2012 CTS-V
The last couple of weeks i've been theonly C63 there. There was a CTS-V and Z06 last week
running low 11's at over 128 MPH.
I guess it won't be 100% accurate because of the different
days but the weather is supposed to be pretty similar to
last Friday night.

Renntech air box update!!!!!
Just wanted to give a quick update regarding the
Renntech air box.
As I mentioned earlier I picked up a used Renntech
air box to compare against my Carbonio and after
last night I am convinced the Renntech is superior
in every way.
Here is just a little tease from last night.
11.85 @ 118.37
Imo the box absolutely works as advertised.
I'll post more info once I get all the data together.
I may start a new thread.

The weather was in the mid to high 40's and the DA hovered
around -100 all night. Just to compare, last week when I ran
an 11.94 @ 116.61 the temps were in the high 30's with a DA
of about -1100.
So, this box works. If I had the box during last weeks outing
I may have gone 11.6's.

I've said it before and many people didn't believe me, but the RENNtech airboxes (both kinds: the ones for the 55s and ones for the 63s) do produce extra power - unlike the Carbonio which appear to be only for looks.

I'm a believer. In fact, I had four runs last night and three of
them were sub 12 second runs.
Run 1: 12.151 @ 116.29
Run 2: 11.972 @ 117.39
Run 3: 11.850 @ 118.37
Run 4: 11.933 @ 117.89

Normally I would be all over this Atco trip but Mondays are out
for me, too much work. Fridays and Saturdays are better for me.
I listed my new run on Dragtimes and forgot to put "Eurocharged".
I updated it this morning, should be there later today.

This car really does everythingon it's own, not much skill needed other than a good burnout
and good tires.
I firmly believe my new personal best was possible because
of the RENNtech air box.

Proof RENNtech Air Box Works!
Track Data proving the RENNtech Air Box is the real deal!
Here are all my track times from Island Dragway over the past
couple of weeks. DA as per listed on Dragtimes.com
**The RENNtech air box replaced the Carbonio on all runs that took
place on October 29th. The first run was attributed to the ECU adjusting
to the increase in airflow. As you can see all the following runs were sub
12 second runs and the increase in trap speed is a clear indication that
the RENNtech air box is making a substantial amount of power over the
Carbonio.

You definately get 3 runs and if it's not too crowded you may be
able to get 1 or 2 more. In my experience track prep has always
been pretty good.
Thanks.
I picked up the airbox used and boy was it worth it.
