As far as I know, the quickest one is "urnext88"s car. I believe he ran either an 10.8x or 10.9x at the 1/4mile.

I need to get a drag set up then... I think those numbers are obtainable & from what everyone is telling me expected with this build! If not then it is tear down time, sleeved block, rods pistons, & WT or TT

Haha you are crazy my friend. In all honesty though, I think you will beat those times. I believe he dynoed at 670TQ if I'm not mistaken. What are you doing in terms of weight reduction?

Hahaha I just checked my facebook and got a good chuckle. I'm thinking you should replace the 100lb seats we have in our cars with some recline-able carbon fiber seats!

I had looked at that B4 but the problem that I have is sticking with AMGs like CLKBS or SLRs... what you have in mind?

The Rottec seats are a steal at $2300 a pair! I might go with them some time in the future.
