I think a lot of the people who buy Mustangs (at least the ones that are still buying them) aren't a fan of 'lectric cars.
Especially the disgrace of the Mach E.
Already covered that. Because you could get one for like $15k off. Before that it sold like crap.
From Feb 2024:
"According to caredge.com the Ford Mach E is now the slowest selling EV in US and 3rd slowest selling vehicle of any kind with a 362 market day supply on dealer lots."
You forgot the 'Brembo' caliper covers!
You can still do headers. You can still do useless stuff like an aftermarket air intake and filters.
The tune is a lot more agressive than before so a 93 tune isn't going to do a lot. Not that it did a ton on the S550.
The big thing is you can't run E85...
Mustang buyers didn't flock to electric cars. Plus, the Mach E sold like trash until last year (because Ford pushed huge discounts, it still sells far worse than any Tesla model)
Does anyone have the current recommendation from ford? Don't see it in the owners manual
There this online but it's very vague and relates to the whole car not specifically the engine
Probably worth reading what some engine builders and piston manufacturers say about break-in

The idea with E30 is that the factory trims will adjust up to that point, and it should add timing eventually (assuming you aren't running out of fuel pump)
The caveat is how do you know if you are actually at E30
I remember in the older days the V6 model sold quite a bit more than the V8, but I remember also reading that in recent years it was closer to 50/50
Now, looking at Cars.com and searching the whole country for 2024/2025's that are on the lots, the breakdown looks like:
Lots of leftover GT's...
They claim 178, so not a couple hundred lbs.
Plus 70 of that is the lithium ion battery and rear seat delete.
And sticking the Whipple on is going to eat all that weight savings up.
The low sales don't agree with you. And, for $73k you can get a Corvette that outclasses the DH in every way.
The Mustang has always been the "economy" performance car. Cars like the LX were amazing bargains.
