guess ur not hard2kill lol JFWY!

A custom tune will help alot. Your stock tune has alot of TQ management which retards timing under WOT conditions, So basically everytime you floor it your losing power because your engine is "managed" to save the weak 4l60e, A tune will fix this but your tranny might not like you for long.

Never let a ford beat you, if he's pulling on you get under his rear tire and put him in a wall!! j/k Yeah you should of beat him, try it again, that or he's playing you!
