2 weeks ago I was wanting to go with a new tune. Contacted Beefcake and got one sent to me in 24hrs, in time to make the trip to the track. Even a few late phone calls to get the tune to load on my computer, he answered and waiting on the line with me. Determined it was my crappy computer, borrowed a buddy's and got it all sorted. Then the track was rained out! :bored:

Now the fun part, in comparision in the performance improvement....

E-mail tune from Beefcake
Bassani mufflers
SVT PP wheels and tires with drag radials in the back

Ran a best of 12.57 @ 113.76 mph w 2.071 60ft :banana:
Due to absord amount of people I only got 3 passes in 6 hrs!!!! :fm: :cuss:

The real test in power difference is the roll on racing...
My buddy has a boss and has gone with me both times to the track.
In april he was trapping at 115 mph, last friday best was 113.09 mph so you can see how the weather conditions were less then ideal. On the way home we played on the roads bit and from 3rd gear roll I started to creep away from him. In the past, he would pull me. Just from the mph and track conditions, and to roll racing, we can see the power difference over the can SCT tune.

So again a huge thank you to Beefcake and look forward to a few more modifications and a few more tunes!!

i'm glad your happy with the tune.

We do a bunch of the lund tunes, and imo the best out there.

Once you get the launch figured out, you should be able to get 11's like mike said!!!!

good times, but the track was packed that night ( i was there ). get that 60 foot down, and you'll see some low 12's / high 11's. that MPH seems low to me. My email tune from JPC/axleback/A6 car on a 18" dr went 11.79@117 at royal purple not too long ago. 1.8x 60. I would assume you should be in the 115-117 mph range.

I think the weather was terrible. Back in April, I did have a run with just the JLT/can tune/ mullfer ran 12.84 @ 114 mph, with 2.1 60ft. My buddy with the boss was runing 115-116 that night in April as well. So for him to run 113 friday really shows the crappy weather conditions. He lost 3 mph..so I'm assuming my car unchanged I would be running 110 mph... so really I feel in real comparision that I probably picked up 3 mph just from the tune, just the weather didn't help show it.
