took the e55 to the track.

Modded with stage 3/4 evosport on 19" ps2's. I was at irwindale 1/8th mile track.

Best time of the night was:

2.021
5.336
8.017
91.31

My previous best when it was stock was with a 1.8 60', I ran an 8.00 @ 88.XX. It seems that now, it's harder to launch which is killing my ET, but the MPH is good, definately shows a HP increase.

1/8 must be really boring.

Your comment makes me feel a lot better (especially coming from a pretty good driver). I'm generally around 1.9 to 2.1. I am now realizing that when I hit the 1.8 (second time at the track), that it is probably the best that I can do on street tires.

Do you have your 650+ hp car back yet?

I would try telling that to the guy that I was right behind on my best run that ran a 5.83 @ 124.

1/8th mile is fun, 1/4 is better, but to get to a good 1/4 track in socal, I have to drive 140 miles.

Yeah, I have it back, and drive it every day, but I am still waiting for a couple more parts to show up, so that I can add a few more ponys to it. I figure it should be completed within the next month or so. I just need to find some time.

Nice run. Sounds like DR's are going to be a necessity!

Nice.

I flip back and forth about doing the grill. Can't decide.

Give us your impressions of the evo cooling package (how long has it been on the car, performance, noise level if noticeable, etc.)

I haven't seen any before and after data to have an educated opinion.
