Are you in our mustang club too? I have only met Justin once or maybe twice and don't really know him. It really stinks the piston blew!

Why anyone would add a tune to their car is beyond me, at least not until after they are out of warranty. Jeez at some point it does become over-compensating....how 420 ponies can't be enough is beyond me....just realize there will always be someone whose car is faster than yours....
420 is not enough for many of us. I've been drag racing for 32 years and am always looking for more power.

Why not? It's a free world, and that's what keeps the muscle car war in business. I'm glad that there are those that push the envelope and always go for more.
The above was said as I stood in front of my PC monitor, right hand across my heart, singing God bless America...

Justin is a friend of mine, I am "Trevor" on that post. He drives the ***** off the car, just like I do.
I melted a piston stock, Justin cracked a ring I will bet that and when I look down I will confirm.
The tuner is one the the "Kool Aid" tuners, let that sink in guys as a hint

That's all I'm looking for for my car. I have a 2000 GT auto and one of my best mods was a tune that created better shift points. Made the car a lot more fun to drive.

I don't know your financial situation but driving a new mustang I know what you spent and I doubt $2.00 a fill up is a big deal and if so.....

Treed me. There is no way I would put less than 91 in my car. That's best we have in California. Its worth the whole 2-3 dollars a tank. Imo
