Prepping Car To Run 10's

Does anyone knows if DEREKFSU's was running slicks/drag radial when he dipped into the 10's.Also what stage was his car built to,and how much NOS was he shooting?Now that some of the cars are going off warranty,we need to push the limit on these E55 and see what they will do.

I am pretty sure the mod list goes like this:

- 16" CCW wheels w/DRs
- 125 dry shot
- K2
- Kleemann LSD
- no airfilters

He wasnt even running the 80mm TB which would have definitely helped him...

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!

Do you know if any timing was taken out when he ran the 125 shot of NOS?If so,how much timing was taken out?
