He said its tuned as hard as it can be which i trust. It revs higher than before, shifts highrr thsn before all around drivability is better in every way. We also road tested the car together after the dyno and made final adjuments during. I dont doubt the tune he was very thorough and explained everything step by step. I thought he did great and will be going back to him in the spring. I would hope 11s would be possible with gear and 100 shot he also mentioned some physical tranny work they do to improve shifts that isnt super harsh like the j mod is

sounds like the cars dialed in right, and you know what's best for it. so I'm left scratching my head as to what's causing the sub-par times.

No one has mentioned the trap speeds, which is the real indication of how the car is running. For a comparison, my Camaro was consistently trapping 109 with 296 rwhp and 326 rwtq. Stock converter and 2.73 gears, which does NOT help trap speeds, contrary to popular opinion. More RPM means more speed. And of course the Camaro weighs about the same as the Mach. This is a head scratcher.

yeah the traps seem a bit low. I'd be expecting 106/107 mph out of it without nitrous. and 110-112 with a small shot. closer to 114 or so when you get the 100 shot on there. Did you reply with if you had gears or not? I think a set of 4.10s or 4.30's would really help that car out. like stone said mach's have a great mid and top range and love to rev.
