Thanks! It might be mine... there is one other 12 second Flex, but seems the video of mine has been making the round! LOL! As far as mods, it's very minimal... basically a simple axle back (MRT Ver 2.0 FTW!!!), lighter 20" wheels and methanol injection with a custom tune! With those simple mods I've gone from 14.2 stock to 12.95!

Oh, cool, so it was a turbo and how was the tune handled? I heard that was the biggest obstacle, was to get the camaro computer to be tuned/programmed to accept and work with it. Or how ever the term is called.

Vince at Trifecta overcame the encryped ECU/computer... the other hurdle is the high pressure fuel pump...

Now imagine if you could stuff the EcoBoost in your Camaro! Figure the Flex is about 1000 pounds heavier and a lot less aerodynamic! Easily in the 11s!

As far as stuffing the ecoboost into the Camaro...that'd be sick, but I think we have a few guys running around here making ecoboost like numbers....I think we will see some 11's before long
