just got back from the track i ran a 11.7 @ 121 on 19" street tires and IATs at 154. adam will post the video in the morning when he gets home.lol.
i cant wait untill i take my car back to euroelites to seperate the the IC from the radiator. ill probably never run DRs again since i have a street car but it would of been nice to have them today to get a 11.5 oh well. thanks adam and tony.

His IATs are still too high. Above 130 I believe the car starts to pool timing. We need to find out what his adjusted time would be.

JUICEE WAKE UP..
ITS ALREADY 8AM ON THE WEST COAST. CAN YOU ADJUST ROCKETS TIME FOR US...

i dont have a scanner but my 60ft time was garbage 1.9 when i ran DRs i got many 1.7s
im not sure but i dont think F/I cars get corrections besides i dont care about thoes this is where i live and this is where i would race someone. so it is what it is.
car still falls down on the back half although it didnt that much this run but i could still feel it slow. im 100% positive after i seperate the 2 systems it will run faster. my next test will be with this done and im gonna run 20inch rims.
if the coolin works out im gonna add in vics new cams, speed shift, and 1 last secrete. that should get me low 11s on street tires

Your 60 foot was 1.9. You have a very fast car. Post the slip when you get a chance.

You have a very fast car to run that time on a 1.9 60'!

Why wouldnt it turn out like it should? All the people on the list have already paid so they will probably show up. There will be alot of video and pics taken as well. I wouldnt mind making it an annual event. This is th ebiggest one i've ever done but I do one lane rentals from time to time.

He was likely real close to sea level. Sac is only 50 ft above seal level. I do not think I can correct for his IAT's LOL. Hey, Mr. rocket is this not what your car averages 11.7@121? I thought you ran this when we went to Sac? Or did you improve your top end 4-5 mph?

yup I agree..

last few years we have been talking about adding "Power" easily.. but we need to focus how to keep the power.

Specially for drag strip days or "airport shoot outs"...

It's also a tuning issue IAT vs Timing map. I have a feeling Mercedes new the bosch pumps were not super reliable and made the map very conservative.

With big pullies, Headers (no primary Cats) and ECU you can get to 500RWHP !!!

My car pulled 620.9 at the crank runing super rich before...with that combo...
