HOLY SH**T it's as though the car is on steroids and you were right, not only can you feel the additional power and torque through out the entire RPM range but the throttle response is so much stronger, quicker and YES much more sensitive as well..
... Back at ya. Yeah, you'll get used to it and you will not want to go back to anything else. Wonder if Doug offers a return policy on the other tunes...lol. I went back to the 87 just to experiment and now I have to go through a whole tank of gas . How many tanks of 93 did you go through before installing the 93? I noticed better performance as I was running empty on the 1st tank of 93. These tunes are so precise that I could tell that there was some 87 mixed with the 93 . BTW- Let me know when you get the FRPP/Stingers. I'm I big proponent of the Flows. I love the sound, but I think that I may want something a little louder. I'm only waking up some of my neighbors. I want to wake them all up...lol. Happy New Year .

I have noticed this too, but pretty much with the stock tune too. I found by letting off the gas before I push in the clutch and giving it a little throttle before I release the clutch really helps. It's all a matter of timing. There is a lag between the throttle cut off and throttle turn on. It might not make sense, but it must be the engine not recognizing a load so it backs off for a split second, then Doug's tune says GO GO GO. Now...once you have a "load" on the engine the throttle is extremely responsive! A friend of mine drove my car yesterday and had the same problem. I can get in his '95 Cobra and get used to his in about 3 minutes. It's all in what you have been driving, IMO. I find these cars very easy to bang through at WOT though!

Actually Pat, I haven't used 87 octane since installing my Steeda intake back in May but from what I recall ? I went through 2 complete tanks of 93 before installing the 93 octane tune so pretty much back then ? I was running the 87 octane tune until nearly running the 2nd tank of 93 dry and then switched over to the 93 tune..As for the FRPP/Stingers ? I'm thinking about those because their a straight flow through design and are also much lighter in weight compared to the stock axle back.. Happy New Year neighbor

Rocky....One thing I can say about Doug is once you let him know there is a problem, he'll work his *** off to get your problem taken care of and make sure that you are happy. BamaChips kick ***!

You bring up a very good point and I think my problem is ? I was used to driving the car for so long with the lag between throttle cut off and throttle turn on so YES it does make sense so now it's just going to take time getting used to there being no throttle lag cut off.. so by trying your suggestion of giving it a little throttle before releasing the clutch should really do the trick..And BTW ? Happy New Year to you..

You know your absolutely right Paul and to be honest with you I've known Doug for almost a year now both as online and by telephone and this was long before I officially became one of his customers ? and within that year Doug has always taken the time to answer each and every one of my technical questions concerning the different CAI systems and also explained in complete detail why he breaks down his tunes into 3 separate areas and how their different from his competitors ? and not once did he ever expect anything in return so I knew from that point on that Doug was someone who can really be trusted..As I said in an earlier post ? I should have know there was a logical reason why that issue with Live Load software took place to begin with ? but at the time I just didn't understand why and as a result ? I became paranoid and freaked out when all along ? I should have known better..

Well, I guess I don't post enough and only hang out in the tech areas. I have been on Stangnet and Corral for years and don't have too many posts there either, compared to some. I guess I blabbed on Corral quite a bit.

I posted a lot on a Lincoln LS forum as there was not a lot of technical info yet and I created some tech pages as my '00 LS8 had MANY problems when I bought it, forcing me to learn alot about it.

Also, my job has kept me so busy, sometimes I don't get here for weeks at a time! I had this week off, so I was able to get caught up a little bit!

Mine does that too, it's pretty much stock though, you definitely have to do it just right to get it to not act like that. I always feel retarded when it starts doing it too.

I definitely can't wait to get rid of this throttle lag though.

Yes mine too and boy does she hold on to the lower gears when I am going slow. Just tap the throttle and she jumps and is off and running quick!
