I made 335rwkw with a stage 1 tune today af ratios at 10 so still pretty rich might make an extra 15 or 20 rwkw with a proper tune

Just thought I would update this with my times from last night.

My best was 11.839 @ 120MPH at Eastern Creek. 60' was 1.849.

Full street trim running Michelin PSSs.

Might try again with some R888 on my stock 18s to see if I do any better.

Honestly no idea mate, I havent dynoed it after I put on the exhaust.

Brad (Mr747) has the same exhaust as me and got 335kw atw.

I would estimate I am getting somewhere between 315-325kw atw.

Thats what most Stage II C63s get.

Hey mate, Im guessing you were the guy in the silver C350 I was talking to after every run.

Thanks champ, nice to meet you.

Hopefully we can catch up again at the next meet.

Might go back on the 14th, gives me a bit of time to get some slicks to try and beat the time.

Yeah that's how I generally go to. I find it gets faster and faster. Lighten your car a bit and youl pass me. I won't be heading out in mine until I do more mods. Won't be for some time though.

Yeh just need some practise launching.

Cant lighten it too much except taking out the spare.

What else you planning on doing to the car?

Which car were you in?

I had a chat to a couple of the R35 drivers and the R8 driver. Might have spoken to you.

Yeh it's a shame there as all those hold ups.

I'm going to go back next week.

Hi Charlie,

I sent you another email with details for the 14th and 15th Sept Weekend, The drive day and dyno day, respectively. Not sure if you received this?

Got a few limited spaces for the RWD dyno day, so I'll need the names for the list ASAP mate!

I won't be out at WSID, but shoot me an email when you get a chance: info@t-wd.net

Cheers!

Would be interesting to compare. There is a dyno opportunity for the 15/09 but I don't think I can make it.

3 runs tonight, all in the 11.8s. Best was 11.80.

At least I am consistent but can't break into the 11.7s.

I am only 0.03 second quicker on then Toyos then I was on the PSSs. I thought I would gain more than that.

So there is another c63 that's gone 11.79 from syd. Not sure on full pass details or mods but I believe it has headers + exhaust + tune.

In other news il be driving down to Sydney this week so you may see me around. I'd love to hit wsid, do I need my rego papers if I do?
