Actually, Acicchelli has the following 60-130mph MB runs:
RENNtech SLR: 6.65s
Stock SLR: 7.24s
Amazing times! It just goes to show how the SLR is built for high speed roll-ons. Even his SL65 with all the RENNtech mods ran a 7.48s...which isn't exactly slow...but can't compete with the mighty SLR.

The car made a 60-175 run this morning and it improved from 22.54 seconds and 4375' all motor when we ran 180.73 in the mile down to 18.84 seconds and only 3684'!! According to the v-box we began to run out of juice about the 115-120mph point. Nice improvement though.

Well, nothing exciting to report. It seems as though we have achieved the limits of the stock tranny. The juice works but the tranny will not shift in auto sport mode. We even backed out the nitrous to end at 6900 and it still would not shift. However, it works fine in manual mode. However, I suck at driving in manual mode. 
We only got four runs in and I can't drive in manual. I made one pass that was fairly clean and Ben got one run that was fairly clean. Here's the real kicker. My pass was 11.533 @ 128.11mpg and Ben's run was 11.533 @ 128.64mph. Yes, I said it. Both runs were EXACTLY the same times.
Mine - 60' was 1.838
1/8 mile - 7.636 @ 98.15mph
Ben's - 60' was 1.862
1/8 mile - 7.658 @ 98.88mph
Strangely similar.
The fourth and final pass we brought the nitrous in in first gear. That was a kick in the pants and it launched like a rocket with NO traction issues. However, it banged the limiter in every gear.
Its late and we'll get it ironed out.
We did have an issue with the nitrous I'll ask the nitrous guru's to answer. Every time we purged the nitrous we got a lot of air. Even back to back purges gave us a good bit of air. During all the runs it seemed like the nitrous was coming in and out but we can't prove that other than the seat of the pants feel. Suggestions on what the problem could have been?? Both bottles were freshly filled and had 1000psi on them at all times.

Good job man. I've been exactly where you are now about a year ago. 612 rwhp but with a smaller shot and no fuel cell. I had the same problem at the track...(at first 
) All that power and can"t show #'s at the track. NOW we are seeing another AMG 63 with High RWHP but not great track #'s.. I have found a lot out about running nitrous on these cars over the past couple years. you are on the right track ... Some day You Jcart and Me will have to hit the track and BLOw some sh*t up ... Keep up the good work

Hi Keith,
I would have thought that with your son working for Andy at MHP as a forum salesperson that it would have ensured you get special treatment from Andy.
But to discuss the issue of automatic transmission related tuning, I suggest we move the discussion into it's own new thread.

Not to stir the pot, but some of you, can continue to fight over tuners all you want, and we'll keep setting records.....

Traction is def. not the issue at this point. The car is hooking better now than it ever has. The nitrous is set-up as a progressive system, and we're still in the testing stage of figuring out where is the best place to start in with it. The 11.111 run last night had the nitrous coming in while still in 1st gear, but only a small amount and ramping up in later gears. The car is hooking and pulling stronger than ever. With the heat and humidity here in Florida right now, we're not disappointed at all with the results. A little more testing and tuning, and some colder weather in a few months....... Oh yeah, it will be FAST.

DA was nasty during that run.
Density Altitude: 1965 feet
Relative Density: 94.37 %
You're looking at a 10.861 @ 133.55 MPH corrected.
Imagine if you were running in the NE in the winter.
