I was one of their "beta-testers" signed up like 2 years ago and got an email a year later from them. Tested it for a few months last year and it was decent. Got rid of some of the drive-by-wire lag and it "felt" like it pulled a little harder. Also it was a decent device for monitoring things (could read A/F from OBD2). However they never asked me to get on a dyno or anything like that so not sure where they are getting their numbers from.

After having the device for a few weeks I sent them some feedback etc.. and never heard from them again. After installing the SC I don't really have a use for it in the Z, so its going to go in the Cube.. That 1.8L needs all the help it can get.

Default thanks

Thank you.
I got it yesterday, I got one of the guys to overnight it for free. I did everything step by step but it still didnt work it gave me an error code and told me to update or call bully. I called and they told me I had to wait till next wednesday for the new update. Ive seen some claims on the internet that the Z is good for 13.7 and some as fast as 13.3. I know how to drive decent, but Im no professional by any means. I just want 13.0-13.4. For example two weeks ago a buddy took his 2011 stang 5.0 to the track and pulled a couple 15's, 1- 14, and the 13.6 was his fastest. I cant vouche for his driving or how hard is to put the power down on a that car. But the car is way better than that according to specs. Now is the waiting game but. Ill let you guys know.

m4a1mustang on the forum also has the 5.0 Mustang and I believe he ran 12's at the track. I'm heading out to the drag strip for the first time this weekend (if it doesn't rain) and I'm hoping for low 13's as well with a stock 7AT.

I'm pure stock 2009 7at and on my first 1/4 mile I did 13.35 @ 105.6 mph, that's with a horrible 60 ft, try launching between 1400-1700 rpm, seems to work best

Default thanks i'll try it.

Ive launched my car only 2 times since I got 3 weeks ago. Both times at 1500 the first one was a heck of a launch the second it just fell on its face. I think i let the clutch out too fast. Im going to try it couple hundred higher and easy on the clutch. How much abuse can the stock clutch take though?

I'm definitely interested in a tune that gets rid of the throttle lag, w/o tweaking the scaling on the throttle pedal. Does anyone know if the uprev tuners can do the same?

the stock clutch can take plenty of abuse. I had about 100+ track launches on mine when I pulled it out. And I usually launch at 4000 to 4500 rpm. and for what it's worth it had about 26k miles on it when i pulled it out.

I still have that stock clutch too, sitting in storage. Jnaut (who did the install of my 2010 clutch and jwt flywheel) said it looked still pretty good. and it also drove pretty well when i replaced it.
