Who knows, there are too many variables that go into it, just like you noted. Hell, their clocks may be off a couple mph, as it was proven by another member here that was showing a 9.1 in the 1/8th with a 2.5 60'.

Y2KSVT your mph is higher than mine because you are putting more horsepower to the ground. I cant believe that this guy DEMON knows SOO much about our cars but doesnt believe me. im not lying! im proud of my times so i post them to share and then people bash! DEMON LEARN HOW TO DRAG RACE then talk! If your car runs 13.40s maybe with a GOOD driver and a GOOD track it should be faster. My time slip looks like a rear wheel drive car? WTF!

Are you positive your gains were from the chip and not driving? The average stock CSVT should pulle low-mid 15s easily.

um ok so unless things have changed in the contour world,then this guy is claiming 14.6 out of a basically STOCK svt??? i mean come on guys,you guys with built 3 liters are running those times,and he's claiming to do it in a basically STOCK svt.... come on your mod list consists of NOTHING to add much power to your car....i mean sct flasher,cc cai,trubendz y pipe(stock catback),no maf screen,8mm wires,BOSCH plugs(terrible choice for a duratec)and to top it off all on 18 in. wheels....i'm sorry but it just doesn't add up at all period...those are miniscule mods,that might have added 10 15 hp maybe,but with those mods you claim to be almost a full second faster than a stock svt..... just to put it in perspective my '95 mustang runs 14.2's and that's with 225 rearwheel hp,and 285 rearwheel torque with a weight of 3250 lbs.....i just don't see you being only 4 tenths off of what i run....only being slightly lighter,and having quite a bit less whp,and probably 100 less wtq,and fwd...i just don't see it...maybe the timing system is WAAAAY off at your track.... i don't see haw his car with minor mods is almost running mid 14's,when MOST people on here with similiar or even MORE mods than that are still stuck in the 15's...and i find it hard to believe that it is simply driver....tons of people have similiar mods and some even more and yet they all seem to run 15's....

and not to mention 7 tenths would equal about 70 horsepower....which i HIGHLY doubt would be possible from a simple tune...

Norwalk Raceway in Norwalk,Ohio is one of the best tracks in the country, the timing lights are NOT wrong. They host many many national events there every year. The horsepower calculator on my Dads webite says I should have 200 horsepower. http://www.boxperformance.com/tbox.htmcar weight w/ me = 3225 (weighed it at the track)ET= 14.67 MPH=92.6 how is 200 horse to the ground not believable? Ill be at Quaker steak this Sunday. for any non believers I have no problem bringing my balls with me.I90 is 500 ft away. Friday at Norwalk right off the highway with a cooler in the back I ran 14.90. O did I mention it was 90 degrees and humid. heres a drag racing hint- ICE is your friend.

the HP calculators are usually off, especially for the typicaly FWD platform. I know for my truck for example, IIRC, it says I should have ~450ish hp, when in reality I have 380....

Because you've got minimal mods. I think Demon(and not to say you couldn't get more out of a 2.5L than he did) was putting down I believe 191whp with his 2.5L, and he had PnP heads, headers, true duals, port matching, tuning etc.. To put down 200whp, you're needing a little more than what you've got done. Believe me, I'm HOPING for 200whp on my next N/A dyno, and I'm running a 3L with full exhaust(MSDS headers + y-pipe & Bassani catback) and full intake(CTA pipe, 65mm T/B, 10" K&N) and an X-Cal 2. I would be lead to believe that your mod list is a lot longer than what it appears, if you were really in the 200whp range.
