12.6@107 "tune only" , not bad at all. They said 20" wheels but with the time vs mph I wonder if they were dr ?

A tad miss leading but impressive none the less. Clearly it has a sticky tire with that 60ft. I would buy one as a dd in a heart beat if I could get past that nose.

the car did have DRs on it. Also I don't see anywhere in that video where they said "just tune".

But still thats damn impressive IMO for just a tune n tire to go from 13.8s to 12.6

They didn't say "just tune", but its also missleading to the otherwise ignorant consumer. Some will think the car is capable of mid 12s with just a tune when that may not be the case. This car was running drag radials according to a certain Mustang site.

That said, it is very impressive.

yep. what makes it even odder tho is that the factory car had 18" wheels on it. this car had 20" drag radials on it. Maybe they borrowed them off of another shop car but on the forums Livernois has been showing this video they have all confirmed it to be on a DR

That still very good for a tune and DR. Waiting for the down pipe, intercooler and exhaust upgrades. I see a easy mid eleven run.

FRPP EcoBoost ran a 1.635 60' on FULL SLICK radials, indeterminate weight, and unknown dyno numbers and total mods.

This one ran 1.679 60', similar e.t. (within a 1/10), 2 mph slower 1/4, with dyno numbers apparently known, but EXACT tires and weight and other mods unknown .

When will someone release ALL the pertinent data? Is that too much to expect?

Really don't care what all the "data" says. Eve. If they did snatch out the interior and add a slick thats damn impressive for a tune only 4 banger. Let's see a 5.0 needs a tire,tune and say exhaust to run 11's and now the eco boost may only need the same mods to also run 11's? If so then that little sucker will sell like hotcakes no matter what it looks like. I could only hope Chevy offers a car competitive with the eco boost.

It was said that it is a full weight car.

So Livernois has TWO tunes: one @ 323-329, and one @ 327-427. This only gets more confusing. What rating fuel to get 427 lb-ft?

Full weight means? Weigh it, and tell us what it weighs. I'm sure they have access to scales.

This one is an Automatic, so no FRPP bushings? Full exhaust? Downpipe?

Full details, please.

Livernoise has a post on Mustang6G where they say the car was on stock tires. They also stated that the car was at full weight too and was not stripped. They mentioned that they also had DR's but they made little difference from what I gather.

I read full weight as= nothing removed IE seats, etc.

Lets not get down to splitting hairs about "only 1/4 tank is not full weight". It reeks of massive butthurt.
