QUESTION Which tuner has the most 11 second cars

Just had a thought about which tuner
Then which equipment
I know it says whether you have headers or what not but from which manufacturer?

I think further clarification or specificity is in order before a suitable response can be had. You cannot attribute an 11 second quarter mile run to the achievement of the tuner alone. Within the same relevance, you could ask which tires have had the most 11 second runs, which cold air kits, which suspension parts, transmission etc.

If all conditions are the same and you're questioning whether a full bolt on, proper suspension and tire car will hit 11's with the right tune or not, isn't doing the tuner or anyone else any justice. I highly, highly doubt that a tuner will make a substantial enough of a difference over another tuner as to warrant credit issued for the resulting quarter mile run in that range. If you were talking about single digit runs, then of course, your tune/tuner becomes an even more critical part of the equation.

Tuner A may get you 15rwhp and 10rwtq and Tuner B may get you 20rwhp and 15rwtq. In our heavy cars, that amount of horsepower is exceedingly negligible. Even if there was a decent amount of power under the curve and not just peak numbers. Too many factors at play.

Now see the second answer was the better answer
Because why would a person even ask such a question in here

Bolt-on can get you 11 seconds with the right bolt ons and tuners

You say Rhino
Any other guys have a tuner that got them into the 11 second club?

Mine was remote tuned by Ted at JRE. 11.98 best bolton time. Cammed it and went with a local tuner for a full dyno tune shortly after.

11's have more to do with the wheel/tire setup than anything

Depends what the tuner does. If all the tuner does is dynotune the car, it is negligible. If you are trusting the person to BUILD it for you, now it means a lot. Some tuners are in bed with certain brands. Others are independent and purchase what their research indicates is best. Others just pop in the biggest names - K&N, Flowmaster and what have you. Others have a totally different plan of attack. Some may go power adders, some may go gearing, suspension and tires. Others may mix and match. Now it is a whole different ball game.

Most people are lazy and just do bolt-ons to add more power and say GO. Dyno numbers sell to the inexperienced. The real way is to reduce the weight and maximize suspension and traction. I bet a set of gears and DR's with lightweight rims and a rear seat removal will smoke full bolt-on cars with the best tune. But you'll see no dyno numbers from that and that's what tuners tend to advertise.

So...maybe the answer isn't a TUNER and rather a guy that cares only about ET's if that's what you care most about.

Hitting 11's in a bolt on only Camaro has a lot to do with the combination of mods that you choose along with having a tuner that understands how to squeeze all the power out of a tune. Both Rhino and ADM helped me with tuning and the rest is my decision on what mods I chose to go with. End result it all worked great.

I think you missed the 11 second club part
Are you in the 11 second club?
If so do share tuner and mods if you care to

A combo tune I respect that some don't share the love on all that helped
Thanks for sharing

I have tuned 5 of the top 11 bolt on cars on the list that are in the 11s. HRD_WRK is on the stock tq converter too. That's hard to pull off on an auto car. Merc is a LS3 m6 of course.

And come to think of it all those tunes are done remotely...lol. I do have a local guy to me that was running 11s before the cam, but he isn't on the forum.
