Im going to try 15in radials MT ETs next time
Lots of people swear by them and i know a guy with a 2t chev and his running 1.4s so if that car can do it the little AMG can do it also

It TCU needs to be tuned or we need to drop the limit back to factory
if you put headphones on and listen to all the runs you can tell car wasnt liking the RPM extend
listen to the last run carefully and it changes gears in 2nd gear at 4k lol
car will go faster for sure just need to sort out 60ft and rpm issue
The car is half tracking 112 and 113mph which is amazing but yeah some little issues still to iron out

that is insane 747, great job man...
and when it switched to the in car cam for that run you can not only hear where the tranny sounds like it shifted up early but also on the shift before that you can hear that when it upshifts(into 4th at 1:47sec) it sounds like it actually entered the next gear at an rpm UNDER the powerband so there is a "lull/bog/deadspot" where it is NOT pulling like it should because it is having to catch up for about 1.5sec.......listen again guys and i guarantee youll hear what im talking about......but that setup is sick af and when you get the tranny sorted youll be on fire!!!

I heard that ^. Was also wondering what that dead spot was. Maybe you need to be running a higher redline so you can stay in the powerband?

This car needs a good day at the high rpms to make the tranny learn how to shift at the high rpms
JUst small little issues that need to be fixed its just so hard to test on the streets at this power level cause all it wants to do is smoke the tyres
we cant even test on the dyno as it feel like it wants to break the straps
such a pain 1st world problems

Question....
were you resetting the adaptives before each pass? If not I would give that a shot...my Merc always pulls hardest when I first reset them, and I mean reset them in the staging lanes prior to a run and then let that ***** eat up some track

I'm curious...how does your car respond off the line without that normal half second delay that the MCT inherently has? It looks as though you've got a conventional autobox that just responds at the moment you hit the throttle.

Did you have any issue getting the tune done by International Auto House since they are based in Sydney and you're down in Melbourne? I'm just really impressed that it performed so well if it was not even tuned in real time if that was the case.

Magic take a look bud
Celicasaur I don't have the problemmmy car uses torque converter not mct

really astonishing man. Is it me or do you notice your bonnet starts to lift on the left side of the car at high speeds. Perhaps if you used masking tape during your runs to close off the sections where air is lifting it up, might help during your runs with better air flow over the car and probably a small fraction difference in time. If you do it, just monitor your temps. But for 9 seconds thats insane. You probably pushing the same power as that black C63 in the other post you made. Congrats
