Demon 170 1/4 times

[1971demon]

First off....If you raise the shift point they always gain horsepower. Known fact. Secondly.....They admitted to "massaging the factory tune" in their dyno clip. If anyone believes they didn't use their "massged" tune, along with their newly admitted trans shift point adjustment during the track runs; I've got some beach front property for sale in Arizona! Third.....I do believe the ECM had to be cracked as well in order to do either.

How much an acre

“At no time during this outing did we do any tuning except to the TCM . We only changed the shift points and torque management. We didn’t change the PCM tune"

Interested! There will be plenty of beach front when cali sinks

as they back track
I wouldn't trust anyone with an unlocked pcm

That's the statement in the article. That's what prompted my question. Hmmmm

fastest tuned 170 so far

I’m astounded at the sixty ft these things are doing on a 17” wheel with a ET-R.

 

[Speedy!]

That's not all that impressive for a tuned car? Non tuned are running about the same times aren't they?

no you didn’t just say that @Speedy! You’ll get banned from the tuner who tuned it 😂

Historically a tune was worth .3-.4. I get it the lower ET you go the harder it is to make up time though. Still I'd have expected more so maybe these things are tuned up pretty good from the factory.

Well, one ran in the 8s without weight reduction, just a wheel/tire change. 4380 lbs race weight and reportedly off the foot brake, no trans brake or anything.

Looks like the majority are running at Bradenton?

Look at the freaking wheelie!

4380 lbs ( my guess is race weight ) +350 da and no tuning

"We then massaged the factory tune a bit"

WE NO LONGER WILL BE CALLED TUNERS DUE TO EPA REGUALTIONS ,WE ARE NOW CALLED A CAR MASSEUSE

SOYOU CANT SAY THE CAR WAS TUNED BUT GIVEN A GOOD MASSAGE !

I think "car fondler" is more accurate...

Reddicopp sounds like a fake name. Is this guy a LEO?

LEO maybe but definitely a Hooser eh !!!

I m pretty sure the 170 he is racing is a VIN match to his 2018 he races which also runs 8s

Just saw no 9.50 class in MSHS 2024. Figured that'd be the class for these. Goes straight from 10.0 to 9.0 classes.

Jon and I were discussing that. They needed a 9.0 class but not sure the 9.5 class should have been cut. We have seen a lot of 9.7- 9.8 running it when they should be running 10.0 but some have their ego get in the way and won't slow their car down. There is an 8.50 and heavyweight and I think one of those should have went
