As I have been reminded in another thread- Its been done. So now that the obvious has been stated, since results tend to vary slightly, I always like having a larger collection of data to pool so that a definitive expectation can be placed on a given mod. Revan Racing, (Van) and I decided to take this October's Texas Mile to add to the 13-6 data collected, and while the conditions on Friday and Saturday sucked, it did provide us with a consistent condition that gave repeatable results.
I run a 2014 DIB/Red GT500 bone stock. I removed the aftermarket grill, and used no Hella tape for these runs. Its also worth noting I weigh about 280 lbs. and kept the fuel around half a tank on 93 Octane.
My stock dyno was done at Maximum Velocity on October 22, 2013. They use a Mustang Dyno and although it historically reads a bit low, we compared my stock run to two other 2013+ stock runs from other customers and they were all within about 3 or 4 HP and Torque.

Texas Mile results-
Of the two days I was able to run, I had 4 out of 5 solid runs.
Day 1
(Stock)
Run 1 : 8:32AM
1/2: 144.4
1 : 157.3 (I ran balls out to the half, then let off in order to qualify my license. 140-165 required control run)
Run 2 : 11:15AM
1/2: 144.4
1 : 164.9
(13-6)
Run 3 : 3:23PM (Trouble with the new TB meant I had to run this one with the factory TB)
1/2: 150.4
1 : 171.4
Day 2 (Was really hoping the early run would give me a better chance as the wind isnt as bad early morning, but between several blown engines out there and a bad car fire, my first run was almost 11:00AM
Run 4 : 10:42AM (and I'll add they shut the grid down with me right behind another car at the line for glam shots and video promo, including the medivac helicopter spinning its rotors, while I sat in my car sweating my ass off with all my gear on for about 15 minutes) By the time I got to go, I was not in the zone, spun my tires, and cost me a couple seconds.
1/2 : 148.2
1 : 171.4
Then a funny thing happened- Jon Lund got my new TB working, went over my tune, and asked me to run again. (I intended to call it a day as busy as it was, but I wasnt letting his work go to waste) I got in line at 1:05PM.
Run 5 : 4:49PM
1/2 : 153.3
1 : 176.6
I gained 10 MPH at the half, and over 12 MPH at the mile. It seems on the TVS, the biggest gains are low end, but my observation was that stock, it barely gained anything over 162-ish, and with the 13-6 I watched the digital speedometer carry to 179 before I let off, and it was still climbing pretty well.
All in all, I was glad I waited and ran that very last run. This car has 180s in it no problem under better conditions. The last run was flawless from my standpoint. I can easily assume with a pulley, this car will break 190. And I shall....oh yes, I shall.
I want to thank Van and Jon Lund (both Jons) for spending extra time on my car when they really had bigger builds to worry about, Jason Freisenhahn, Sean Musik, Mike Lee for turning wrenches and helping out, Lee Novikoff for having every tool you need under the sun and all the support he constantly provides every mile, Tracy Keller and Tim Lee from Maximum Velocity for always helpin a brother in need out, and the great job on the dynos and just about every mod done on all my vehicles, including Ruckuses and RVs. (Im such a pain in the ass):beer::rockon:
Anyway, you can draw your own conclusions from the data I laid out- temperatures were a steady mid 80s for all but the early Friday run, with ESE winds of about 15MPH. (Cross/slight head) Humidity was high, but cant tell you how high.
I have been to every Texas Mile since March 2009, and our group gets bigger and better every time! Its my cant miss every year, twice a year.
