Big Thanks to Garage Defeat!

Finally made it into the 11's on Friday night. Weather was hot and humid (87 degrees w/ 85% humidity). Car ran an 11.995 @114.49mph on 93 octane.

Here is the video:

I wanted to thank Dan S. from GarageDefeat. Without him I know I would not be running as fast as I am. He has been great to work with and really has taught me a lot about making the car faster. His tune on Friday night was just perfect!

I have only drag raced about five times so I am really happy with my performance. With improved driving I am sure I can go quicker!

Shad

I talked to Dan a couple weeks ago he said he doesn't have it yet but will soon.


Did he do anything to your car cause I am looking at his head package/IM, besides the tuning.

Dan has been doing the tuning for me. I had everything purchased and installed before I meet Dan. My car is basically a Buschur Stage 4 w/Alcohol injection and an AEM EMS. I am still running stock head, bottom end, etc.

Congratulations Shad! Shad just posted his dyno sheet from 10-09-05 on an AWD DynoPack. 387ft/lbs Torque 359 AWHP!

Btw, this was on his daily driven street tune. He didnt even think to put in his more aggressive race map.

Was this run with or without the alcohol? Congrats on breaking into the 11's.
