New P.B. VMP TVS

[466roller]

Haven't posted in a while, some of you may have seen it already. Ran the car in Bradenton @ the Spring Break shootout and came away with a new personal best in my true daily driven '13 GT. Car is Tuned by Alex @VMP performance. Best part is this is on my daily driven tune. No special "race" tune. Drivability is awesome, trans shifting is on point at both WOT and cruising. It doesn't "stack" the gears under normal driving like others.

'13 GT, '15 Long Block, VMP Gen2, 75mm pulley, Comp N.A cams, E85, Stock 6R80 w/2C converter, P.B.H Max build 8.8 3.15 gears, 325 ET Street R's. Car has stock suspension except for Viking rear shocks and Tig Vision A.R.B. Had a best 60' of 1.38. Car weighs 3950lbs. Hoping to go 9.50's with a few more cam timing tweaks.

Congrats on the new best!
How well do the 325s fit? Any messaging required, or did you have then built rear shortened?

That's awesome! Congrats.

Is the '15 block stock? Who did the work in swapping out engines?

 

[PaxtonShelby]

That's very impressive - congrats! Best color too!!

They do touch the bump stop brackets when the axle is at full droop but no issues at ride height. I ended up removing them. I kept the axle width stock when I built the rear.

That's awesome! Congrats.

It is. I Bought a factory ford shortblock, a pair of heads, gaskets etc. I did all the work on the car, including buiding the rear end. I used my '13 cams, chains, phasers etc.

Did you use your 13 SB and heads for the core charges on the 15+ stuff? Just curious, thought about doing this for my 11.....

Yes sir.

Some may have seen it already but I threw the 72mm pulley on the car and with no tune changes and good weather the car went even faster! There is a video of the car in the video buffet section.

 

[tones_RS3]

That's killer bro!
Congrats.

Very nice times and with a 72 pulley!

Awesome bro! I watched it on youtube. Sick pass for sure!

Donnie, how does Alex get around stacking the shifts like Lund does in his tunes?

 

[WIST2013GT]

Congrats! That's a monster pass for such a simple combo.

LOL, he's spent countless hours in fine tuning the trans shift calibration on the car. I'm very picky about the shift schedule, not only the upshifts but also when the car downshifts and even unlocks the converter for "passing". It can all be adjusted, it's just one of those things that take time and multiple revisions. My last datalog # was 475!

 

[4VFTW]

thats awesome Donnie, congrats. And I have to say the shift schedule on my lund tune makes me wish my car was a stick sometimes...annoying as hell.

Wow, Alex must like you. LOL!! Is it tuned with HP tuners?
