FINALLY, FINALLY, FINALLY. Here's the video. You'll see Amen pushing me the entire way. I'm convinced that he ran into the 11's but my car seems to have tripped both beams.

Thanks to everyone for their support and help on this quest for the 10's. The E is officially retired from drag racing. The nitrous kit now comes off the car. I made a deal with God- "Dear God, please let me get 10's on the spray + Kleemann motor without blowing up and I promise I'll never use nitrous on this car again."

Here's the recipe in case it can help anyone:

1) 2005 E55

2) Kleemann Stage 2 from Chris Chapas with C2 Designs in Tampa (amazing guy with Disney World customer service)

3) Kleemann LSD from Chris Chapas

4) 16" CCW Classic custom wheels that clear the caliper by MM's

5) 16" Mickey Thompson Street Radials @ 14 cold PSI thanks to the CCW wheels. These hook even better than the BF DR's.

6) Air filters removed before run. From a certain someone on this board.

7) Air pressure in front tires increased to 48 cold PSI.

8) NOS Ford 4.6 liter dry shot kit fashioned into a MB wetshot by Tim. Tim is an amazing master MB mechanic who can build anything. You can't find my nitrous kit if you tried it's so well hidden.

Have fun and let's see something under 10.95!

Derek, was that run without a helmet??? My track kicked me out for not wearing a helmet and I was only running 12teens.

JamE55

Holy Sh*t!! Very impressive! At what point did you hit the spray? Amazing!

DerekFSU

Yep, no helmet. You're supposed to wear one if you run under 14 seconds per NHRA. This track is rather relaxed although I still should have worn it.

DerekFSU

Jam, I hit the spray as soon as I hook up. You can almost tell when the car squats and really takes off. I hit it asap.

WOW! Let me pick my jaw up off the floor! Congradulations!

JamE55

Kind of what i figured because i did see the car made a noticeable squat. That was simply amazing! A 4-Door Luxury sedan doing 10.95 1/4mi! You are the man!

p.s. Here's the video proof!

WOW! I lack the words.

Unbelievable Derek! I am very happy to see you cracked the 10s. That is just unreal to see a 4door 4,200lb car move that fast.

Congrats!

I was standing on Amen's side of the track when you two made that pass, we all kind of knew it was in the bag the way that pig took off.

Congrats Derek, It makes me proud to be a fellow E55 owner.

How many total 1/4 mile runs have you done since completing K2?

FL Zinc

My guess is somewhere around seven hundred fifty.

Marcus Frost- how do u like your S4 so far? It sounds like a hell of a car - I'm sure it will be nice to have in the Chicago winters as well.

OMG!! That was so awesome.

Now time to mod up the M5!!

Congrats!!! Absolutely Phenomenal!!!

Besides the NOS, (and your driving skills) what do you think helped the most? Was it the MT street radials or the LSD?
