I doesn't seem like you had such a bad time considering how low your MPH was. You are down on power somewhere, considering the list of cooling mods and decent track temps you ran in. Take a look at my slips to see where your MPH needs to be to have a similar weight car get into the 10.xx range. Maybe the track prep wasn't the best for you, but I noticed If I couldn't get both tires to spin for the burnout then I would spin off the line launching under load. That's the joy of fighting the open rear. Good luck on your quest.

They are decent for a ecu/tcu 600, not the mods in his signature. I think my euro fllashed 600 should go 118 here in Vegas. Any pre mod dyno numbers? Car needs to be data logged and dyno tuned. I threw on these intercoolers and intakes and had the ecu compensated for them....and picked up 1mph. and I went from 91oct tune too 100octune and added tcu. I don't think the intercoolers are needed with stock turbos. and you could have fabbed up your own "track only" intake for about $150. I paid big money for this setup and did not get desired results, Threw in the towel and tapped out

W215 V12TT Build by Speedriven, W221 S550 4Matic
Grip Grip posted a link. I will fix it.
Thanks man 
I got both tires to spin fine. I know car can go a 10 sec run with an improved 60ft and also a bit of messing around and making sure its running correctly. Track prep was terrible everyone was saying it running that day. I didn't spin on the 1.75 60ft I was just lacking the power down low. I dropped it back to 1st when I lined up at the tree. So was def not going out in 2nd.

i think if you can dalalog the car during the 1/4 mile run it will provide some valuable info. even if you simulate a 1/4 mile run down a empty street it will help

This is Markos car with same mods and no rear tank if Im not mistaken. this is a 65 however. This car is using SCORPION INTAKES and holds the stock turbo record if Im not mistaken.

Yes def, but I have to see what I can do. I'm trying to go 10s because I dont think any other stock turbo 600 has gone that fast yet. 65 is a bit dif. so I will stick to competing with the 600 class.

Kamil, Marcos 65's wastegates were modified to run 28-30 psi on those runs.. Def made the extra hp to net those somewhat higher traps, at 129+ mph 2-3 mph higher than Jody's cl65 w/similar mods is still not as high as it should trap w/whp ran on Marcos car.. The 65 turbs can be modified further than 600 turbs.. Each psi is worth 10-15 whp conservatively.. 600 turbs max at 21-22 psi
Marco made nearly 700 whp on that setup.. I know the faster dragtimes record trap he ran at 130mph lists his rwp 691 rwt 900+ but also lists psi at 23, he obviously didnt update that part as he made a big thread back in the day about modifying wastegates to run 28-30 psi w/that actual dyno I can dig it up if needed? Marco even had the 28-30psi listed in his old Signature w/those dyno#'s..
These mod to mod comparo's also don't factor track used, prep, DA, etc etc..
I applaud your efforts & updates.. Sorry about earlier text I was feeling heated over my build etc..

I had no idea Marcos car had modified turbos and so much work I can see it now. The HP and TQ numbers are to the wheels not crank correct? Looks like it will be a long journey for me but I think I'm not that far away with an improved 60ft and also a few more MPH should have a very close run to the 10s mark.
I will be heading back out to the track this coming weekend if car is ready to go, if not I will def be going next week sometime. We will see how the numbers turn out then.

Where did u get those and what did they cost each if you don't mind me asking...just envisioning getting rid of my four place massaging heated cooled reclining seats and all of their related pumps etc and replacing with five of those recaros, car would be a lot lighter and more practical cause I'd gain a seat! Practicality in an 800hp daily driver!
I got these from a local guy that sells them here I can call him if he has anymore cause when I was there he had a few sets. I will PM you price and specs once I call him. Custom brackets need to be made to make these fit and Marcin will be doing that as soon as he gets some free time. Once they are test fitted in my car he will most likely be able to build them for yours. I have no idea what the brackets will cost since he has not seen what is involved yet in getting the seat to fit. For the front they should work 100% for rear I dont know about clearing head and above width of new seats. Hey your car is there and my seats are there. There is a way to find out
