The F150 is setup so much better. So many differences for the better we share the same Engine description but that’s about it.
It’s not easy to go 11.0 and tens will definitely come. It’s a matter of time. WR is just a mod. Idk why it matters really, until there’s a weight class, it’s 100% irrelevant. 12.0 tune only who is this? Stock everything, stock intake, spark plugs, literally nothing done but a tune and who is running 12.0?
GH trying to do something. Well there’s also………wait, there’s literally nobody else. Knock the only guys trying? Struggling to make sense of that. Knock the guys not doing $hit….that resonates.
11.0 full weight? who is this? It would actually be extremely easy with nitrous, but who's actually done it?
I did 12.32 on literally my first attempt, heat soaked to all **** (IAT2 was 130
at it's lowest) with 500 treadwear A/S Kenda's at full pressure straight off the street. Oh BTW I choose to run stock boost below 3000 RPM so I don't even have all the rod twisting torque potential at launch you guys do. Yes I had colder
OEM plugs and thermostat but that is it. If you think those are performance mods and not a tuning parameter then OOHHHH I guess ya got me!!!.
IIRC an Ortiz car has allegedly gone 12.3x tune only, and I think SSI has claimed like 12.28 tune only. Given the ease and repeatability of my results, as a first time tuner on my first tree in this car, I see no reason to doubt the validity of the others. But if either had a CAI then go ahead and dismiss them.
Show me a full weight pass faster than 11.28. If you think any of the above examples wouldn't be <=12.0 with 300-400 lbs taken out, or that you wouldn't be 11.3+ at full weight, I'd love to hear that argument articulated. WR is very germane here. Just because the vast majority of SHO owners don't have the desperation to convert their comfortable sedan into a joke of a "race car", doesn't mean it gets dismissed from the equation when trying to make an intelligent comparison on what FBO +P+ actually nets you. And I'm sorry but if "spark plug heat range is a mod", then "you don't hold a SHO record because you haven't actually dragged an entire SHO" also applies. I think we're both more rational than that.
Adolf ****** fought to end racism. I guess we're not allowed to knock his method then since he was trying to do something? ATP turbos were already on the market and proven to support >600 hp while moving the power band in the proper direction. With a little disinformation campaign from a couple influencers, GH took what little market share there was, and the superior product discontinued. Now all we have for easy upgrades are turbos that stran.gle this engine to death just for the sake of dyno torque bragging rights at RPM too low to have any useful benefit on the road or track. Luckily I know another option or two has recently emerged, so there's some hope moving forward on that front.
That's all old news for you, though. Once you have that real induction system up and running the silly micro record competition is going to be over for a long time. I expect a swift 10.50 and then 10.0 on the horizon!
