CFT FTW
After a few trips to Orlando, Omar at Central Florida Turbo has officially owned my ECU with the AEM FIC. The car is amazing now! It drives like an OEM turbo setup. Idle and cruising AFR's are 14.5-15.5, mid throttle and mid boost AFR's are 12 solid and WOT full boost AFR's stick right at 11.5! He has told me he is anxious to play with more turbo TC's and in particular wants to tune an E-Manage TC to compare to the F/IC. If anyone is interested in having any of these things done, I highly recommend Omar. On top of being a great tuner, he stands behind a customer satisfaction guarantee that cannot be beaten! They are great at what they do at CFT (which is why their cars were featured in numerous magazines) and will not let you down. This thread is making it official that this shop is legit and knows how to treat your car and more importantly, their customers! Any questions, just PM me!

Nice. I decided to keep my tC and to pay it off and just toy around with it. Post pics and specs of your tC please? CFT on Goldenrod runs parallel to the street I live on, kind of. I live about 10 minutes from them.

It shouldn't take as long for you as it did for me. My schedule sucks because I work nights. To be honest, he could probably knock it out in one session now. He put sooo much effort into making my tune flawless. Didn't charge an extra penny either.

Poor traction = Higher trap speeds that you would normally run.
I.E. You might trap at oh say 105 mph on Street tires. On slicks, your trap speed would actually Decrease. ET would be better, but your trap would decrease.
For 275whp, car should be over 100mph trap.

ya rythmn is correct, with slicks ur trap decreases, its weird i used to think the same thing fantastic, but 275whp on a mustang.. that should easily be over 100 mph as bolt on gtis with 250whp dynojet get over 100 :o wats ur 60? could be ur launch

Follow http://www.cardomain.com/ride/3175875 and it'll take you to my cardomain page for tons of pics. The specs are roughly 275 whp on a mustang dyno at CFT @ 9 psi. Not really an aggressive tune either. No traction on the track so my 1/4 times suck. Very close to 100 mph trap speed though.
I should note for him.. his 1/4 mile times were not on the cft tune!
And again i will vouge on behaf of CFT ( Central Florida Turbos) On there great work! They are one of the few shops i would trust touching my car!
My vouage with them started out from simply buying a replacment wideband sensor for my car, after one purchase they acted like i was a lifetime customer! Calling me seeing if i was going to the track.. Helping me at the track.. Staging me in the lanes.. Never once had a sales pitch.
I then contacted them to inquire about tunning and after a great price on tuning i went over! From the beggining of the tuning sesion i knew these guys were on top of there game!
I had put down 330 at 9 psi and 362 at 14. So After seeing how great the dyno tune was before paying they told me to take the car for a drive and come back..
Idle was perfect, Cruising was perfect, Under boost was instant death for my falken azenis 225-40-18s as they screamed for there life through 1-3 gear!
And follow up track runs with these guys from that point has been amazing!
They guided me into a 12.4 @ 112
And have since built my motor!
I will be retuning soon and can not wait for this experience!
Thanks to OMAR TECH at CFT!
I think my friend the OP here has one of the nicest running fic cars out there!

I've seen there cars in person pretty nasty machines. CFT are on par with Titan Motorsports who is in the same area. I talked with elevation about Omar doing his tune and said he know's his stuff great tuner. I'm definitely going to CFT in october when I get my kit and hope to put down good numbers with low humidity and cooler temperatures. With Elevation and Ranger both qiving good reviews there's no doubt CFT is the place to go for if your boosted and live in central florida.

The best thing about Omar is he is extremely patient with the customers desires. Elevation is a speed freak (like us all) and cares mostly about blowing doors off of Vipers and the like (can't blame him), but I on the other hand just wanted to pep up the TC to a point that is entirely reliable and very street safe. I'm not out to run 11's...ahem Mike lol.... but I do want my car to be as fast as it looks
The fact that Omar can accomplish both of those while still keeping both cars performing "exactly as the customer expected" says something worth remembering when tune time comes around. And no, I did not get paid to say that! lol Which reminds me, I need to get a CFT sticker for under the hood... have any laying around Elevation?

What kit are you going to get? I would love to see a PTuning kit throw down 300 here in sticky Florida. If I could go back in time and money, I would have bought a PTuning kit myself. Sooo clean under the hood

They dont give stickers to wussys! maybe if u turn up the boost to say 14 pounds!
JK JKYea.. i have some plus they do as well! What color u looking for? ill hold the stickers ransom at my house so ull have to come to o town to get em!
Glad everything worked out for you man! Looking at ur fic map and looking at other so called tuners FIC maps... its a joke! The smoothing on omars map is insane!

I can't go 14 psi without an MBC. I'll go 10 psi soon because I'm at 9 now. I was looking for a red one and two black ones. I meant to grab some before I left last time but it had just started to downpour right after my test drive and I wasn't going to get soaked over a few stickers lol.
If you come to my area, you had better pay the sticker toll or else I'll send the local Po-Po's after you!
