To be perfectly honest she drives like stock. Anyones g/f or even grandmother could get in and drive my car now that Mike from Vengeance has tuned it. It only gets wild when you want it to be wild, all depends on how brave your right foot is

She really liked the 70 degree air last night. Felt even stronger. Can't wait to see how she does in 50 degree air. We got a cold front moving in, and I am going to test her out in it if the rain holds off.
Anyone curious how the VaraRam works on this beast? Well here's a small bit of info. GREAT !! Checked IAT's with my scanner, and ambient air temp was roughly 70 at 1230 am, and my IATs were reading within 1 degree! 71 degree IAT !! That's why I am looking fwd to the cold front that is moving in. I really want to see how much more she's got in her. Everyone at the track talks about good air, I'm looking for some good air. Georgia heat and humidity were nuts, and the car still made EXCELLENT power. More proof that Vengeance was worth the drive !

So that means I'll have to cover 1260 feet in 8.88 seconds to get a 10.99 if I can't do any better then 2.11. Looking for a 1.8xx and then with practice try to get to 1.7xx on my 60 foot times. Thanks for the motivation bro. Unfortunately I am back at work and getting to the track is going to take some effort.

Hey bro. First things first. My first goal is to get her down the track without cracking her up. Second goal is to hit 3 clean shifts at the cue of my shift light to see if she'll run 130 or any higher. Third goal is to get a proper launch and go for 10.xxx et. Wish me luck. I'll probably go to the track twice, an upcoming test n tune in the heat, and then go back in the fall to see how much she picks up in cooler air. Keep in mind my previous best 60 was 2.11 LOL So that means I'll have to cover 1260 feet in 8.88 seconds to get a 10.99 if I can't do any better then 2.11.

I'd love to make a pass at 133 mph !!! Not going to worry about my 60 or et until I nail down a consistent trap. Then I'll work on my 60 to improve my et. Driving pretty good on the street, but for some reason it just doesn't translate at the track. Wish me luck when I do go.

Doug, no offense meant here but you need to work on your shifting if you want to go 130+. I can eat a $5 footlong in between your shifts on the Vengeance video. That's going to kill your mph 
I think 133 shouldn't be a problem with the right weather conditions. Work on your powershifting and she'll haul serious ***.

Finally got to see the vids !!! Good job Ron! Too bad we didn't have a clear shot onto the expressway I'd have liked to have stayed in a bit longer. To be perfectly honest, the car was scaring the $hit out of me!! She's mean when you get on her.

Do you plan to make it to Woodward this year? I might catch up with you there & check this beast out.
Sorry if you already mentioned it, but was this tune a SD tune, or MAF?
