with some editing you could make that a fast run

not fast

In an effort to make the 120+ people browsing the photo forums... Happy!

I have taken the liberty to muster up an adjusted image that takes into account all the possible combinations of excuses people usually claim to make themselves look good in front of other... whats the right word here, oh yea couch potatoes. lol

So here the following ET has been corrected for but not limited to: track conditions, car not brocken into, driver not used to car, driver posing for pictures, weather, bunch of whinning people on the Internets making unrealistic assumptions, etc.

tada:

LOL



In case you didn't get it, this was done for Fun not to make any excuses for the car's performance. To answer someone's question above I believe Marlon said he has around 500 miles on this bad boy. I love that car!

Well, if under 500 miles, here's a little something interesting that the Ford Tech's in my area were filled in on by Ford and also something that they have noticed when they've driven these cars. The computer is set up so that the engine doesn't see full boost till after it hits the 500 mile mark. It's done to prevent the engine from seeing too much abuse during it's initial break in period. I was told that in this break in period they're only seeing somewhere around 325hp. As to how true this is, can't be certain, but figured I'd throw it out there.

edit....

I did not realize that this was at raceway park. I re-read the posts, and realize that someone else posted about the 6000ft of d/a

 

[F8LSNAKE]

True, but I bet Raceway Park has never seen a 6000 alt. day in its existance.

Was wondering if anyone got any pics of my silver anniversary running 11.4-11.5 that day?

 

[03ShadowCobra]

wow that would be a great race against my jeep.

I know Andy did.

I only shot like three cars, main one being the shelby pix above.

The rest of the time I spend in the staging lanes.

Everybody seems to forget about the altitude here in Denver. 6000ft you are loosing 30% power on N/A engine. S/C engines loose a bit less, however, my last dyno had adjustment of 21%. We loose about 3 psi of boost at that altitude. I don't even want to go on the drag strip here.
His time of 13.4 would actually be about 12.4 at the sea level, not bad....

that car was run in NJ, raceway park is damn close to sea level. Where is this altitude thing coming from? So actually that 13.4 sux. I'm sure the car has far more in it than that. With plastic still on the seats I'm sure the owner wasn't going for it all on that run.
