This is why you should always check with a dealer and the answer you may get may not always be the same.
If your getting a sticking clutch pedal it is not a tune issue, most likely the assist spring or you may need to switch to DOT 4 brake fluid and a braided clutch line.

I suggest contacting The ford racing techs and asking them what you need to do to get what you want. I did form my change and was not disappointed.
The GT500 mufflers and (Kooks) X-pipe is something I am considering purchasing. As far as tunes are concerned which has the best low end gain for daily driving? I saw the GT500 axlebacks and Ford racing tune in a package on AM and am considering pulling the trigger.

Yes I know it was not the tune since it was doing that before I put the tune in. They were saying the tune changes the syncing somehow. It is a common issue from what I heard and it is like you said the assist spring catches and does not allow the pedal to fully return. The only way they could reproduce it was to take it out and drive it like they stole it. They did not want to do that.

If I was purchasing a car for warranty purposes, it wouldn't be a Mustang for that matter. Ford service consistently treat their customers like crap. I would buy a Lexus, Mercedes, Bmw etc for that matter. You get what you pay for when it comes to service. If you want to go 11 seconds for under 30k, 11+ Mustangs all day long.
