well, maybe ford improved the heads, but 13.8 aint 13.2, like when i took my car down the 1320 for the first time ever in my life, and my car was bone stock. No kind of driver mod that day.

Thanks. I've tried that before though (when I was in Hawaii). Its really not profitable without a shop to work out of. By the time you factor in having to pay for the dyno plus all of the time spent on idle and drivability...I'd have to charge at least $600 per car just to make it worthwhile. That doesn't even include the cost of the software and licensing. Maybe if I could do it full time it would be different, I'm happy being part-time at Virginia Speed though. The only thing I really hate is not having the time to tune every person needing it.

Yea I know, I was just playing around. I know a couple guys who do tuning and they make the people getting the car tuned pay for the dyno and your time.... Its good to work part time though.... Especially when you get the kinda overtime you get....

But what about when Ford let SVT improve the whole motor and they were capable of mid 12's stock.... with good drivers of course. The 03/04 Cobras ???!!!

That is one point i will not argue with! SVT does have a good team and they do turn out good vehicles(most of time) and really as long as u just look at what they have made from 03 and up!
