Glad to hear its worth it. Was hoping it could get rid of the lag the car seems to have. Ordered my intake yesterday, so once I have that and the wideband in i'm good to go

U'll just have to look for a dealer near u that can tune it for ya. I have a few near me, one has a mustang dyno but I don't really care to have mine dynoed right now, especially on a mustang one

Nice run man for first time out. I wanna get to the track maybe this sat. I'm auto so I would be very happy if I got your time or slightly lower. High 14's can be done with a manual 2.4 for sure so keep it up and add a few more mods when you get the money.
