[qxjm76940]

I just bought my 2013 Black SHO nonPP a couple of months ago in April.It is a Ford Certified so I didn't do anything other than the LMS 93 tune,didn't change thermostat,same plugs,no exhaust,no CAI and 2bar map because I didn't wan't to change thermo+3bar if I needed to take in for service. Anyway it was a nice night last night and Wednesdays Ladies get in free.So me and my Wife decided to go to Great Lakes Dragaway Union Grove WI just to see what it would run.I did bring my helmet just in case I got into the 13's didn't know for sure especially with my wife wanting to be in the passenger seat.I didn't check tire pressure and I had 3/4 tank of 93 gas.We'll I can say is,I was shocked my first run with my wife in passenger seat I ran a 12.964 103.96!! Thank goodness I brought a helmet.So I let her cool down and ran it again, 12.896 107.51!!Wow.So, I go one more time 12.883 107.24. Awesome.I also have a cheepo dash cam is there a way a can post the runs from my dash cam?

Welcome to the community, qxjm, great to have you and your '13 SHO here!  Sub-13-second already, and the DA wasn't that low!  If you mod further to the level most do, you might be in the low 12's easy

Would like to see pics of your ride, though the timeslips are nice standins for now   You can upload to youtube, photobucket, flickr, vimeo etc. and post a link of the video(s) here.  I do believe if you are logged into your gmail account, youtube will auto log you in.

Welcome to the forum! Those are some real good times for a non-PP...Perhaps a little bit of a factory freak? The best I could muster at GLD was a 13.063 at 105.91 mph (60' ft. = 1.903). I'm going tomorrow with my newly added cat-less downpipes. I'm hoping they're good for a few tenths of a second.

Those are some pretty good 60' times.

Here are some of the youtube links. Dont mind the video from dash cam they could be better.My wife took 1 small video and photo with her IPhone5 could be better also.                 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z7qdA547fSA    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CPicY3YjHr8  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2JxtQRHzdmo      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZJ4iryUqSyY    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bnCvjSGKcok    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sED5_xkw-Es    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qZoe01nPv-Y

SHO-Time let us know how it went tonight with your cat-less downpipes.I put it in Sport and launched around 2000 rpm.

[SHOdded]

That track feel like it needs maintenance at all?  Great view of the action

[qxjm76940]

It's definitely a old track and could use some revamping.

[SHO-Time]

I'm heading to GLD tonight. I'll post up with results when I get back. As a whole GLD is not the best kept track...If you run a 13.0 at GLD, you pretty much ran a 12.8 at any other track. GLD's track prep is garbage.

[curry67]

What was your launch rpm?

[qxjm76940]

I launched at around 2000

[SHO-Time]

I went to GLD this past Friday and I'm still pretty disappointed with the results. I ran three times with all three times being 13.0XX. The best of the three runs was a flat 13.000 @ 102.85 (which is the slowest I've ever trapped in the SHO. It's typically closer to 106 mph).

60' ft. = 1.856
1/4 mile = 13.000
Trap speed = 102.65

The track prep was pathetic and there was a bunch of events going on, so I'm sure the car was heat soaked. In total, I've run my SHO six times at GLD and for the life of me, I can't get into the 12s. Very frustrating...
