Its obvious you don't understand how much these tuners do, they change the octane deactivate the oxygen sensor. The corvette we had which was a 2003 had 350 horses at the begining and just after we changed the airbox and put a K&N filter on it and put the diablo predator tune on it, we took it to our local dyno and it registered at 407.3 horsepower which is more than the z06 of that years model and it only costed around $600.
Believe it or not I know exactly what tuners do, I personally tuned a 1.8l Turbo Miata with my father. He drove and I tuned while he drove, using a Haltec ECU and a Dell D500 laptop.
I wasnt trying to argue w/ you, all's im trying to say is that I've known plenty of properly tuned and moded cars with 1.6-1.8 liter motors that can easily beat tuned mustangs. Thats all I'm saying, but like I said before(i cant believe im quoting myself)

But a tune on a 160hp engine is only going to get it to like 180, he is going to have to have some form of power adder to make up the other 100 hp (N2O or forced induction).
And a tune on your mustang is not going to give you 40 hp especially a hand held tuner box, a real tune is with a data cable and a laptop where you tune it for your exact car and your mods, neither did it do that to the vette (the LS1 vettes are under rated on hp), at tune will give you like 20hp on a stock car, where a tune really helps is when you do major mods. On my old camaro I did a cam swap, roller rockers, and valve/head work, put some larger injectors on it, did a tune and gained ~125hp.
Trust me, his mustang is around a 14 second car, maybe high 13s with good tires and a good hook. Same as my 95 camaro when it was stock with 275hp/330torque. When it was 425hp it would run high 12's and with 600hp it would run low 12s (on street tires, on slicks more like 11.2s were possible). But it goes to show you once you hit the 13s and 12s it is very hard to get lower, takes 1000hp to get into 9s, 1800 to get to 7s, etc. And I dont mean 1000hp supra (they run 10-11s) I mean a 1000hp car that does not have the power curve or a chain saw.
The point is his car runs 14 flats no problem, that civic runs 16s, it will be a joke of a race, not worth the gas.
It will look like this:
