If you don't want to share atleast the basics of what you have done then don't come on here and boast about your "records". Don't take it wrong, I think these guys kick *** and have a great car, but they should only expect people wanting to know how they do what they do. Noone is asking you to give every detail, but a basic mod list, weight, tire info should be given for anyone wanting to claim a "record"
What more do you want? They have shown pictures of all the car, engine bay opened, pictures of the wheels and they are infact slicks, told you the turbine, you can see what type of header and such. You can see the brakes, you can see it still has all the seatbelt hardware and such obviously the seat taken out. Trust me they are showing quite plenty and more than what they should in my perspective. In any other business the company trade secrets are that SECRET. Why would this be any different? They are showing much more than they should and you still want a 100% mod list come on we both know this is a business. The fact of the matter is whether they like it or not that car did 9.97 on a "stock appearance" turbo. Obviously they have some mods under the table but nothing too drastic. You can also see they also looked to lower the drag coefficient of the car by covering up the holes in the front and such from the pictures.

No, I doubt that because they sell those cams.... in this example, all i would need to know is that they are running their own cams to their own "secret" specs...that would keep me happy.

I sincerely doubt they would sell you the exact same cams that are on their car; they would sell some cams that are almost/quite as good but not the ones they use. They would still need to keep their "advantage". What would it matter if they are running secret specs or not. They are not going to disclose the exact formula bro. This aint like a formula for a 11 second evo that are all over the net. This is the formula for the worlds fastest stock appearance. Like I said does everything has to be a damn bolt-on with a how to guide? If you are not in the business or dont have the $ to experiment then dont go trying to be the fastest or close to the fastest in the world. Do you have any idea how much a research and development; part mixing and such takes to bring a car to that time?

Its anyones guess what specs a shop car will run on their cams....

I'm not....I'll spend my money in other ways....

Yes I do.....

Like I said does everything has to be a damn bolt-on with a how to guide?

You are right, you can guess what a shop car runs as their cam, yes it would be easier if everything was a bolt-on but the reality is that it is far from that...

Blue Evo 8 if you're not satisfied with your car (500WHP High 11's) I understand. The key here is a good combination, tuning and driving among other things (like it has been mention all over the thread). The way you approaching the people of this team… is not going to give you any answers. If their using a bolt-on turbo and running single digit ¼ miles then they obviously know what their doing!

I don’t know how the power curve of your car looks but looks like you have a few problems. The first thing is that you can’t drive (practice that’s the best advice we can give you) the other one is you need to improve the way your car applies it to the ground. 12.2 out of 124 is not something to be proud of.

I know I cant drive so it isnt new news to me. I know I gotta go out there and practice, I know the car can do much better with better driving....
