Very impressive times! Your car is definitely a monster and I'm sure you'll soon be dipping well into the 10's with a custom tune by Jeremy. That would give Jeremy one more 10 second car to add to his collection of screaming 55's....having 3 of 4 cars into the 10's wouldn't be bad!!!!

11.1 @ 124! On his first night of racing it!
I think, this just adds to the list of satisfied TTM customers. You can't go wrong putting your car in Bruce's hands. Well done Lowpro and TTM!

There were some fast cars last night but by far the fastest was my friends GTR who went 11.1 @123 and Low profiles car which did the same At 124. They were spanking a whole bunch of modded vettes. Loco represented as well. I ran my car last night with my new all seasons and was only able to muster a 12.5@113. I can't seem to get better then a 2.0 60ft. My friends stock C63 went 12.5@110. I have some vids of some of the runs last night and try to post them up as soon as I get a chance.

Thanks guys for the kind words. In all honesty, without this community of hard core speed junkies, I would not have achieved those results last night. In reality, it's just another win for team MB! Naturally, the sponsors are a big part of that team and definitely have contributed to having a successful first track experience. A big THANK YOU to Bruce at TTM, who not only provided his knowledge but offered late night help when other would be tucked away in a warm bed. On top of that, Bruce put me in contact with OE Tuning, score! "satisfied TTM customer"...no...ESTATIC...YES! Another Thanks to hooleyboy who brought a great product to the market (MBH headers), and offered outstanding customer support long after my check cleared. Last but not least, all of you, the technical post, feedback, product information, results, inspiration and overall sharing of knowledge, Thank You! 
To answer some of the above questions. I was really concerned about having my car marked for going too fast. The lanes were really full and somehow I fell through the cracks...the rewards of having a sleeper I guess!
I checked the DA through dragtimes and came up with +182 at the time of my last run, 9:35.

Forgot to add mods:
82mm t/b, w/stock 80mm y-pipe, stock snorkels, wix paper filters (15 mth old)
Chiromikeys old ASP 178 pulley
MBH headers, w/stock secondary cats, resonator and mufflers (installed by TTM)
Prototype TTM h/e
OE Tuning box tune (TTM dealer)
Hoosier drag radials, daily drivers on front.
Some further insight, still have not split the cooling system or hot wired the pump. The first two runs were made with my IATs starting at 120* because pump did not turn on, damn ECU!
In contrast, the final run I started with mid 70's IATs, and picked up 3 mph. I'm willing to bet a fourth run would have dropped my times a little more...just speculating.

I really cant take any credit. As you should have been running these times a while ago. In your case, it just kept me up at night. It seemed everything that could go wrong did go wrong. So with that, I thank you and TTM for believing in the product, and allowing us to make it right for you. If there is one thing I believe in, its treating people as humans and with respect. I can't always guarantee a mistake free experience, but I can assure people... I will never run for them. With that said, Our headers are have since been fitted on many other cars, with the best clearances to date. I can humbly say I couldn't have made my product better with out you, or Bruce from TTM. Between the photo's and conversations with both of you. We were able to find and fix the issue.
Im originally from the Boston area. There is no doubt, This Redsox fan would be driving down to Yankee land to see TTM if I still lived in MA.
