Tony, did he do that in his GT or a customers?...He emailed me last year about a tuning job he was doing up in Indy for a GT....ended up setting a record speed...

 

[JTS VENOM PERFORMANCE]

It was his personal GT




"drove it from my home in SA to the event and home right afterwards. No trailer action here. "



Speeds on my runs were



44b Ford GT Torrie McPhail 219.17 218.77 221.7 220.85

Hey just wondering if that was the "top gun run" they just had near me! Doug from dlm wanted me to take out my twin turbo srt10 to run against the other trucks. I ended up not going but from what I saw on the web site at topgunrun .com it was a 1.5 mile run!

 

[bigike]

I wonder if we had the engine managment the ford has would we be better off?

The tunning business pays well! Congrats on the run there bucko!

He was developing a tune for SCT for the 2010 Taurus SHO the last time I talked to him. Had it doing low 13s with just a tune and no other mods....was trying to get it into the 12s.

While Torrie is one of the best Viper tuners around his real passion is Ford. He is one of the few (maybe the only) Ford factory parts dealer that is not a Ford car dealer. His tuning career started with Fords.

Great run Torrie. Is it true there was another Ford GT than ran 254 MPH? It is my understanding that the owner of that car was called out by the former record holder, a Supra that ran 246 in the Texas mile.
