I'll start by saying I'm new to the Mustang world, this will be my first Stang. A big THANK YOU to TMS for all I've learned so far.

That said, I had been set on playing it safe - waiting awhile and preserving my warranty. However, my car hasn't even received a VIN yet and I'm already getting the bug!

With the engine changes to the 2013 I can't help but think maybe the 2011-12 owners did all the R&D and now the bugs have been worked out? I'm sure I'll still wait awhile...of course I will...three years...sure...

Any thoughts on this subject?

 

You should be fine. Btw that is the exact car i would haveordered except base and in black. You are gonna enjoy this new 5.0.

 

Yes, be the guinea pig for us '13 owners and tune it and run it WFO in 117° heat for us and see if #8, or all of them for that matter, stay inside the block!!!!

C'mon! You know you want to!!!!

 

Hahaha! Yeah, that's probably what's going to happen. I'm feeling pretty good about exhaust, CAI and a tune.

 

To the OP,

Again...nothing to worry about. Tune it and run the **** put of it. Lol. That's what I do in the Florida sun!

Well technically you guys are the guinea pigs for the new piston design. Hehehe.

I kid.

 

Just read the whole Steeda CAI thread that covers this issue pretty well.

Nevermind.
