinatly feel a difference with the tune. Not only that but you will save gas and treat your motor better.

YES!

Its useless to install cams for added airflow and duration if youre not going to be running the correct air to fuel ratio to properly take advantage of them.

You're supposed to get a tune with ANY cam upgrade to get the maximum benefit, especially with a cam like you have.

You will benefit greatly with a tune aspecially with cams.
A tune is all about pushing the most hp/tq out of your set up.

Mine made a world of difference. The peak HP gain was minimal but smoothing out the A/F and timing curve gave me power throughout the RPM range. Knocked a good 4 tenths off my track times.

Be glad your running really rich and not really lean if you racing it!!!

Alot of people notice a difference after a tune on a mild-bolt on car. I imagine it would really wake up a cammed car.

what do you guys consider a "mildly modded car"?

 

[hotmustang331]

Cat back or weldins, and maybe a few other things like UD pulleys and a CIA, and maybe a handheld tuner. After that i really wouldnt call it mildly modified

Your basic bolt-ons without cracking into the engine.
