Finally Broke 10's

Took awhile to get the car dialed in, the transmisson is showing signs of failing on the 3-4 shift......with half a second to 3/4 of second slipping. Only happens at WOT. PH is working on it, to determine if a new tranny is needed or if its a bug in the way the transmission gets commands from the tune. Should know more in the week to come.

Put the 75 shot on the car, cut a 1.5 60ft and despite the 3-4 shift hang, I was able to make up for it with an aggressive launch. Battery is dying on the laptop (still at FFW Norwalk) so more details to come. Here is the slip...



I'm stoked. We think the car has 10.6's in it once we work out the transmission issues. Special thanks to PH and crew for all the work they did on the car. Buckman and Navbtcret for convincing me not to fear the bottle and Ranebowcyxx and Firestang70 for providing tips on mastering the launch.

More to come for sure.

Too bad Buckman couldn't join you in breaking into the 10s. Once again, you set the example for us all Todd.

Excellent work Todd, I can't think of anyone more worthy to hit that milestone.
Your car was running great out there, and I was glad to personally witness you breaking the 10's. Good driver mod too!

A Frickin 1.5 60, unbelieveable. That blows me away almost as much as the 10 sec run

Yep, I think that is something that is overlooked in all this. The sexy number is the 10.9x final number, but the one that propelled him there was that 1.5x 60'. That is simply incredible, excellent 60' times, launching like that would be akin to being shot out of a cannon!

To put it in perspective...Car and Driver recently ran a Lambo Murcielago LP640 roadster at 11.8 in the 1/4 mi. Enough said.

Thanks AMM. Though there are some pending updates to that list, so I'm not sure where Lance and I will land on it.
