2AMiGos racing (E55K vs C32)

OK, I got the tape, recorded, and was ready to post this morning but this place was down

Anyway, here it is! Enjoy 2AMiGos racing, E55K vs C32 Stock

here is another run from the E55K, running 12.143 @ 116.92 mph!!!

This is the E55 before mods

Thanks to James Cannon (owner of this killer E55K) and his friends for recording these images!

Thumbs up 2 AMiGos racing

Thanks to Pocholin for his diligent effort. Hopefully we will collaborate again in the future and improve the video quality. But if this isn't hard evidence on behalf of RENNtech's quality and reputation then nothing will do! Be happy! By the way, how about that E55 top speed video? Maybe Pocholin will help me make one in my E55K RENNtech, wouldn't that be cool?

Hey Pocholin, what a hit!!! Hanen't seen a comment from E55kev, maybe you should e-mail him your link. Anyway, this should give the Kleemann guys something to shoot for. Talk about your hard data!!!

Ok just saw the clip and it was kind of amazing. Just wished the camera guy could've shot the clip better by being closer to the car. No matter still a good clip. Great job James!

Hey Guys, thanks for thinking of me. I am stuck in the Information Highway using dial-up modem at home. So, I can not view the videos until Monday at the office. I know it is hot. Thanks.

OK, this is no Kleeman of Renntech, but at my very modest budget it is an improvement

Have you had any suspension mods? Your car seemed to hook up very well, with no wheelspin at all. Very impressive.

Well, it does work, but when I tryed to use them I spun both times!!! So I do belive they work, the 13.209 was with out the aid of cold packs, the track was packed I was only able to do 5 passes all night, otherwise I wold've tried again on the cold packs.

Unhappy 2 AMiGos racing

Hey, E55kev, are you gonna take that kind of abuse from Fast Eddy? Anyway, how did you like the video? Street tires and you can hear them squeal in every gear. That's what 440 RWHP can do. By the way, I received my dyno test results, stock test was 305.5 RWHP and 330.5 lb-ft torque. After supercharger mods, 440.7 RWHP and 437.2 lb-ft torque. Looking for softer street tires to get as close to 12 flat as I can. Any suggestions?

Not much to say it speaks for itself - That E55 is awesome? I just viewed the videos today (Tuesday). I have been out of the office since the holidays. Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving.

James, what about trying one of these on the rear:

Toyo T1-S

Nitto NT555 or NT555RR Drag Radial

Michelin Pilot Cup

You may get better times going back to 18's. Those 19's may be too stiff for drag racing.
