Q: Kleeman K1 1/4 mile times
just wondering if anyone else here has done the Kleeman K1. and have 1/4 miles times. i know most of us 55 owners are bit older and just don't find the time on weekends to run their cars, i being one of them, but i was hoping there may be one in this bunch who has. just curious.

Please note i have an LSD from AMG which has also been modified by Kleemann to allow upto 60% slip....this is essential in getting better times, horsepower alone is not enough!!!!!

I am getting my car back later today with cam/headers...hoping for high 10s on drag radials.
