**Huge Congratulations to Kathy Whittleton-Tyler on Crushing the Explorer ST Record!**

We couldn’t be more thrilled to celebrate this incredible achievement! tuned by ZFG Racing LLC with HP Tuners top-notch fuel from Nostrum High Performance , and the razor-sharp airflow engineered by CR Performance Engineering , it’s no wonder the new record was set!

All this power is seamlessly harnessed through the ZFG RACING spec built engine, showcasing the perfect blend of innovation and talent.

A massive shoutout to everyone involved in this monumental effort! Your hard work and dedication truly paid off! Let's keep pushing the limits!

You don’t get 0-60 times on a 1/4 mile slip.
The 60’ time is 1.51

This is incredible! What kind of dyno numbers is she pushing? Also, where does one get details/costs on the ZFG RACING spec built engine? Is that publicly available?

I forgot to ask Adam, but is there any other items that aren’t available to fully finish out a built drivetrain? I was thinking the only thing really missing would be an upgraded driveshaft.

Yeah there isn't a drive shaft available currently but there will be and the rear end I'm sure is going to need some love at some point.

Here is the current stock turbo record for an explorer st, note it does have the fuel system and upgraded transmission.


There's a handful of other people that have draggy in the low 11s high 10s with stock fuel systemsand stock trans. But they are typically not full weight.

There's an also an Interceptor out there that is completely gutted and even the weight they say it is in public is 400 lb lighter than a normal St with the seats removed, an it has a 10r80.

So low tens High 11s is really the exception not the rule for a stock Turbo car.

Biggest limiting factor towards why something that has a built engine and a built transmission and all the supporting mods is still only running a 10-3 is the fact that it is still a stock housing Turbo, the housing are way way too small it's honestly a miracle that we can get 750 horsepower out of those housings. That will be addressed in the coming months!
