is this a shop it’s at or just a personal mechanic/tuner? I’ve been looking for a better spot to do my work.

163mph is fastest I've gone as well, no traction through 3rd (stock Z51 gearing though which sucks). And had to shift to 5th which is a huge jump on Z51 transmissions. Pretty sure it has a 165-166 in it with better gearing.

Same air strip a year later I did 165 with a bit more head wind and a bit more HP. I could leave in second that time too. Hensley in Dallas. Nice strip.

I had a blast at the 1/2 mile event here in FL last year! HCIE NA, spraying water/methanol. I was shifting at 7300 rpms. I didn't want to shift into 5th so I ran the taller 305/35/19s DR's. The actual measurement was 27 1/16" which had me crossing the line at 7100+ish rpms in 4th. I found the actual measured tire diameter varied greatly from the advertised. Best speed for me was 164.47.

I also fine tuned WOT at this event:

Its like a Vbox but more accurate and cheaper. Uses the phone too.

looks promising, I have a dashlogic which apparently does a lot of what dragy does as well, I just haven’t got to mess with it for two main reasons....1) cars been down for almost two months now.2) it’s not Mac/IOS capable and I that’s all I have as the moment.

@$150 this things looks very user friendly and not much money at all. Curious to see your feed back on it.

I have a dashlogic too but wouldn’t rely on it for that type of info.

Well that answers that question, I was curious how the dashlogic did with 0-60’s 60ft 1/4-1/2 mile. I guess I know now. Thanks
