    Nice reaction time Dan. You left the other guy just sitting there. You're car is very quick.

    Thanks guys, that was Drew Wallace driving. It was a Test & Tune, so the quick reaction time really didn't matter. Poor Chris got left pretty quickly. There was only one other car in our group that ran faster (and in the 10's) and it was a 10.49 I believe, but it's not a street car and weighs in at 3,000lbs. Allen's car runs 10.8's, but he had a throttle hang issue and let the car drive itself down the track at a 12.2 one time. The video was the first run and Drew followed up with a 10.6 in the third run. The start is really tricky. Start to hard and you get too much tire spin and start too easy and the car bogs (2nd run this happened and it ran a 11.1). Shaun's slicks and skinnies helped out quite a bit.

    He's running E85 and switches back and forth between pump gas and E85 tunes. He had recently gotten a new E85 tune and we are suspecting the file may be corrupted. Past tunes ran fine at the track. That's the only time he runs the E85 tune and this was the first run on the new tune. So bottom line is you're probably right!

    If they changed the MAF curve at all for the E85 there's the problem.... could be other things but I would question that first.
