Buschur Racings Stage 1 upgrades

Ok My question, or concern...take it as you may, is regarding this-

Ahem from Buschurs site

At this point in the buildup, you should have spent no more than $1200, if you performed the labor yourself. Your car will now be nearing the 300hp mark. A really well-tuned Stage 1 AWD car can achieve ET's as quick as 12.40's at a trap speed of 109mph with these simple modifications.

How the hell can you tune a car without an afc (which is a mod) or a datalogger, FPR, etc.?

I dont get it. Is there a link somewhere hidden that I am missing? Maybe something that mentions, a datalogger and afc of some sort are a give in and are required to tune? 12s on race gas are achievable, but pump? In california we get 91 super synthetic hamster piss. I emailed them a while back about this, but got no response. I did notice this was new though.

Take your car to as much as 300hp - and click off low 13's to high 12's in the 1/4 mile!

Disclaimer perhaps????? I am not bashing on buschur, but I am a little concerned that this info may be mis spread and fall into the wrong "mentality"

Please enlighten me on this new form of tuning?

Buschur created his stages probably mid to late 90's. Before AFCs, Before dataloggers, before a lot of things. This info is a little outdated from what is available today but I don't think it is impossible to hit those #s. Buschur did that is why he lists the times and hp. I am sure other old school dsmers have as well.

Buschur has always went to the track on race gas. You go to the track to race so you use race gas.

Those numbers are quite attainable with Race gas, lots of boost, and some weight reduction wouldn't hurt.

I used to question times like 12.4 on a 14b ad common bolt ons. I would be VERY happy to hit that with my mods: 50 trim, 660's, 2.5" mandrel/no cat. Spearco 2-221 FMIC GM MAF-Translator. Wideband a/f, Scanmaster. heck even i I need race I'd be happy. They could be talkng about motors with 10k miles and not my 109k miles also. Best case scenarios are usually listed. 12.4 stage can get a guy discouraged if it isn't his car!! Mark
