Burnouts and Tune

[giomustang]

I am planning on buying an 05 stang with manual tranny. I heard from some magazines that the stock computer limits burnouts and takeoffs. Not t/c but a limiter in the computer. If so can burnouts be done and does a SCT or predator remove this. I want to smoke the tires!

You can smoke them in the stock form. Turn TCS off, rev her up, and spin.

why do people post the same post on every mustang board???

they only spin a little. if they get going good, then the computer kills the throttle, ending your burnout.....even eith the tcs off.

no way... you can roast them pretty good. When I get new tires (not soon), I'll make a good vid.

I tried it out last weekend.

The only problem that I had was the surprisingly good grip from the stock tires. I was able to keep the wheels spinning until the forward momentum and tire grip caught up with me. All the while I could modulate the throttle right at redline. I felt no indication of any torgue management.

Like most cars with good traction out of the hole you will need a line-lock to get really great, extended burnouts unless you are willing to toast your rear breaks and clutch.
