What fuel are you running on the runs?

E20 and 93. With Racegas brand additive.
So are you running that additive all the time or a different tune for dailying?

I run a different tune daily. I have driven my race tune daily without additive, and it showed fine knock wise, I still don't trust E20 enough to run it all the time

Very impressive times for such few mods especially in that poor of DA! I wonder how those would translate near sea level or possibly negative da?

I'm also beginning to wonder if it could be a possibility with perfect air and a great 60ft time

Yeah, tune only doubtful, but with exhaust mods and decent tires/conditions I feel like its there. Would have to be a good race tune though.

You would have to do more than exhaust work, intercooler and air intake work too.  Seriously, you would be overworking the stock turbos too bad.  To help you would prob have to strip down the car into race car status.  Comes down to it, is it worth it.

I have an intake I used in good air, no real intercooler options... And I won't strip the car. It's not worth it IMO... Low 12's safely is fine for me, but always looking to go faster. lol

Lol @ "pissing match".....

My original comment was simply factual based. Since 2010, there have been only 5 total late Gen SHO's that have cracked the ever elusive 11 barrier, mine being one of those five.....

And I assure you, it took/takes a hellva lot of work to get it there.

Although a "tune only" 11 car would be nice, and an impressive feat for sure, like I said very simply..... doubtful.

That shouldn't be construed as don't try, hell more powahhhh to ya! Just being realistic is all.

My comment was not meant to be negative, you need to realize where I came from, and how I am now trying to just lay low and do my thing. Sick of pissing matches, and the such. I know for sure with meth I could get to the 11's. But not interested in that.

And I have videos of my runs, just not easy to see the board afterwards, as my brother had never been to the track before.

The one issue that is not addressed that meth injection DOES address is carboning.  So if not going meth injection route, plan on regular GDI induction cleaning services to keep those problems at bay.  BG & Valvoline among others have products/services specifically for this.

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!

I am GSM at a Ford dealership, and we do use BG products. I just keep getting mixed answers on using these services with turbo cars...?

Not an issue if you treat as regular maintenance.  Only when you let the issue lapse for enough time to really let the carbon collect.  So, for initial service, verify the acceptable condition with a borescope.  Then proceed with a regular schedule of induction cleaning as a prevention process.  Probably not a good idea if you've got 30K or more on the engine already.  At that point, whatever method you use should not involve operating the engine (walnut shell blasting, chemical soak with brush agitation, etc).

I have 15K on it now. Putting in plugs and Amsoil tomorrow. Serviced the PTU yesterday. So maybe I will do that service right away as well?

No time like the present.  If you can, please post pics from a borescope for us to evaluate & learn as well.
