My MKS went from 13.8 in the quarter when stock to 12.68 tuned

Teach me Obi-Wan Kenobi.  I'm driving a 2014 MKS and stock my best time was 14.3 @ 98.  I'm running a 3 bar, 93 octane tune now, and got down to 13.0 @ 105.  Running 12.68 with nothing but a tune seems abnormally fast for an MKS. 
Every track in every state can have different results

I honestly don't think this can be stressed enough.
My car bone stock runs 12.1 while spinning on the stock street tires here in michigan but i know other states are stuck mid 12s at best on street tires

Bone stock and 12.1? You have the fastest SHO on the planet or even if you meant a tune only then you still have the fastest SHO tune only, congrats! You would make Meth people cry
The SHO that i said i had i gave to my mother because she needed a new car, so now she has that car and i got myself a scat pack challenger

I have seriously considered it at times! Even had a quote for a dyno tune.. but was told it probably wasn't worth the money for minimal gain and that your remote tunes are pretty dialed in. That was straight from Anthony or Dan I can't remember...  Its not a short drive plus hotel and time off etc.. its a commitment.

Of course LMS could come to the east coast too! Lots of SHO's this way.. PA specifically.

Yeah all of our can tune files are all really dialed in because of how many we have actually done, and its hard for us to trailer all of our cars over to PA but who knows, maybe in the future it could happen

An opportunity I spoke directly with Dan about previously. Specifically making it a point to bring out all the crew to the HUGE, well attended, Ford National's in Carlisle, PA.

2017 saw in excess of 3,300 individual Ford cars, from all different platforms.

To not attend, is absolutely absurd. Especially for such a big company as LMS. Plenty of other vendor's were in attendance. I know Dave and someone else made a "courtesy pit stop" as they only happen to be in the area performing a vehicle delivery. But a pit stop, versus an all out commitment from the company overall, are two vastly different paradigms.

It could be done, and certainly should be something being discussed for calendar year 2018, when deciding which events to attend.

I will gladly let everyone know and see what we can do about this in the upcoming year

I need to move to Michigan.  Cody, if a stock scat pack Challenger can run 12.1, the track must either be less than a quarter mile or seriously downhill. 

At Brainerd, MN or Rock Falls, WI, they are mid to high 12 second cars.

What he said x2 ^^^^^^^^ Scats run mid 12's at best here in VA...  Would be cool to have a timeslip that is .4 faster just due to location!!!!

That was at 0 DA with a negative DA and if i could stop spinning this car could do crazy things with me behind the wheel

All kidding aside, bpd does talk frankly with/about LME.  He holds vendors to the same exacting standards he holds himself.  Much like being a fan of a football team :).  You support them 100%, but you call them out when you see area for improvement.  Hence the many times I lost my voice cursing out the Skins, LOL!

We are all in this together, when it comes down to it.

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!

Very true.

That said, my comment as displayed a few posts back, stated not attending is absurd.

Poking the bear though for sure. I know Dan told me the amount it cost for a vendor spot at the National's..... so I get it.

But as I tried to convince him, 3,300+ cars! My God. I mean really? Certainly there's a great opportunity to recoup the costs, as well as continuing to foster long term relations, as well as building new ones.

So fingers crossed!

I have an 18 scat pack lol

Came out very misleading...So you are talking about your Poop pack fiat?...Sounded like you meant a bone stock SHO ran that time

Apparently "scat" means poop....We aren't really concerned with Dodge/Fiat here in this place.
