a tuner is w/e
honestly with out a laptop or a/f adjusting isnt really benificial or your still playing with fire kinda.
for bolt on yea its good ok
after nitrous or s/c or turbo its more like here you go to get to the dyno

unless you have preloaded tunes...even then it wont touch a dyno which again its better for bolt ons

ive got a lean and rich code on my car lol i know the sensors are fine because on the dyno my a/f was rich but decent

anyway i blame the tuner. and myself for waiting to get a dyno so long

I hope you got more than new tires. Just curious, why do you want to take your Mustang over 115? Is it for the track?

sarcasm. Im not a big believer in taking a stock Mustang on the street to 115 for more than one reason.

A race last 1/8th of a mile or 1/4th of a mile, anything after that is a p*ssing contest. (ricers typically do that... we call it the ricer fly buy!)
