It should equate to low 12's but I still need the 1/4 timeslip.

A full second ahead of the 2015 Camaro SS!!!

I've been wanting to track my car again. Last time I was there tho the transmission blew up lol. Also, been trying to justify the expense of buying new tuner and letting brad dial it in.

But the Fontana and Pomona tracks have open days/nights. Fontana schedule not pulling up now, but I too prefer the 1/4 run. Irwindale is hard on the brakes!

Great run especially at that weight. To give you a comparison my car runs 7.95-8.05 in the 1/8 mile. But I'm only going 87-88mph. So I'd say that's good for a 12.3-12.4 there.

The Flex is like driving a brick wall... not very aerodynamic!!!

Now I need to start losing weight to break into the 11's

I'm not sure...I'd like to see what you do on the big end right now..the atp turbos at your boost should be flowing pretty well so the horsepower might be pulling it pretty well

Correct me if I'm wrong...I think you would be the first to hit an 11 with a Flex. Not sure what Mike @EPP has accomplished for a quarter mile time with his Flex.

AFAIK that is the max with this Flex, then the drivetrain said HECK NO!
