Do you have a slip yet for your 11.7 time? I feel like this is like the time you said you dyno'd 435whp at Eurocharged with no proof...

Hmm. I never received the Dyno slip from them. I emailed ,but no response. The time-slip is in my boy's car. Just never got around to getting them. All my times are on Draggy. Do you think I am being dis-honest why I need to prove something?

Not that I don't believe you, I've seen the numbers on the Dragy, but we've seen times differentiate, even slightly - it'd be interesting to see what you actually ran at the track. No different than what you made on V3, we're all similar, but it's strange you never have evidence to back up claims.

Not to start a war, I'll just wait to see your time slips. I'm heading to the track the end of this month so it would be nice to have something to compare to.

I've seen this, it would've been nice to see apples to apples on the dynojet, since it's what EC runs our cars on.

My 11.78 run was on 93 octane. The Dyno was on MS109 race fuel. I agree with you.,When I ran the 11.7, I was spinning. I am fairly confident that I can run an 11.5 or 11.6. I just have BMC intakes and a V3 Eurocharged tune. This is WHP

For sure? You should base it on the trap, a 117MPH trap should be high 11's, maybe mid 11's if he runs race fuel and gets a perfect run.

Anyone running a JB1 on their C450 and can post slip times here?
Curious as to how the C450 would fare in the quarter with a JB1 given its got the 7-speed.. am actually suuuper close to pulling the trigger on this.. Just want to hear some more from the C450 guys.

Dyno numbers are sure cool to talk about but they are tools that work off relative readings within that dyno on that day.
And no timeslip, no count

2017 Mercedes-AMG C43 coupe
This is my first time taking the car to the track. I am using 91 octane pure gas (no ethanol).
Stock 2017 C43 Coupe with 10k miles. 18” wheels with stock run flats.
55 degree temp
traction control off
sport +
automatic shifting
about 1/2 tank of gas
probably brake boosted to 1500 rpm at launch. Would have liked to launch at higher RPM but everything happens so fast up at the line.
I feel with practice I can improve slightly. The track was too busy to keep trying. Too much waiting around.
