What are the tuners doing wrong?

VERY conservative tunes.

I just read an article on the Roush Stage 3 Mustang. 400hp and a 13.3 1/4 mile. The GT500 barely breaks into the 12's with 500hp. This looks bad, yet I see us regualr joes strapping on your standard bolt-ons making 330rwhp and running deep into the 12's. What are they tuners doing wrong that we arent? Its not a weight issue with the tuners (the Roush weighs in at 3600lbs).

Was that the Road and Track article? While the times for both cars are very 'conservative' (read: pathetic), what was interesting is that the Roush Stage 3 matched the GT500 time to 60 mph and was only 2 tenths off in the 1/4 mile. I just installed a Roushcharger on my own car, along with some GT500 intercooler system parts substituted, and I like it a lot so far. I don't really forsee any problems with the 'bolt-on boys' either. Lol, j/k! Here's a pic:

Drag radials! My car will do high 10's with them. It will do 12's with street tires.
