I guarantee you that it will take you years and years and years to outdrive the car to the point you need boost, but you sound like you're closer to the "OMG I TOTALLY NEED BOOST OR ELSE THIS CAR IS UNDRIVABLE BECAUSE MATT FARRAH AND TJ HUNT TOLD ME IT NEEDS TURBOS AND SUPERCHARGERS" end of the spectrum
While I agree with you about people learning to drive the car better, that mostly refers to tracking the car. There is not many places you will drive on the street that it will apply. I honestly believe as in my case the F/I is being done mostly for street racing. As bad as that sounds, that is where most racing is being done. In the US its red light to red light and as many people point out this car was not made for that. Until you add F/I that is. Then you get the best of both worlds. At least thats what I have read. There is just something that does not sit right about a v6 mustang blowing my doors off from a stop light. Not that I condone or do any kind of street racing.
