Hey guys, me again.
I figured I'd ask a more general question. Is something wrong with my fathers car that severely limits the ability of it? What I mean by it, is that we now have a stratified tune on the vehicle, which is amazing by the way. The all around feel of the car is way more refined and it pulls very well, we love it; though the main question is, why has nothing increased the performance of this vehicle? You'd think after dumping over 2k into it that this car would be mildly faster, but it just isn't. I see people with tunes alone running way quicker times in the 1/4 then we ever have. How is it possible? How can a car with all bolt ons, minus a big turbo be slower than just a tune - I'm not talking in general, because we whipped the hell out of a tune only ST on the highway - so power is there, but in 1/4 mile we've never achieved anything better than a 14.13 @ 100 mph - that was with a 2.16 60'. We ran again today, roughly the same temp, car sat for an hour like last time etc. best - [email protected] mph with a 2.02 60'. Why is it going backwards? why is it so all over the place? Should he just give up on this vehicle, cave and buy an RS or a Ecoboost Mustang?
I'm wondering if the performance is just down on his car and if it really has something wrong with it that needs to be addressed. According to the datalogs nothing is though... the car just doesn't feel "fast". If anyone has a suggestion, this again is not 1/4 mile only but in general, please let me know.
