But she has a hood prop... :/

I just bought some redline struts lol...

I have cut 60 foots like that on low 9 second runs. I would like to see that backed up.

Mike

Trying to get consecutive 60's but its hard with the spooling and watching the lights. It's not a hit the gas and done kind of thing. I'm working on it though! My previous runs consist of a 1.520, 1.525 and a 1.58. I did get lucky with the 1.47 but that's what I'm working on. Consistent 60's.

If she's driving in auto, like the rest of you that brag and post about your 0-60 and 1/4 mile times, then why does she need to back it up since all you're doing is mashing a pedal to the floor?

It's not as detailed as a manual but I do need to stage properly and it isn't just smashing the gas. I have to time things perfectly. This is why I can't back it up consistently. I am battling hot weather and humidity in Florida. Sometimes they don't prep it right when I go to run the next time. A lot of variables. trying to practice my launch which is the most important to me.

There will not be a flex fuel tune for the EcoBoost, because the EcoBoost platform as a whole is already starved for fuel. By using a fueling option that has 40%less volume than pump gas you are only exacerbating that starvation issue.



That is a video appears to be shot from a cell phone. That is probably why.





Just the passenger seat was removed. The rest of the car is stock weight. She is running Livernois tuning for VP Racing Fuels MS109, LMS 160° Tstat, FMIC, AiRaid CAI, WMI, slicks, skinnies, Race Star racing wheels and Stainless Works Turbo Back Exhaust. VP Racing Fuel MS109. Thanks for the compliment @Blue_Demon, but we only did half of the work! Lexi did all of the mods and driving all we did was the tuning! She is a killer driver!





Lexi has also continued to go faster and faster.

Is indeed slower than

Now she is the fastest, by a good margin! :first: Again congrats @Lilmisslexi080 :clap2:

We have spoken of her success, but she somehow she continued to fly under the radar. So this is far from a, to use Mike's epically overused reference to all of our success, a "glory run". What about the 2.3L racecar? That made several "glory runs" prior and post to losing at the EcoBoost Shootout. There has never been any rhetoric directed that way. We know that because we have a truly unique position and understanding of the platform that aids us in seeing the bigger picture that others cannot we will get more consternation shot our way. And that is okay, because like we said, we know that we are not for everyone nor do we try to be. When you have been in the industry as long as we have you are just more aware of what goes on in the industry since history repeats itself with the release of ever new car. We also know that often times what we post goes against the rest of the industry because they have had years convincing people to do things a certain way. We feel we have a better way because of this experience and longevity. That is a path we went down many years ago. We knew going into this new direction that it wouldn't be an easy path. The easy path is never what we wanted.

To your question Adam, Lexi started off as an "average person", as you referenced it. She listened to the expert advice we have her, ingested it all, followed the majority of it and continues to do so. Because of this subscription to our regimen, we continue to provide her with increasingly more aggressive support. We will continue to do so as well. Just like anyone else who chooses to do so.

SHE OWNS THE CAR. Where does the inkling that she could not possibly own this car come from? She is the owner, modder and driver, and not a professional driver like you imply! Girls race too Adam, have you ever heard of the Force girls? They're kind of a big deal!

I do have raw video of me being in the car. I think it's too big to post here. It needs to be cut. I'll just cut the back half of it and you can see Michael (my helper ;) ) recording me in the drivers seat !

What are your suspension mods, if any?

We listed her full mod list in our post.

"She is running Livernois tuning for VP Racing Fuels MS109, LMS 160° Tstat, FMIC, AiRaid CAI, WMI, slicks, skinnies, Race Star racing wheels and Stainless Works Turbo Back Exhaust. VP Racing Fuel MS109."

No suspension mods. I may get the viking shocks I believe they're called.

We actually made more than that on the stock block!

She is actually waiting in line for some more work as soon as we can breathe a little bit. Our shop is almost completely full of cars, and our drivers are out on the road almost everyday for the next few weeks. So I could not tell you when that day she is going to get in, but hopefully it will be soon since Bradenton is in March. Unfortunately, we do have AutoRama coming up prior to that. We are interested in getting her hooked up!

You can really see where it ran out of fuel. Congrats none the less.

Was that a test n tune night? Not sure we saw you when all of the Mustangs showed up there a month or so ago for the track rental.

When I am not racing for real, I ignore the tree and focus on getting the perfect launch....or as close as I can get. 1.58 to a 1.47 is 2 tenths difference out the back. I would like to see if you can get a 1.47 again. The low 1.5s are impressive unto themselves.

No question. That is why we are excited to get going on her. BUT, client vehicles are just a little bit more important than ours.

How long will the stock block last with that kind of power? Pretty awesome!!!!

It is totally safe. We have made far more power on that stock platform without issue.

Won't be back out until after the new year. Probably mid january. Getting major mods done! But I'm new to all of this racing stuff and I tend to get a little nervous at the tree. Trying to work on everything and watch my boost levels etc... Hopefully my next time out I will have consecutive low 60's and ET's.
