I did a highway run with a friend of mine. Mods in sig but this time I was running 93 octane and the stock 99 LS1 intake/injectors. His car is a 2012 5.0 premium with 3.73's and he's a hell of a driver. I get him by about a fender from a 50ish roll, full weight vert with my 320lb *** in it. Going to redo the race, he just got an intake and tune and I just cleaned up my tune a bit as well... we'll see.

Nice Kill OP and SICK ws6. Judging by that video even a tune and bolt ons wont gain him those car lengths back its just to many. But Ill wait for the ford guys to come in and say what could have happen to the low 12 second bone stock car

Lol i know your not talkin about the "rice" vette, the one with the shark body kit? IF that is the one you are speaking of, that is my buddy alex.

.. Car sounded good!I used to come out all the time, but got fed up with all the kids and their stupid ****. I only went out last weekend because me and my buddy just wanted to kick a couple runs off. First time I was out since last summer.

CAI + tune explained On the Mustangs, the MAF sensor is at the end of the "air tube" that goes to the TB. It measures air velocity thru it's area and the computer calculates how much air goes thru knowing the cross section of tube.
Simply put, velocity X cross section = however many CFM of air that goes thru.
If you enlarge the "tube", given the same velocity, you get more CFM.
Because the MAF sensor is reused and remains the same size, the computer needs to know the size of the "tube", if it is different from OEM to calculate CFMs.
That's what the tune is for, to tyell the ECU what size the "tube" is.
You can see that the aftermarket CAI on the right will flow more, given the same air velocity thru the sensor.
Hope it all makes sense. . .

Yeah, I guess some engineer somewhere thought it was a good idea.
They did good with the distributor at the front on old pushrod motors, they may have dropped the ball on this one. . .Bottom line, it works, just needs more attention.
