Congrats again Mike.

Hagi, where's the damn videos of my car!

The guys that are racing regularly are providing a wealth of information that everyone benefits from. If an Olympic world record was ever shattered to the degree that Mike's run did, the entire world would wonder how it was possible. If it was just atmospheric conditions, cutting back on the Lasagna ,track prep, Andy tweaking the tune files who knows? The fun part is debating everything after the fact. That's Racing!!!

It's very hard to see these gains after tuning your car on the dyno. The horsepower you guys get on the dyno usually gets left at the dyno shop when you go to the track because the car doesn't perform at the drag strip. The guy that goes to the drag strip and sets the car up to go fast and quick at the track may be disappointed with the numbers that they see if they put their car on a dyno, it's just the way it is. I remember when I was racing you would hear about new cars coming out that just put down 1500HP (10 years ago), and you would be thinking how this guy is gonna kick my *** but they would get to the track and do nothing, where was all that horsepower that they had on the dyno? I can't even begin to tell you how many cars this happened with. It got to the point where I stopped paying attention to those numbers because I realized that they meant nothing.

Mike is at a big advantage because he has gone to the track many many times and he has learned a lot, I think he has learned a lot more than even he realizes. Luckily for you guys he has no qualms about sharing what he learned with you guys but the best way to get your car to go faster is to get out there and start running it.

It's really up to you to figure out what you want. Do you want that dyno number or do you want to actually be quicker and faster? I know what I would rather have.

No disrespect at all, just asking... The mob mentality on this forum when it comes to questioning times is ridiculous.

Was the intake done after ATCO and before this run?

This is an excellent post. Track tuning cars is much more effective than dyno tuning them especially for modern cars. In modern cars, the ECU tries to react to so many different variables, some of which affect power drastically. In my opinion, this creates a scenario where good numbers on the dyno may not coincide with good numbers on the track. I've seen this countless times in person and I've been repeatedly posting it for the last couple of years.

By the way, having the car perform better when track tuned is not (in any way) limited to MHP only. I've seen Jeremy@OE Tuning tune cars on the track and witnessed the same car go quicker/faster with a few minor changes.
