I think Blackbenz has the record for W208 at 11.4. He has Kleemann kompressor and headers and some other mods.

Search is your friend.

For now I just want to get some get the most of out my car stock with DR. I know Chappy ran 13.3 100% stock. With good DR I have mickys, I'm hoping to go around 12.8/12.9. I have heard that good tires can take off .5 second to a time.

blackbenz, 11.4 is really nice congrats dude, you place your time on http://www.dragtimes.com

What kind of times where your running stock and what do for the best lunch, I need to get a better 60 foot. Also what speeds did you trap at?, thank you for all your help.

Thanks guys Much faster times to come in the fall... guaranteed

I didn't buy the car stock so I never ran it stock. Drag radials help alot if you are currently spinning off the line. Best thing I can recommend is practicing the launch. Do a nice big burnout on the d/r's to heat em up (not necessary on street tires). I usually power brake to ~1200 rpm on the launch. I have yet to master what rpm to launch at so play around with that. Every car will be different given the mods. Some people even say its best to launch off idle. My best time so far was run last year and it was 11.48 @120.5mph with full interior (minus the spare). Since then I have added the headlight intakes, VRP cams, an ice reservoir for the supercharger circuit, lighter wheels, 1.5 PSI more boost, and a wet 50 shot of nitrous. I am doing a custom torque converter and upgraded valve body soon as well (within the next 3 weeks).

If you have the money I would get someone to build a custom turbo kit with fueling and tuning, build the engine with lower compression, build the trans, and get beefier axles. Two GT35R's on a 5.4L V8 would be a MONSTER! 1000whp wouldn't be impossible and 9s car is within reach .

Badass!!! Are you going to run a baseline 1/4 mile pre and post converter/VB to see how much it shaves off your time or will it just get mixed in with all the other mods?

Anxiously awaiting your results.

Thanks! I cant guarantee I will be getting a baseline run. I am very impatient and am a big fan of instant gratification lol. I will try to get some baseline runs but I hate going to these test and tunes and waiting forever just to get a couple passes and then getting kicked out if I get a good pass. My last runs were post cams and were actually slower than previous, could have to do with weather and the fact that the car is already hot by the time I run. When I ran the 11.4 I had the track rented and could just go up and run whenever I felt like it and it was in December with very cool temps. If I remember correctly my best time post cams was 11.54 @ 120.9mph but it was at least 40 degrees hotter out. That was pre intake and pre ice reservoir

I will definitely keep you posted. If I dont break stuff (i.e. axles) and can get traction I think the car will go lowwww 11's (without nitrous)
