I ran a 12.8 @ 110 in Colorado. DA was over 9000, I had 20" wheels and spun FOREVER. At this altitude you essentially add a second to your sea level time. In Florida, I'd click off a high 11. If I could hook up she'd run a low 12 here!

There must be a lot more guys in low 11s to high 10s. The w211 E55 AMG guys are going fast. Maybe i just dont know the platforms all that well in the CLS cars but times should be close.

CLS55tt, congrats! What did you use for rims/tires. Too bad you cant run a few more lbs of boost, that car should run mid 10s.

Hoosier drag radial 255/50/16 that everyone uses. Rims are a 16x7 rim I found on tire rack discounted to $49 dollars each.

I haven't had a chance to take it to a dynojet yet but if I had to guess I'd say under 700 whp.

cls55tt I like those num's. Congrats man! My CLS did 12.9 1/4 mile after my motor conversion. Still bone stock. You have me tempted to call powerhaus!!!!
Not sure if you are familiar with my build but I'm running stock 55 motor with a 7 speed tranny. Thinking I need a stronger tranny before I move forward.

I thought the 7 speed tranny couldn't handle the torque of the 55 motor? How were you able to do this? Thanks
