Why not spend around $400 to get a hand held tuner to really wake your car up. Installing the tune is a breeze and whoever does the dyno for you could do this. I'm guessing you'll be adding around 20 or so horsepower. It takes around 20 minutes to save your stock tune, then install the new tune. Actually the 5.0 Mustang platform is a great platform for performance parts. I always used

I had a 2013 auto Mustang GT and was able to run 12.7's right off the showroom floor. With some minor bolt on options, I was able to hit high 11's. This is the quarter mile.
I'm not sure if your car has a warranty, however this tune could terminate your drive train (engine, transmission, rear end) warranty.
Is your car auto or manual?
Here is what I would suggest for a pure stock Mustang. The Bama tune is pretty safe and simple and they will give you a choice of 87, 91, and 93 octane tunes. The customer service of American Muscle, Bama, and Diablo is great and very helpful. Naturally the 93 tune is the most aggressive, however you really need to use 93 octane gas with this tune. Since I drive a GM, I've studied up on the diablo tuner, and according to the people of diablo, the tune is untraceable, however I can't personally vouch for this.
