Tuning is required for the so called tuneless intakes

Since some of us bought our Mustangs to enjoy the car and aren't necessarily fixated on a "need for speed". 
Don't get me wrong... Tunes are cool but they're simply not high priority mods, at least to me. Will I eventually drop a Bamachips tune on my car, heck ya! Will I drop all my other mod's planned and get the tune right now since someone 1500 miles away from me over-generalized and said that all "no tune" CAI's need to have aftermarket tunes? NOT!!!

, but I sure would never go back to whoever did that first chart.At a quick glance the first chart looks like the car shifted down to 3rd and the torque converter wasn't locked down. Also shows the K&N on your car going pig rich, not lean.

I got an Airaid system in my car, without a tune, and the check engine light has NEVER come on! The car has run better since I put this system in, and there hasn't been any issues with it. I will be getting a BamaChips X-Cal over the winter, but so far, I haven't had any problems with my car or the Airaid.

When you're ready, Doug has tunes for it as well

Here are two dyno runs, one was done Sept 15 at a local dyno. This was for a base run, come to find out the operator had it set on STD and not SAE, so there will be some differences there.
The 2ed one is the tune with Doug from Bamatunes on November 11th in St. Louis.
Currently the issue is with air flow, you can see the changes Doug made with the tune. also note the HP difference, took out the torque converter problem and smoothed out the roughness.
I am happy with what he did, well worth the money spent.
Which dyno would you like your car to be?

Looks like Doug put a nice tune on your car , but I sure would never go back to whoever did that first chart.

The first one is factory stock.
the second one is Dougs

The a/f on the 2nd dyno sheet (the one with Doug's tune) is at approx. 16:1 until approx. 4K and up. That seems very lean for WOT...or even cruise for that matter. I thought that the a/f should be at or below stioch (14.7:1) unless there is no load on engine (idle, etc.)...12.5-13:1 when at WOT. The a/f looks great above 4K, but seems lean below 4K. Anyone want to offer some input on this?
