good trap for just a tune but that 60ft needs to be atleast in the 1.8s with street tires then 11s for sure!

Ok cool, car is still moving though. When you put the headers on and take the car for a ride you are gonna grin from ear to ear. It's better than when you put headers on an e55 and even that was great.

That dct tranny is tough at the track.i took my bros 507 a little over a year ago and its nothing like the the prior trannys. I think my best was 12.0 @120 in bad weather. Car has MHP headers V5 tune and row. A good friend let me borrow some drag radials and I could not get the car sub 2.0 60ft. I tried three times, got pissed off and left

Yea tonight was the same I was spinning so bad then bogging then shifting to second and bogged while the car was trying to figure out what to do.

I was just trying to get an idea of trap speeds since 60ft was out of the question.

It's crazy how consistent these cars are.i did 6 back to back passed tonight and every single pass was like 117.3 ish and was running same on every run.actually the car was getting faster and faster with every pass.

On the e55 I would make a run then sit there with ice on the blower lol for half hour

I haven't been to New England Dragway in years. I haven't been in my C63. If you are having traction problems would be curious to see how car runs in Comfort starting out in 2nd gear. Or drop rear psi to 22-25 psi and do a really good burn out.

From what I can remember poor track prep.

Best I got was 12.0 @ 118 with a 2.0 60ft corrected it was like 11.7 @ 119.8 or something and that was before the newest tune, throttle body mod, intake spacer and intake mod. The car also was not running 100% spark plugs were messed up amongst a few other things.

I hit the track up tonight...not really happy with results I barely picked up 1mph on street tune 93 oct with full headers on the car.

My xpipe might be not working well with the stock h pipe in the resonator and I have not put the car in the Dyno yet.

I ran a new Vette 3 times and he was trapping 114 and ran a cls63 5.5 twin turbo all wheel drive 3 times and smoked him.

He was trapping 112 all night.

How much different were the running conditions to the last time you ran? The x pipe to stock resonator situation wont affect 1/4 that much

Tune maybe?

Pretty close conditions maybe a tad better last time.

The only difference between then runs is I had a half tank of gas this time vs 1/4 tank and the other time I had stock pzero 255 tires and now running pzero 275s out back so they are a little heavier.
