I want to make sure I'm reading this correctly wbt. The car has a stock Coyote longblock, it's N/A, and runs 125mph? I'm not at all doubting or being skeptical. Just wanting to clarify.

If you don't mind me asking, what was the general progression of the car? Bone stock it went XX.XX @ XXX and then you added _________ and it went .... (and so on)

Well, based on our datalogging, the car should be trapping in the 126-127 range. Our home track 1/4 MPH indicators have not been right for the past couple of months. It started when a 3rd gen. T/A took out the lights one of the evenings we were out. MPH the rest of the evening was 2-3MPH off and has been ever since. Long answer to your question but yes, the car is on a stock long block with roughly 1,300 miles on the entire car.

A few timeslip comparisons on the MPH:

11.00 run. Focus on the 1/8 MPH:

Previous runs before the timing lights were knocked out:

Notice I am up 2MPH in the 1/8th but down in the 1/4. Looking at when the car should be shifting into 4th, I was up at least 2MPH in the 1/4 base on our logs and the shift point into 4th as can be heard in the 11.00 vid.

Plans are to keep the car N/A (stock long block) and make a few more runs at the N/A record later this year. Once that is achieved, it will move into single digits. :beerchug2:

Tune/tire only:


Stock intake, bolt-on's (timing lights were taken out by this point):

Same date, earlier in the day before the lights were taken out:


Boss intake:


Better air, traction and removed spolier, antenna, garage door opener, rear radial tire(1,400' DA):


It would have run a 10 on the last attempt but hit the limiter on the 1-2 shift. The track went away after that pass. Our temps have gone way up and we won't have decent air again until November. In the mean time, I am working on the next phase for the car. This Winter/next Spring will be nutty when we get the car dialed in on the new setup.

BTW - you can click into each vid to view the full list of mods for each pass. ;)
