I may have missed it, is this car an auto or 5-speed?

I have a magnaflow catted x-pipe and magnaflow catback. The car is a five speed and has a T-45 transmission.

The stock maf is only 80 mm...You would benefit from a 90 mm MAF. Also, I'd richen it up, just a little but that's me

I wanted to use a 90mm lightning MAF, but the tuner said that I wouldn't need it with this tune and it would require them creating a whole new tune for the car. At this point I am hesitant to ask the the tuner to do anything else as it is next to impossible to get him on the phone and when I do he do he doesn't offer up any real solutions. He merely hints that I might need a spark booster. To me that is utterly rediculous, since I happen to know someone running way more boost on the stock ignition with no problems. Also, I refuse to throw another 250 dollars down the drain on his hunch.

Actually my MAF is 75mm. They didn't swith to the 80mm until sometime in 2002 I believe. I have thought about trying a later model 80mm MAF, but I'm tired of throwing money at the dyno hoping something will work.

I believe stock MAF's from 96 up was 80mm.

You need more timing. Who is doing the tuning? What kind of software? SCT?

NO need for a boost-a-spark at this point. I could have swore that an 02+ Mustang had an 85 mm MAF and everything before was 80. I still think you need a Lightning MAF.

AUTO or 5-SPEED???

I didn't have more than 16* of timing at 6000 rpms on my Vortech setup..and on my Novi, I only had 14*

[QWKSNKE]

he said it was a 5-speed

[asilver2001gt]

nevermind i'm a dumb ass

are the TR-6 plugs a colder plug than stock? all i've ever used are the br7ef

The 2000 puts more air out than the procharger P-1

He is intercooled so he should be able to run more timing

[QWKSNKE]

Look at his graph though. He needs more fuel. That's to close to the edge in my opinion
