I 've heared that since the new pavement/black top it is actually a good prep track now! I'll get back up there soon enough as soon as I get my tires and wheels and hit off that mid 11 sec run also.. My mph is there 118-120. just can't hook for **** on the factory 235's

Manual. And yes slicks are not stock but everything else from the ait filter to the axle backs is. And for the other guys comment No I don't have a video nor do I have some one else's time slip. Furthermore video or a time skip wouldn't prove anymore than my word. I could show you a time slip from a sport bike and tell you it was a miata and you wouldn't know any different. But Evolution performance did the same thing. You can watch there vid since you want to assume I am untrust worthy.

they are all basically the same for n/a tunes. Part of being a SCT tuner is sharing what you learn. SCT and FORD have a relationship not much unlike the STEEDA and FORD deal. I know that some of the scaling and maps that get played with under boosted applications are generally specific to the tuner and he way he chooses to do his math. but everything else is pretty cookie cutter across the board.

I know a BOSS has gone 11.5 with tires only. The fastest GT i have ever read about is 12.1 @ 114.

Just so I get it right there is no tune on this car that ran an 11.90? factory tune and slicks it ran 11.90? Thats what I dont believe. I think I have threads and or posts mixed up

And I dont believe people I dont know with out some sort of proof. like car running in a video. To easy to lie. I am sure you are probably telling the truth. With a -300DA I might be able to swallow it with a factory tune.

The car isn't even a full bolt on car at this point, I am playing around with fabbing up a set of side exits off the LT's so it is a factory exhaust manifold, BBR off road x, factory pipe and roush A/B's mind you.

Next will be suspension and look for mid 11's.

The new tune is Bama's "hybrid" tune that they just released. Very please with the tune, can use some revision but without a doubt it pulls harder then my "race" tune did IMO. Some tweaks and I will be set.
slostang,

Very impressive times! That's definitely some good driving, if you cut that 60ft down a bit you can definitely drop a few tenths. I'm glad to hear you're enjoying the hybrid tune, that's my personal favorite tune as well. I've had a chance to take out all of our project cars and the 13' GT with the Hybrid tune definitely halls the mail!

I'd be happy to clear up what the "Hybrid Tune" is since there seems to be a lot of confusion. This tune has the low end grunt of the street tune, the mid range of the performance tune and the all out power up top of the race tune! This and the Ghost Cam tune are both included in our free tunes for life program. So if any of you are members and would like access to this file just give the Bama team a call and they'll hook you up! Our Bama Performance tuning specialists are here in the building Monday-Friday from 9AM-5:30PM EST and Saturday 9AM-5:30PM EST. You can hit them up directly at 888.226.9764.

I hope this helps, let me know if you have any questions!

-Dan

+1...
...I honestly don't have any reason to think these guys are lying or not but extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof.

Someone can do the math here but I don't think that a stock Mustang GT with slicks, especially a stick shift car, is capable of running in the 11s (nevermind 11.5!)....and likewise, I don't think a stock tire car with a couple of bolt ons and a tune would run 11.9

Auto with slicks and a tune, 11.9...in good conditions?...yeah, ok.

I have a GoPro video of it, I have nothing to hide. Its an 11.96 for Christ sake. BFG D/R, JLT Carbon, Factory headers, BBR catless mid pipe, Factory 2.75" exhasut, Roush A/B's, Barton shifter, Bama tuned, stock suspetion in great air. That's the slip right there, think I photoshopped it? I can't figure out why you go back to the "maybe in a auto"...

No, again...car is FAR from stock and is also tuned. I even stated in my title that the car was tuned....

I need suspension, fresh DR's and I think a 11.6-11.8 would be there on a 1.6-1.7 60'. You guys should of come to Cecil lastnight, air was great and the track was prepped.

11.96 at 115 flat in 65 degree weather at sea level atmosphere. Fayetville Motorsports park. on 26" micket tompson. slicks i think there are 10" wide. he has made a couple 11.98 and 11.99 passes. with a 1.6 60ft time. ill be there again this sunday still trying to get mine in the 11s. my best is a 12.4 at 115.8 on 255 all seasons. and i am modded(long tubes and cai and tune). and what would a video prove besides you see a mustang run a 11.9?? not like im going to do a full walk around, put the car on a lift and do a NHRA style inspection on it. we've all seen bone stock 5.0 run 12.6 with pro drivers. anyone that thinks the slicks wouldnt shave off that .6 and change is crazy.

Assuming an ideal launch, it looks like you'd need ~450whp to make a 11.9 1/4 mile with a stock (full weight) car and a light driver (~3800lbs).

Look, I have nothing to hide, HP is one variable in 1000 to a 1/4 time. Cars making that same 450rwhp are going 10's. You are more then welcome to come to Cecil and watch. I'll even be nice and show you how to drive yours when I am done

More or less the same, minus wheels, tires and suspention...hence the 11.7 pass.


11.7 at the same MPH

11.3 at 119MPH on a car 1000LBS more

10.4 at 119mph

See the points I am making here?
