Need Ground Wire???

I have been reading that a lot of people are experiencing the same Throttle Lag that I am... I know on Previous Mustangs and on other New Model Ford Such as the Fusion and the Crown Vic, if you install a Ground wire it helps with throttle response and also a slight increase in HP. Is this something you could do in the 05+ Mustangs???

No idea about the ground wire but I know that the lag is from the drive by wire system. Theer is no throttle cable. It is done by computer. A tune will take care of this. Look in the GT performance and Tech for tune info.

yeah i have never heard of adding a ground wire, and i highly doubt there will be any type of gain from it, do not start cutting up things just get a Tune from Bamachips and say good bye to throttle lag for good

It's programed into the system. You need a tune to program a different level of response.
