LUND!!! Unfreaking Believable!!!

[RBS550]

HOLY COW!!!! My LUND Tune is absolutely incredible!!!
DA hovered around 1,900'-2,000' all night. This mph is CRAZY!!! I can't wait to get the Circle "D" converter & gears in!! So I can get my E.T. closer to my mph, I'm leaving at least 7 tenths on the table! BIG thanks to TEAM BEEFCAKE for hooking me up with all the right parts and the patience to deal with me, and to SW Power series long tubes, off road Performance connect. I knew the primary tubes were a little big for a N/A car, but man with a LUND Tune they bring on the power on the Big End! I've raced SBF's all my life, never have I pulled so many cars on the Big End!
I'm launching @ 1,500, and I can't stress this enough...SHALLOW STAGE SHALLOW STAGE. Going through in 3rd 6,900 and don't lift to well past the finish line.

What did your car MPH stock?

Congrats!

108-109mph I've attached my best stock pass including the Pirelli tires.

Damn! Nice! I only went 103 with a 2.4 60' 100% stock. Wish I could get a 60' like that!

I've got drag radials coming, hopefully that cures my problems.

Drag radials make every pass good. But keep in mind I have an auto and 3.15s in the rear....so I'm not working the tires yet. With the Circle "D" converter & gears it'll be a new ballgame.

Auto/3.15 here also. I bought the 3.15 because I plan to boost the car and I knew I'd want a higher gear...but FWIW, I wish I were working with a 3.55 or 3.73 NA.

Converter is on my short list, though likely to happen after boost. I have wondered what a converter would do now to wake the car up...

Hell yes!!

Good choice with gearing for future boost. Well my experience over the years what ever I pick up in 60' should double at the end....meaning if I pick up 2 tenths I should have a total of 4 tenths at the end. Remember the higher stall really comes into play in first gear, as the rest of the track I never drop back into the stall range.

Are you staying NA? Getting the Circle D from Beef? I've often thought about staying NA for a year and seeing how fast I can go before boost.

I will stay N/A for quite awhile, I can always go back in gear and have the converter reworked. I've had 3.73s for over a month sitting in a box, but until the BCM issue is worked out there's no sense in putting them in. The down side to a good N/A car is you have to live with the rpms that comes from steep gears & high stall converter, but I've had that all my life......with 4.56s and no O.D. Oh...yes I'm going through BEEFCAKE, I use him for as much stuff as possible. The converter should be here Tuesday, I'll put it in this coming weekend.

I wonder when the BCM issue is worked out...Is that a Ford thing? Or an aftermarket tune thing? Or both?

I've talked with Watson Racing on the issue quite a bit & the Ford Tech Line, it seems like everyone is trying to fix the issue. One of the problems is there's no consistency in the issue, as some people have changed with no issues and others the car will only move about 3' and stop. I'm sure it will be solved soon.

Trapping a hair under 118..nice!

Don't you have to completely change the rear diff to go from 3.15 to 2.73 gears?

Also... what is this BCM issue thing? Curious what I need to watch out for.
