Nice job Derek, I knew would do it sooner than later! I will be headed to the track in a few weeks. Do you recommend that I remove the filters as well as deflate the rear tires to around 25-28psi and inflate the fronts to around 40-45psi?

No purge valve, it was a temporary install.
Hammer, on street tires I wouldn't let out much air, if any. I don't know much about street tire pressures. For the front, jack'em up. I did 48 cold.

Awesome car, setup, and driving!
I'm hoping for a similar pass in my S4 this Friday Night.
Marc
P.S. Anyone know if the E55 AMG motor/trans/supercharger/rear end/etc. will bolt in a 2003 C230?

were you going for the record? did you have a feeling you were going to get that time?

Sarge, that was AMEN in his E55. It seems that my car somehow tripped both lights and thus he didn't get a time. He was definitely flying.

After I doubled the shot and ran 11.13 in July weather, I believed we could get 10's with it being a bit cooler and dryer. You saw Amen cut a .03 light so I knew I had to spray it quick.
