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.

We'll wait around to see your track slip.

Here is a Dyno run I did on race fuel.This is on a Dynocom which reads slightly more than a Mustang or Dynojet. I did the math and its about 30whp and 30wtr more.

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.

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.

Just an FYI- The time will vary depending on track conditions,temperature and the current DA at the time of running. Next time I go to the track I will post a new time

@ maximus0076

Those are whp? If yes, than this is over 500 engine HP
What oder mods have you done?

11.78s was with race fuel or on 93 ocane? Because with over 500hp you should run better times for sure.

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.

Wow, so a stage 1 tuned C43 gets pretty close to a stock C63 for a lot less $.

Yes and absolutely, yes.

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

Anyone using 91 octane? what times are you getting?

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.
