Luke is at it again!!! This time we've surpassed the 10.8 mark, we are now in the 10.7s!!

At this point Luke has over 20 10 second passes out of his stock turbo, stock motor, stock trans (10r80) PIU!

Just an incredible feat. What's even more impressive is this was all done for less than $25,000 including the car itself haha!!

Remember, this has 135,000 miles on it, too!

Back to back to back to back to ......etc 10 second passes. Not a one hit wonder

Laid out all the 10sec slips.jpeg


And finally the mod list:

If you guys need help with PIU tuning, or planning a mod path, I'd say we have that lane well covered! As always, happy to help!!

Not only are all these 10sec passes, he also trapped 127mph dead in the middle of summer. Again, on stock turbos!

This is big turbo territory. In fact, there are more slower big turbo cars than there are faster.

very nice runs. Is that a mistake or does the PIU with the 3 liter twin turbo actually come with the 10r80 contrary to what a bunch of ppl have said on here in posts.

All PIUs have the 10r80.

Dead in the middle of summer…52°
Show me anyone else doing what we're doing, in August, on stock turbos, at the track....I'll wait. Or actually, show me ANY other stock turbo car in the 10s other than a GooseTuned car this summer.

You don't have to say good job, but you also don't have to say anything at all.

Remember, the hate doesn't make us any slower. It actually made Luke want to go from a 13.5 to a 12.5 to an 11.5 to now 10.7 in 5 months time lol...when is that side going to see the hate is only motivating? :giggle:

Remember, it took 5yrs for anyone else to do what took us 5 months.

Shall we continue?

And there’s the novel because you think I’m attacking you. Give it a rest, Winfield.
Yes it’s summer…on the calendar.
52° is not summer weather in the vast majority of the country. You know why other people aren’t out doing it? Because is 100 freaking degrees like real summer….not your 52° I’m gonna call it the dead of summer because of the calendar. I’m in Montana right now…it’s 90°…that’s summer. 52° is fall weather. And nobody cares about the 5 month thing you live to trot out. I swear I’m gonna go buy a freakin PIU and throw all my crap on it in a weekend and go run a 10 just so you have to stop saying that. lol
You know why it took others 5 years? Because we started modding these things from day one when there was literally zero aftermarket support. People had to wait for everything that’s available now. If you had started back then like the rest of us instead of picking it up when all the stuff was already on the market it would have taken you just as long also. And FYI it didn’t actually take 5 years…just another exaggeration from you.

So how are we not supposed take advantage of 52* when others are totally not hassled posting their 7* -4,000 DA and nothing is said? Not only is nothing said, it's encouraged.

You've got to understand how ridiculous that sounds, comparatively.

Just because Luke isn't in 90* weather, and you're not in 117* weather like I am today doesn't mean we can't appreciate what's being done here.

Nothing wrong with taking advantage of 50 degree weather. Brittany did, 343 mph is amazing.

Back in the day, I had a 408 Stroker Cleveland that ran nitrous (N₂O). When 50 degree weather came around, it ran like it had 10 cylinders and an extra gear.

I think the only thing being picked at here is when 50 degree weather sounds like it's the temperature range most people expect to see in the middle of the summer. The season played little part in achieving that great time.

Goose, your record stands and should be congratulated.

Yeah!! That's the best, when it all comes together!

For sure, and I completely understand that. 50* is epic weather for the summer. It definitely played a part.

Track night I got to watch him pick up ET and MPH as the temp dropped from 70 to 60s. We ran out of time to take the official record unfortunately. Then 2 days later he knocks of another 1/10th and goes 4mph faster lol. This dude is going to take the official record no doubt.

Thanks man, much appreciated!
