Ran my SL55 tonight at 12.9 110mph.
They had a test an tune at my local dragstrip tonight and I ran out and did 4 runs.

I found out my intercooler pump is starting to fail..

After each run the supercharger would shut down.

Still had ok runs, once the new pump is on I will run again.

First run

60.....2.001
220..5.522
1/8...8.401
mph. 85.57
1000..10.876
1/4..12.964
Mph..110.50

2nd run


60.....1.976
330...5.515
1/8...8.411
mph. 84.77
1000..10.901
1/4..13.002
Mph..108.52

3rd run


60.....1.969
330..5.507
1/8...8.407
mph. 85.08
1000..10.901
1/4..13.008
Mph..108.15

Lost one ticket, i think it was second run it was 12.9 also.

Don't be so optimistic, I measured a 0 to 60 in 14+ seconds when my pump was running intermittently.

Are you Ghostrider on 6speed? The avatar is familiar ... well, maybe memorable is a better word.

I do but I was in such a rush after work I left with out it..

Its actually a engine scanner that shows IAT's real time. I usually turn it on before the run and watch it as I go down the track. I would love to have had it last night.

I could get out of the car and hear it running I'm thinking the propeller separated from the shaft.. No water was pumping. One hose warm other hand burning hot..

I didn't mention this before but the whole reason I went out was to get a baseline before putting the ASP pulley I have sitting in my garage on. I am glad I did.. I guess I will wait for another testntune stock with new water pump to get the actuall stock numbers..

1.976, 84.77, 10.901, 13.002 @ 108.52?! ARE YOU SERIOUS?!

THESE ARE THE SAME EXACT TIMES/SPEEDS I HAD.

I'M DEFINATELY FREAKED OUT (A LITTLE). TOO WEIRD.

My pump needs to be replaced too and it was about 80-83 degrees.

Has this EVER happened before?!
