yes i am 100% sure it was from the tune and thats it, i drove the exact same way i did the prior run. i dont ever change anything when i run the 1/4 mile. and who says that 7/10's equals 70 hp???
i am the one that said it...and it is true.....every tenth in the 1/4 mile is basically equilvilant to about 10 hp....or 100 lbs/ in weight reduction.......so for you to have dropped 7 tenths off of your 1/4 mile time,you would have a.)either gained about 70 hp with the tune(which is highly doubtful)or b.)you shed about 700 lbs. of weight....do some research online and you will see that i'm right...
i am not trying to knock the tuning,but do you really expect us to believe you gained 7 tenths from a tune?????i mean 2 or 3 tenths is very possible but 7.... 
well i did and its proven i have time slips at home to prove i gained 7/10's with his tune, yes i got a cf hood but that only saved like maybe 20-25 pounds i belive. and i am not confused its easy to read 15.99 then to a 15.24 in the same track conditions,weather,same track and all. nothing changed but the tune.

7 tenths is NOT 70 horse power when you're talking about 15 second range. Math does not lie neither do power speed calculators.

no, but a 16 second csvt is far from normal. there were other factors in his initial run that we either don't know about (driver ability, etc...) or he's not telling us.

ok mathmetician then YOU tell me how much it is then genius...
ok now so even though we have told you those speed calculators are waaaaaay off period.....so yes they do lie.....and its been a drag racers rule of thunb for years that 10 hp or 100 lbs. of weight reduction is worth ABOUT a tenth...it is not 100% accurate,but probably alot closer than these online calculators are...
and actually it is alot more accurate in the 15,14,and 13 second range that a tenth is worth about 10 hp or 100 lbs....because once you get in the 12's and lower it takes even MORE hp to lower your et's ......

power speed calculators account for perfect traction and perfect weather. I know about the 10 hrs 100 lbs rule of thumb.
will someone please share how to post vid.

well then both of you mathemeticians and drag experts tell me how much hp it takes to drop 7 tenths then,without using innacurate online calcs.....
and like mx said a 15.9 is a ridiculous time for even a stock svt...period....was this your 1st time trying to drag????i mean what were the conditions etc.?????
do you have both time slips to post so we can see both 60ft.,1/8,mph's etc.????anyone could go out and run ridiculously slow times in any car....and alot of people's 1st track times can be bad as well....
but what we are trying to say is that there are alot of variables you are leaving out...and without all the info your claims are bs.....
i don't care how good a tuner he is it is NOT possible to knock 7 tenths off your et with nothing more than a simple tune it just does NOT add up period....you are claiming ALMOST a full second from just a tune if that was possible don't you think everyone would be beating down sct's door so they too could drop almost a full second from a simple tune????
i am not saying you didn't pick up 2 or 3 tenths,but 7 get real.....there's some driver or other factors involved period...

wow that was quick you already got a vid huh?????you seem to be pretty good at finding online calculators and such so it shouldn't be too hard for you to learn how to post a vid...and when and IF you actually get this video proof,i am sure someone on here would be most happy to host it for you....
edit oops mx beat me to it...lol...
trust me you won't have any trouble finding someone to host it..
