Ok I keep seeing this in posts and how with a tune it will get rid of it. My Questions are: Automatics benefit from a tune more then Standard Shifts? True? Is throttle lag a problem with Automatics only? I have not noticed it with my car I have a manual shift. How much of a performance increase will a Standard shift Mustang get from a tune in comparison to a Automatic. Ex: it has been said 20 to 30 more HP is this for just Automatics or will Standard shift get the same or less? Understanding that other things like CAI and Exhaust are the same on each car. The Biggest thing I HATE about my Standard is Ford put one of the crappiest clutches I have ever owned it chatters and ...well just sucks. When I do put a LSD in I am going to upgrade the clutch too. Thank You

autos only benefit more because you can firm up the shifts and change shift points. This doesn't mean they get more power, just more of a performance increase. Throttle lag is a little bit of an issue with manuals, but not as much as autos. A tune is worth it. You will see a solid 15-20hp from a tune.
