brand new spark plugs, my friend put on the exhaust system he knew what he was doing he has been working on domestics for the last 5 years. and no black smoke when it lags, i started getting this problem ever since i got the gear ratio changed

I highly doubt the gears have anything to do with it. A tuner just makes sure your speedometer is correct. What does the exhaust system consist of? Do you still have cats? How much mileage is on your car? Fuel filter been changed lately? When the gears were done, was the diff rebuilt?

A mustang has 4 o2's. Only the upstream o2's effect fuel mixture.

Why wasn't the diff rebuilt? I have a 2000, 4.10's, a or/ prochamber and no tuner. I don't have a problem. So I would take 91 hatch's advice, and get a fuel pressure gauge. You could have a failing fuel pump.
