I live in Georgia and until recently it has been over 100 degrees everyday. I bought my car in June and loved getting used to it. Then in July / August, I started to get used to its performance and started thinking that I wanted more. So I figured that I would naturally get a CAI/tune soon. Remember, the A/C is on full blast at all time and I'm still sweating in my long sleave BDU's!

Well, September has come and has brought cooler weather with it. My car feels like a monster with the A/C off. Now I feel like I can enjoy the performance gains for a couple more months until I get used to it and decide to finally get a CAI/tune. It is amazing what turning the A/C off will do.

 

If you think turning the AC off is amazing, wait until you get a CAI and tune......

 

The comparison is nowhere near the same. A/C off I barely feel the difference, CAI/tune, its a new car altogether

 

FIVE MORE DAYS BABY AND I"LL HAVE MY CAI/TUNE!!!

 

Tom, drop the cash...you won't be dissapointed...

 

hey retard, a tune will make you **** your pants

 

Hey newbie, no retards here!

 

Nice.

 

FWIW, the A/C automatically turns off at WOT.

 

Ditto...it's one of the reasons I love the Mustang and leave the four-bangers home on summer days. Although the AC does seem to amplify my clunky shifts.

 

Grow up!

 

I am saving for a CAI/tune as we speak. I would already have one if I wasn't saving so vigorously for twins = delivery date January!

 

Just ordered the SCT tuner from Brenspeed this morning...talk about a pre Christmas gift to myself.....woooo hoooo there is a Santa Claus!

 

Tis true, but all that "other" driving does bog the car down with the A/C on.

I have an especially long A/C season here in the Desert Southwest and it sucks the life out of this car.... not too mention the inherent detonation problems that are just a way of life here in the summer.

A/C on + detonation and pulled timing = one sluggish hotrod

 

Congrats dude! I got twins myself...boy/girls 4yrs old...a blessing from God...oh and I have color-matching car seats in the back of the Stang and they LOVE riding in it!! The Stinger's drone puts them to sleep, though....

 

Wow! What a mature intelligent comment. You must be so proud of yourself.

 

+1, and with a whoppng 8 posts to his name!

 

You should have seen my two boy`s faces when they saw the Mustang`s back seat. I took them up to the dealer on one of my visits. Neither one of my boys would fit in the back seat of a new Mustang. My 14 year old is already almost 6`2" and my 12 year old is about 5` tall. Almost instantly they asked how they were going to fit in the back seat. I just smilled a big s**t eating grin and said " You aren`t." It took a couple of seconds to sink in. That was worth the trip by itself.

i think turning off the TCS makes a bigger difference
