How come your track days are over, aren't you going to try to break your 1/4 mile record?

That was the plan but in the end decided not to and just "retire" the car. I know my car has a mid to low 10.7X in it especially once I install my SLR injectors to fix the fuel problem I have had since my last track event. Going extremely lean has been causing me to lose power in the higher RPM's and it was very noticeable when looking at my HP/TQ curve on the dyno, but I figuered getting a 10.7X was not worth the effort of going back to track.

Sorry bro, I don't have/know the specs nor do I believe they were ever released unless I missed it. What I do know is that you dont need to change anything as mentioned above and that they are more agressive than the SLR cams. These cams were documented to have HP/TQ gains in the upper RPM range noted in a few threads here on mbworld.

No worries....... I ran the CLK wheels (16x7) with Hoosier 255/50/16 tires. I did a John Force burn out every time, power braked till 800-950 RPM's, and somewhat rolled into throttle. I wish I would have just mashed the pedal instead rolling into it but I was afraid of breaking something. No matter how much harder I launch off the line these suckers will HOOK.

FYI, I will be selling my "drag setup" which will also include the lightweight Kosie wheel (18x7) I used for the fronts.
