Well, it's going faster and quicker!
These PIU cars do NOT like launching on stock wheels/tires, so the 60ft is not the best.
The tune is pretty dialed in, and the car will go 11s as it sits now, the stars just have to align with the launch. It actually trapped 114.5mph this morning on the same map!!!
This is currently the fastest TRUE Full Weight 100% STOCK PIU. Shooting for 11s on 93 before we go deep 11s on E40.
Then pull weight and do the same tests.
I laugh every time I see this thing run what it does with 130,000 miles on the clock

Totally incredible to break into the 11-second barrier without an intake, charge pipe, intercooler, or downpipe. That can only be achieved when you put effort and dedication into your work. Once the transbrake system is released and those 60ft times improve, it’s going to be an absolute rocket.
Thanks, Goose, for your contributions to the ST community. I’m already impatient to get my tune!

First 100% stock full weight PIU on 93oct in the 11s!
That was a fun 20 day experiment
Should we go deeper 11s by pulling weight now, or throw some ethanol in it and shoot for VERY low 11s 100% stock?
(EDIT: This actually might be the first ever ST/PIU in the 11s on 93 that's 100% stock/full-weight!)

Well after talking with several people and researching for most of yesterday, this in indeed the first ever PIU in the 11s on 93 that's 100% stock/full-weight!
I haven't seen an ST in 11s tune-only on 93 either! So it appears to be a first for the ST as well!
After such a short time in the platform I would've thought this would be done by now, I guess not! This is SUPER cool!!!

I don’t think it has any noticeable advantages; on the contrary, it only has disadvantages compared to the ST.
The only good thing it has is the transmission, which is a 10R80 and can handle much more than ours, but aside from that:

The vehicle isn't mine, but you almost always have to practice launch RPMs. When the vehicle is tuned, it tends to rev much higher than when it's stock. However, you need to make sure to check your transmission fluid level, engine oil, and differential. Upgrading the bushings is also a good idea.

It's really not faster, but it does have a stronger trans as TNT mentioned. That stronger trans has nothing to do with running 11s on 93 though. People have put WAY more through a factor 10r60.
I might add also since it's not talked about much, 60ft'ing a PIU is TOUGH. They don't get traction well, so launching is very tough. 1.77 isn't that great when ST guys are pulling 1.69s all day. If he were to pull that, you'd see him run 11.80s on pump 93, 100% stock [full weight].
This is just good driving + a good tune, and good weather. He could pull weight and run 11.7s very very easily. Which to me is pretty amazing. He said his goal was 12.5 on 93, so he's totally happy with 11.95 on 93.
He has my E40 map now. The current tune-only record (set by a lighter ST) is 11.7 which he'll beat, easy.
We didn't really plan on going this fast. This car was supposed to be his daily when he wasn't driving his raptor. He asked me to tune, and the rest was history lol
