Not to be bearer of bad news and I am surprised no one mentioned it yet, but those times and more pointedly the mph is equivalent to a stock 997T.
If you have a tune, full exhaust you should be around be trapping around 125-128ish.
I had a pump gas OTS Proto tune, Fabspeed 200cell straight pipes, GT3 THROTTLE BODY, 82mmIPD PLENUM, EVOMS LW crank pulley (last three really didn't add real power at that level more for throttle response) and I was neck and neck with a 128trap car from a roll and pulling 125+ trap Shelby's.
If you were even 124-126 I can chalk it up to your typical veryances and differences in tune, but pulling stock traps and being off 6-8mph off.....check for leaks and make sure all is working in harmony.

Still learning the launch point on the vehicle which appears to be best done @ 2800-3200 rpm - anything higher 3500-4000 causes it to bog down a bit, still need some practice but getting much better. Such a blast to drive! First trip into the 11's - still plenty of room to improve that time.

Yep, as i researched and we discussed through PM awhile back - checking a few things out and should have an answer to the issue on Saturday. Cobb is working with me to get this all straightened out. Big ups to Mitch and Jon!!

I think you could run that without issue. I am not rubbing with the spacers on a 325 tire.

A couple new pics of my track wheels - put on the tire stickers for $hits and giggles. I like the look, especially since it breaks up the all black look which is not my favorite.
Car looks incredible! I love the story and the pics. Love the stance your car has! I don't know what kind of magic your using to keep your car so clean. My turbo cab is dirty almost immediately after its clean! LOL
Thanks guys - i enjoy detailing and wash it often - i can't stand to drive a dirty car.
Also, keeping a fairly fresh layer of blackfire on it helps repel the dirt, but no matter what, a black car just takes a time commitment unfortunately as all black paint owners are well aware.
Well after doing some diagnostics and talking with Mitch/Jon at Cobb, we found some issues with the custom tune i received from Cobb Plano (private ownership).
Jon and Mitch stepped up and handled the issue amazingly and i couldn't be happier with how they handled a problem caused by a third party.
Needless to say, Jon came down and retuned my car and she put down vastly improved numbers and the car feels much stronger. I am very excited to hit the drag strip this weekend and see what she can do now.
New numbers are 511 AWHP and 518 AWTQ - an increase of about 60 HP/TQ vs the previous custom tune.
Once again a huge thank you to Jon for coming down and taking care of me. I had a great time just talking cars and tuning with him - great guy and an extremely knowledgable resource for the community.
Nice, power is coming in line now. How much boost?
19-20 psi

Just curious, what made the car go from
463 AWHP/533 WTQ to 511 AWHP/518 WTQ?
Clean car man, hope to have a similar one soon
Thanks!
I had a retune - the numbers may not be exactly comparable as they were done on different dynos. The difference is related to the first tune where a boost hose was blown off and not fixed while continuing the tune and the recent tune was done properly with no leaks.
Best time to date:
I believe the car is capable of a much better time, just need some work on the driver mod. Launching this beast is a challenge.
