Nice. Looks like you put a bus on that mustang.

James rakes?

You're 60' numbers are pretty wicked.

Yes James rakes

Thank you. That's on all stock suspension with only YYZ springs.

Next time out I will have drag bags and will be launching a bit higher.

Why can't my times be this fast? :(

Lol get a new tuner. Not bashing, just a warning. Nice Runs btw

Because you are an amateur and you suck at driving!

that's why you kill everyone when doing pulls from a roll but can't launch worth a damn.

For real though..........

i had my buddy jason hererra (stoopidfast) ask to see my logs, keep in mind he tunes alot of big power cars that hold records out of houston texas. he said the tune is perfect and everything is where it is supposed to be.

i KNOW that there is nothing wrong with my tune from james. soo carry on and post a timeslip and video of your stock turbo car running similar times that i currently am, full interior with a 260lb fat boy driver..... lol

Like i said. Wasnt bashing, just a heads up. Its not like css just dislikes rakes. We all know to stay away from him because weve had our tuners tell us how shitty logs of his tunes look. Im assuming your buddy has tuned plenty of lnfs?

Yes he has tuned a handful of them, all which have been on the same setups for over 5 years with no problems. I'm not tuned by him because I don't want to drive 5 hours to Houston to get tuned.

I understand what y'all are saying, but when it comes to tuning advice , I'd take advice and input from my buddy Jason who has tuned countless amounts of 1000+hp cars anything from a 4 cylinder up to several tt lambo's, vipers, etc using just about any tuning software you can imagine. so tuning an LNF isn't anything special to him.


With that being said , after looking at the file that James sent me and going over data logs while I was at tx2k at his shop , he said that the tune looks awesome and he wouldn't change a thing .

Alright good for you then. Its about time rakes figured it out.

yup.

Excellent runs man! I'd like to look into the DA. What track, date and time did this happen?

If I'm not solidly in the 12's this year I'm getting slicks next year. Would love to be sub 2.0 on a 60ft. Nice runs

This was no problem raceway in donaldsonville louisiana

How do you like those slicks?

With your zfr they would be killer. I've also heard the Hoosier drag radials are pretty nice also. The ones with just grooves, so not rain friendly.

If I get anything it'd be a full blown slick. No need for a radial when I'd only be using them for the quarter mile. I've read a lot of guys from other forums saying they actually found the new 17" slick to be more beneficial over going with the 15" m&h slick. How that can be, I have no idea but would be interested in trying them. At $210 a tire and $100 for 2 17" wheels. Could have a decent drag set up for $550.

That would be the best for you as drag radials wouldn't hold that zfr. I have also heard good things about the 17's. I'm sure on a high hp car they wouldn't be quite as forgiving as 15" but at least this way you don't have to swap brakes.

The best tire for YOUR car is just that. Weight, gearing, and final drive ratio will affect your results with a given tire. It could also be the way the tire fits. When I spoke with the owner of M&H a couple months ago, he said the sfwd guys are having better results with wider wheels so the tire doesn't bulge out as much on the sidewall. I have 24.5x15x8. 5 slicks going on in couple weeks. He told me I should run at least a 8" wheel. Unfortunately nobody on earth makes a 15x8 wheel with 5x110 pattern. More sizes available in 17" wheels

Don't you love the wheel thing. I was going to try and find some 8.5-9 wheels for my radials as I'm not getting all the tread to the pavement that I can but unless I want to spend $200 a rim ( which I don't) I'm out of luck past 17x8. I'm gonna get a couple of those instead as that should give me about .6 more tread on both tires verses the 7.5 they are mounted on now. Not a fan of a 9" tread tire on a 7.5 rim. 245-45-17.

Yea, your gonna want at least an 8" wheel for 245/45/17. That tire should come out to 9.6ish inches wide on 8" wheel.
