I had my tuner, Andre, do the run for me so I could get it on camera. I also had him make the run so he could help determine some better shift points.

He eased into the throttle (since the tired break loose very easily from 1st-3rd) and the tranny shifted too fast from 2nd to 3rd. However we ended up with some decent times.

60' ..... 1.999
1/4 ..... 12.572
MPH ..... 111.18

[attachmentid=32015]

It got a little late so I had to leave, kids were tired. However, I am now looking for some slicks and cheap blacked-out wheels to get the power to the ground. I have my 10# pulley ready to go on and will soon have the LFP throttle body. That with some slicks, should help get me into the 11.75-11.90 area

If anyone is intrested, I do have a video of the run, in 3 sizes. (Yes I am **** retentitive - but I think most of you might have realized that by now).

Enjoy!

well that answers my question. Only way I'll see mid 12's is with a supercharger, which will never happen for me

Those time seem a little slow for a supercharger. That's a lot of money for only 1 second faster in the 1/4 mile. Then again, I'm sure it would do much better with better tires.

That was sweet Once you have some sticky tires on, I'm sure you will be deep in the 11s. I don't know Bryan, that was like letting Andre take your wife out on a date though Did Andre get to tune any of those LFP tb this weekend??Great job!!!

Yes, it needs sticky tires to get to the 11's. However, with th enew pulley, coming soon, and the tires, I hope to hit mid 11's

As far as Andre, he did not get to tune an TB this past weekend. Madhouse is supposed to next week. As soon as I know, I will update you guys. I will see if I can get madhouse to post something in this thread to update us on it.

Beautiful run, Bryan! I agree with Dennis - tires will get you into the 11s easily.

Great run Bryan! Once those tires come in, you'll really be able to let loose. Do you have LCA's installed? Are you thinking of flywheel and clutch upgrades?

I've love your car man! I wish I could hear that thing fly down the track in person!

no LCA's at this time. But I have never had issues with hop, just tire spind with the 4:10's and the S/C. As for the clutch, I have an Auto tranny - and I am considering a new 2800-3000 stall converter.

That run has a lot of potential, I am sure as others have posted that you can break 11.50. Unfortunately this is a roadblock for me because I refuse to put a child seat in a car with a full rollcage as NHRA dictates must happen 11.50 and quicker. I might consider going faster than that after my kids can get in and out of the back seat on their own. Anyway, I think your car looks/sounds/runs great. Are you running an X1 or X2? What injectors are you using and have you made dyno runs with A/F ratios after the S/C install?

I have the 10# proCharger kit. It has a fuel pump booster and 39# injectors. I have a 2 hour dyno when I first got the 8# pulley installed. It started at a 10:1 A/F with the basic tune from SCT. However, when all was done, we eneded up witha a smooth 12.1:1 A/F.

Not bad Bryan, as others have said mid 11's are in sight.
So did you make any runs down the track or did Andre do all of them?
Andre also updated my tune Saturday and let me tell you the shifts really hit now!
It must be hard to keep from stomping it with that SC on.
I can't wait for the TB's to come and be tested.

See ya soon Bro.

Brian - first off, awesome run man. 12.5 is no slouch when you roll into the throttle at the line like that. You would've seen an 11 with slicks and a hard launch, no doubt.

I haven't seen a throttle body yet, but I'm hoping soon. Andre and I live 5 miles from each other and Hennessey is 2 miles from my house, so believe me, when it gets here we won't wait to get it done.

Also, my Saleen supercharger should be here in 2-3 weeks, so I was thinking about doing before/after dynos with the throttle body, both N/A and blown. That should give all you guys a good idea on the gains.

Again, awesome run Brian - your car is doing very well !!!

:worship:
