When you mash the pedal, from a stop, do the tires chirp when shifting from 1 to 2?

Steve, not all cars with a tune can do so. Mine does it rarely. What is your idle in Park? If it's below 800 then no you don't have a tune. I thought my car had a tune when I bought it, but it didn't, I think I just had a "freak" MM. Trust me, get a tune.
 
Yes, a tune would take out the speed limiter. But I remember I started a thread when I first got the car, because I was on the highway and my speedometer showed 127mph, and it was bone stock at the time.
 
ok i guess i shoulda typed that better but i was askin if any tunes didnt get rid of the top speed limiter because it dosent go past 125. not that thats a big deal only did it to test it out.

im not quite sure what my idle is i belive it might be any where from 500-800 ill check tom
 
Do you have a handheld tuner or a flip chip? If not take the car to a shop that specializes in tuning Mustangs. They should be able to look at your tune and tell if it's the stock one or not. What the car idles at or shifts at is no indication of weather or not it's got a non-stock tune. Most tuners will take out the top speed limiter if you ask.

No one really attempted to field the exact question did they? :P

"I was wondering if any of the tunes do not eliminate the top speed limiter?"

Yes.
Keeping it vague.

So... you don't know what your car has.....

Take it to a shop that specializes in tuning Mustangs. They should be able to tell you if the car has the stock tune or not.

Let me repeat that....
