SORRY BUT THIS REALLY DOSENT IMPRESS ME!!!!!
I think that if you are going threw all that trouble you should get a whole lot more! What the hell stink'n 12.5, thats really impressive. To think that man has wasted that much time and money only to achive that time. Then to offer his services as a race car builder , OHH COME ON NOW. A shot of the go-go juice and some sticky's an alot of us can run in that time slot.
Sorry about my rant and rave this mourning, but this struck me a little ODD. If this guys car speaks for his shop,he better get in the soup line cause the doors are getting ready to close!
AHHHHH I feel better,it just really bugs me how people think they are something their NOT...................

ROFLMAO, 12.5 at 116!!! That's what I'm talking about!! I would bet that car had no traction until the end of the 1/8th with those 20s on it. But still, what a horrible advertisement for a speed shop.

Watch the video again- it had NO traction problems. That MPH is weak as hell too. Pretty funny. Then again, if you add music and cool effects to your video, it makes things all better.... LOL
That thing was pathetic for having turbos on it and there are bolt-on stangs running similar times also. I didn't watch the whole thing to see if it was an advertisement or not, but if it was- that man's gotta up the wick quite a bit before using that car to rep. a shop...

WOW...that sucked.....
Why was the boost blowing off during the burn-out....and it was popping down the track...POS... That was pathetic.

It would appear a REAL tune is in order, and that is assuming that matched parts or being used.
Heck, I run 117 All NA 364 CI I would certainly expect a twin turbo to beat that MPH even if his ET was slower. That thing should be in the 120+ range easy...if not 130.
mid 12's....i would not be proud of that nor be posting that on the internet...all that money why not buy some dr's...idk

The car isnt blazingly fast, however its now much faster than when it came from the dealer, which is what most of our customers are looking for. Ive seen stock 05+ GTs run mid 14s-15 second 1/4s and just under 100mph. Id say its far from impressive, but the twin kit seems to get the job done especially on the weak stock 4.6. We have several piston/rod cars on the twin kit running low 10s and a couple of stock auto cars running 11.6s.
As for the shop, we have tune some of the most powerful GT500s and one of the most powerful naturally aspirated LSX engines built by Late Model Racecraft. We have also built and tuned many turbo LS engines ranging from stock to full builds.. So, take it easy on us. We're just trying to make the customers happy.
We have bolt-on, cam cars that run faster then that. Hell, my brother's cam, stalled auto 1995 LT1 Camaro runs 12.50s . . .
