12.4@114.5 at Famoso in stock trim!!!
Went to private track day today at Famoso Raceway in Bakersfield. I was pleasantly surprised to see my car pull off a 12.4@114.5mph. Car only had charcoal deletes and filters. Rest was bone stock, and when I say bone stock, I mean street tires, full interior, 1200 miles off showroom floor.
Given my 60ft of 2.07, I think this car just might be capable of 11's as is with just some drag radials and slightly better conditions.
Slip to follow.
Can't wait to see what this bad boy does with the headers and tune!

Looks like a healthy car... few people care to read my signature but if anyone that understands the altitude NHRA will appreciate what I am talking about.
On a diferent subject, I thought you were going to get a MHP tune to match it..

Thanks Carlos. Yes, I was going to go with the MHP tune as well, but can't afford the car downtime right now having to ship the ECU. So for now it's Kleemann since ACGSD can flash it on site at time of header install. Also from what I've seen the Kleemann tune actually performs very well when matched with the MHP headers.

Yes Eric,
I concur with you on your criteria, I don't like having my car down either.... I also heard good tune/header match histories on the Kleeman stage 2 with MHP headers.
My headers will get installed in two weeks.
I haven't been able to do any testing or drag strip trips due to the current rear tires having 14600 miles

Great runs Eric.... you officially have the quickest/fastest stock C63 in the west coast 
In December with better conditions, you may take OE-Tuning's record out of the equation.... watch out Jeremy

Thanks Mo. I think that 11.1 of his will be tough to beat at Famoso, since I have no intention of driving all the way to Sacramento. Do you know what Jeremy's best run is at Famoso?

Looking at your 1/8 mile info is really interesting to me.
The one time I took my C63 to the 1/8th mile track I recorded an 8.18 ET @ 88.0 mph. So, your ET beat me by 4/100's and your trap was faster by 2.5 mph. And my 60' was 1.90. So, your car is a strong one, compared to mine at least.
