Going from 12psi to 16psi is a boost increase.That would be the same peak boost, just getting it to hold boost rather than drop off like it does from the factory (AKA "Tuning")

wait, so 32-38% at peak or 32-38% somewhere in the RPM range?32% peak, but in the mid-rang he gained ~38%.

Eurofan claims that Ford, and all the Domestic makes, have lost sight of what's important, or their "priorities" I think. So you see no correlation between drag racing and any other motorsport? You assume that they are not doing any testing to make it handle better. Every race has a start correct? Usually involving a sprint to the first corner down a straightaway. Ever watch any trans am racing, or SCCA? Mustangs do just fine there against some stiff German competition. The new mustang even has a brembo brake upgrade availabe from the factory. So what if it has a solid rear axle, if it smokes the bimmers and porsches on the track I guess it works, and if it aint broke don't fix it.
So back to his post that their priorities need to be reevaluated. Don't you think that Ford knows the mustangs demographic a little by now? I mean they have only been selling the things for like 46 years. Isn't it logical to assume that a lot of new mustangs will see some time at the drag strip and significantly less will see a road course? You also brought up the cheap plasticky interior, I agree with you here somewhat it isn't very appealing but have you sat in a 65 and then an 05. I have and its like a time capsule, there is so much of the old pony car character in the interior I could give a shit about how the dash or the door panel feels on the rare occasion that I touch it. Another thing is it keeps costs down, so maybe I can't afford a new one right now but I can damn sure afford myself an 07 or 08 GT. Yes that is because it has depreciated in value a lot, but what about a 07 or 08 3 series could I touch one for 15 to 20K? If so, the depreciation is a lot more significant there.
In summary you don't know shit but thanks for playing.

^ Case in point you're obviously not in the mustangs target group, i.e. people who don't suck.:D

the only reason cobra rob doesnt like to ride bikes is because last time he hurt himself riding a bike with no seat, just the rod, when he hit a bump, well im i dont think i need to explain to you guys what happened. Im sure the thought it felt good at first, but im sure with all the bleeding and all that it brings back memories.
on second thought, maybe he does ride a bike again because of this very reason and just doesnt want anyone to know? hmmm...
