New Track Record for the SHO

[bpd1151]

Why all the hate for kamikaze runs to get a record?  Personally, I don't care whatsoever if someone else blows up their car, being ridiculous.  That's on them.  But if they set a record, then they get to claim it, end of story.  I'm not defending this particular guy, since I have no idea if he's telling the truth or not.  But if he set that time, then that's the record.  Makes zero difference if it explodes on the way home, lol.   

I'm not positive there's "hate" in the true sense. None at all.

Look at my original post on this subject matter.

If it's legit, then kudos are deservedly in order.

The resulting discussions (however palatable, or not) center around whether or not it's legit.

One would think if a crack at the record is within reach, video of evidence at a minimum would be beneficial.

Anyone can post a pic of a slip. That and the lack of any other supportive details, documentation, etc. is highly suspect.

I think it was summed up best by one reply that dragtimes will likely NOT accept the submission as it stands.

Which would speak volumes to the credibility of the (alleged) record having been broken.

Now back to the regularly scheduled entertaining jocularity. Ha!

I dont think there is ANY hate here.  The problem is we keep hearing of people blowing up engine after engine with this particular tuner, all in a race to claim fame.  At some point, it gets OLD.  A legit record is the way bpd does it.  But as long as repair burdens fall on the owner and not Ford, these people can keep sticking their heads in this particular blender, and I would not have a problem with it.

It’s like a teenager with an inferiority complex lol....who writes “suck it” on a time slip ?

Why does it seem that every message that comes from that demographic is so confrontational? Lol

From the things I’ve seen from that camp is that records are all that matter even at the expense of engine safety

I’ve see too many logs from that side that are downright scary and I think that the vehicle owners actually have no clue and I feel bad for them...but hey if they break records or win a race all is good so I guess ignorance can be bliss lol

I have seen a few logs as in well.... and it pretty much confirms two things...

1: The knock sensors never add or subtract any timing...that PID reads a big fat ZERO through every datalog...

2: All this talk about monitoring individual cylinders is complete crap....as I’ve never seen those DMRs in any of the logs......

And if the datalogs are not recording it... then that tuner isn’t seeing it.....

kamikaze runs are stupid, pointless, and foolish.... and based on the logs I have seen... those drivers are unaware that they are a bad run away from destroying their cars....

Hit the nail on the head there. We had a customer come to us after having issues on an *** tune and getting fired for asking them to look at it.

Their log didn't show ANYTHING worth while, so we had them relog with our config file. Fuel rail pressure was in the 900s, knock sensor 0'd out as you said (as it was on their log as well). Swapped to our individual knock config and it did read, but man was it pulling timing.

I'm told that knock is normal for their tunes, and if you aren't knocking you aren't demanding enough out of your engine. LOL

If the block ain't a knocking don't bother rocking...

Now now, kamikaze runs have their place. If I was going to have a motor built I would absolutely have some fun prior. You know, for science. Unlike that clown, all limiters and sensors would be enabled so we could see the destruction in real time, lol.

1st I'd have Brad load up the MBT spark tables then raise the boost until  :nuclear:

Knowing my luck the engine would survive and the trans would grenade, lol.

If that run is real, I guarantee that motor is done. Trans probably not far behind.

Hope his bank account is topped off.

First hand Knowledge of a "A  LOCAL TUNER"  (NOT Brad)
that did not know what the F he was doing,
