Was able to get my tune done just in time while I was sitting in the pits.  Would like to that Erick at LET for really helping me out there.  Car is stock other than magnaflow mufflers and an LET Race Tune that I was running last night with 108 unleaded.
First Pass:
13.11@107.75
2.14 60' (bad launch on my part, didn't rev high enough)

2nd Pass:
13.05@107.1
2.05 60' (launched around 2k)

3rd and best Pass:
13.035@107.3
2.03 60' (launched at 2500)

Really happy with the car, I'm sure we could get into the 12's once I have time to do some datalog runs for Erick.  Really impressed with the initial tune though.  Stock I'm pretty sure I would have been around a 14.2@99ish. Elevation here is about 1100 and the temps were in the low 70's high 60's.  Everyone loved the car too, I was getting a lot more attention than I thought. Ran a new challenger r/t on the last run and he pulled off a 14.66
13 SHO~ stock for now but not for long....
92 Typhoon~not stock and never enough

Great times for AZ, get that 60' down. Maybe hit up Jacob and see if he'll let you borrow his track pack while his car is down, that would be good for .2 at least.

I've got another 5 gallons of race gas so I want to go back soon to try for those 12's. Didn't check what the DA was last night.  Temps were probably high 60's by the time of the 3rd run

Nice times :thumb:
2007 Ford Edge SEL, Powerstop F/R Brake Kit, TXT LED 6000K Lo & Hi Beams, W16W LED Reverse Bulbs, 3BSpec 2.5w Map Lights, 5W Cree rear dome lights, 5W Cree cargo light, DTBL LED Taillights

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

Solid times.  As others have mentioned, there is room for improvement with the 60 foot times.  Were you getting much wheelspin when launching?

Good to see another SHO make an appearance at wild horse.. I am always the only one. The car gets a TON of attention and surprises eveyone. Your 60' can be a whole lot better. Rubber does matter. :) I should be back up in a couple months.. You should talk to the guys a BMR if your interested in adding some power OR if you want to get a solid tune off there dyno. I do recommend Torrie but I am sure Erik can get you in the 12s.

Good luck!

I want to get Erick a log of the car with the race gas so he has a chance to play with it before I go back again.  I was working my way up with the launch, first was 1500 then 2100 finally 2500.  times got better and better.  Wasn't spinning to bad, track prep was pretty good.

What was the temp and DA? Definitely good times.

DragTimes.com shows DA that night ~2400 ft. Not horrible, but not that good either!

OP should easily hit high 12's with better air.

If we're REALLY lucky we'll get around 800'  DA here in December/January around midnight. :)
Most times around 4K DA at the track.

If you flashed the tune at the track, that could be a couple tenths right there.

I've ran multiple runs, then flashed tune to see if it'd give me a better time without the adaptives calming down the shift points...backfired. Car felt faster with harder shifting, but netted me times that were 2 tenths slower.

I find it best to flash tune a couple days prior and train it with some aggressive driving.

Good luck
