Could you, maybe, post the results? Or has it not been on a dyno yet?
I was not attempting to imply it was similar to a fart can. I've had several tuned cars, and I know what they are capable of. Had a tuned 99 Mustang that was better in every way, had a Tuned 97 Thunderbird with a PI Swap that was also excellent. I only ask because I am curious about the actual, at the wheel gains as well as what the curve looks like. I am still looking to buy a Fusion Sport (or a 3.0 equipped MKZ), and plan on getting a tune. I want to see the quantifiable results, not just seat of pants.No, it has not been dynoed, and I doubt that I will. The difference along the lines of my 03 Cobra, before and after the pully & tune respectively. This is not some kid putting a fart can muffler on his Honda.
I trapped 108 with 93 tune only in good air. Lets say the mags trap speeds in original testing average out to about 101.I was not attempting to imply it was similar to a fart can.

I’ve hit 1.76 60’ as a personal best (PB). That didn’t correlate to better 1/4 mile times though… Car over compensated in the 2-3 shift & everything downstream from there slowed down…I’m going to start an argument no doubt, but I’m skeptical that these cars can achieve 1.6xx, or even mid/low 1.7 60ft. I’ve run 12.30s at ~112mph with 1.80xx 60ft times. I’ve also run 1.78xx 60ft at 12.48xx at ~110mph. That’s with a 2500 rpm launch, and chirping tires on a prepped track. I’ve experimented with up to 3000 rpm launches and at worst, it’s spun tires, thrown a CEL and cut fuel. Since we can’t warm up our tires with a burnout, I’m not sure what type of tire would be sticky enough to keep wheel spin out of the equation. Maybe those ultra-expensive Michelins like AMG Mercedes come with, but good luck finding the correct size. Carving two tenths out of the 60ft is much harder that two tenths out of the ET. It takes improvements to transmission, chassis, and tires to improve 60ft beyond what’s “natural” for the cars abilities, whereas just adding horsepower can get you ET improvements. I see plenty 1.80 60ft street cars making sub-11 runs. because they can’t manage wheel spin. 60ft is only a single factor in many that contribute to breaking 11s and it’s already reaching peak with the currently available mods on the market. IMO It’s going to take a driveline modification to get 1.6-1.7 and we all better be waiting with a big bag of Oil-Dri, magnets and brooms.
Ok…Hit me with it…
