Just curious, did you ever make it to the 11 second 93 tune pass? I'm working toward a consistent 12.00-12.03 second 93 tune pass now.

If we had been trying at a different time of the year…I have no doubt. It was July/August in south Texas so probably could t have picked a worse time. It went 12.0 and we threw in the towel because I was doing other mods and moving to E50.

Understood. Thank you for sharing. I have no doubt that Adam will get me dialed in, performance wise. The rest will be up to driver, surface conditions and weather.

What are you guys doing to hit 12 flat with a 93 tune? Adding a splash of ethanol?

I did it brother (My time is on the left)! Thanks to continuous tune revisions, great weather and a perfect launch, we got this ST into the 11's on a 93 tune (Running an E26 blend). I ended up taking 2nd place at Street Car Takeover Rockingham this past weekend, in the 12.0 index class.

I’m no where nears those numbers as per draggy. I guess I need to get on the track and make some passes. What tires are you running? Factory?

I'm running the stock 21" wheels and Pirelli Scorpion Zero A/S tires. When I'm on the track, they're deflated down to roughly 25.5-26 PSI. I then re-inflate them before leaving the track to the factory 33 PSI.

I hope this helps.

Do you test the ethanol to know exactly what percentage it is?

I recently installed a combination of Innovate Motorsports MTX-D ethanol gauge and sensor, and Fenfab ethanol sensor installation kit. It works beautifully and makes life so much easier when blending fuels.

I think it would be helpful when owners post their ST's drag times that they note if they're 1 bolt rear or 2 bolt rear and if they are using any rear diff braces.

It would help put things into perspective.

Sadly, I have a 1 bolt (Actually a 3 bolt) rear differential. I have been testing/using the AWR Racing differential brace for a couple of months now, with no issues. I'm at the strip at least every other weekend, beating on it. The two piece brace is extremely beefy and well made. I hope this helps provide some clarity!

Glad to help. I have had no issues with the Pirelli's so far however, I do intend to switch to Continental Extreme Contacts (and a lighter, forged wheel) whenever it's time for tires. I've heard amazing reviews for those tires.
