Funny you should mention that and I was trying not to get sucked in with placebo, but I swear blind my car pulls harder in first now than it's ever done before after buttoning up the rear end a little ...

From new I always thought first was a little 'flat' (to say the least), but now I wonder if the ECU was just keeping it in order a little more than I would have liked - no dash lights though ?

Euro GT (like PP1) / Magride / 3.55 / traction lock / M6 always in sport+ if anyone is interested.

Mods that might have made a difference = diff bushes / subframe bushes / vertical links.

I was wondering if the hop / sudden variances in wheel speed were making the computer unhappy and now they are gone and its smooth when spinning, it lets me play a bit more.

Full throttle (rolling onto it in first) will now leave me two faint lines down the road - it's never done that in the past ... ?

I was tempted to start a thread, but forgot ... lol

From my experience that is absolutely true. I have the full Steeda stop the hop handling ultimate kit and the car just goes!!! Kinda weird that this car with 500 HP hooks and goes better than my buddies terminator did with the same HP.

I’ll never own a mustang that doesn’t get suspension handled first after this. I’m definitely a believer.

Step 1; Turn everything off.
Step 2; Learn how to actually drive.
Step 3; Stop relying one electronic nannies like a bunch of wimins.

Of course it's going to bog if you leave TC on. What an dumbass move.
Here’s an alternate way to the OP know we care about him...and desire to help him with his dilemma…

Thanks for sharing your interest in wanting to improve your launch, Anthony. Here are some steps to consider.
Step 1; Disable electronic controls features.
Step 2; Practice without using those electronic features.
Step 3;

We are fortunate to have a lot of people on this forum who also have been where you are, and are willing to patiently share. I’ll defer to them, and I’m confident their responses will be beneficial to you, as we are a community that cares, and has an interest in helping each other succeed.

Again, thank you for sharing your interest to improve your launch.
I believe that is what KingKona really meant to say, but didn't know how. šŸ˜‰

As others have said, don't slam the gas, lay on it gentle in 1st, and don't give it the beans till 3rd gear.

Nice to see it just moving around a little under you without it getting crazy or going up in smoke :like:

In a NA stang (I appreciate you are forced), you are not going to win the traffic light grand prix waiting until 70mph+ before giving it the beans ... :like:

Another thing I should add... I'm not using a complete 'stop the hop kit'. Just STEEDA IRS alignment & bushing lockout kit, and the key: UPR PRO SERIES vertical links. ZERO hop w/ my MT82 and radial tires.

And there he is, offering nothing constructive to the OP’s question.

I don’t think so, I don’t care for rude people and you very rude. So you’ll hear from me in the future. See you soon. Love Janice
