Yes I'm sure you saw one of the 1.5x 60' launch. I thought I'd use this event to get a hang of it again and just take it easy and bring it back next time for full tilt and a fresh set of plugs. :-)

My first few runs were in street trim 20psi boost ran 11.3@121mph because I started braking early. It was a 1.60 60'. From there on the spark plugs kept getting worst and I just added some more octane and turned the boost down. I did click off a 10.8@126mph though with a 1.56 60'. My previous best here was 10.60@133mph before I got bigger turbos.

Appreciate your compliments. I usually video tape my runs and put them online.

What was your best time that day,et and mph?

My hats off to you! Myself and the others were watching your car closely,making sure we never got lined up against you! lol

How extensive is the list of motor mods on your car? I was very impressed on how it ran.Did you ever go heads up with the yellow C5 blown vette? Or the black C5 zo6 vette? I tried to take down the black one but spun the tire and he ended up running his best of the day(11.6@124?)He was pulling me pretty hard on the big end too.

I have a built bottomend from specialty Z with forged internals, slightly overbored. Heads are mildly ported and race cams and springs. Redline at 8k. Two mitsu TD06-20G turbos rated ~400hp each. Fuel system consists of stock pump and bigger lines using 850cc injectors. No nitrous or traction/launch aiding devices. Also 4.10 gears. Tial 48mm wastegates with custom 3" exhaust piping.

I did race a black z06 on my 10.8 run. He ran 11.8@122mph. Looks like he redlighted but I still got him by .4 sec at the 60' mark. LOL

On the run where we were close you were correct , you bested me on the start and that is why you beat me by .0018. Scan the slip of that race, I was car 8193.
That was indeed the closest race I've ever been in, but it was also the funnest.... Here is the time slip:





I'll post the other slips in the "Best 1/4 mile 63 thread"

so my car was a bit faster but you bested me at driving.

you jumped to a .038 lead

my car made up a bit and actually had the better trap and ET but you WON the race. .0018 LOL, photo required.

I actually raced your car on the 12.59 run and beat Amir with a 12.80 due to a much better reaction time. I am car 8193 for those that like to study time slips

Thanks.

I thought there was some vids of us racing but not sure.I thought there was one of me and the M5 running.The 300zx was flat out fast,no way around it.I wanted nothing to do with that car all day long.The black c5zo6 tore me up as well,atleast on the pass we lined up with each other.He trapped 124 to my 118.Fully modded motor in it.

Mine has a ASP pulley,ic pump,heat exchanger and 80mm TB that I put together.Very low dollar mods that I put together myself.
I'm following your foot steps...

I should have my bigger HE soon.

however... probably won't be ripping any 1.70's anytime soon.

E63 Vs CLS 63

E63 AMIR VS. Juicee63 CLS 63,

This shows the importance of coming out clean. This race was usually so close but for some reason when this run was filmed Amir suddenly slipped at the launch , guy still ran 12.8@112. This was my 12.6X @112.53

Okay Juicee, here is my time slip for the 12.593 second pass. When I used NHRA table at 1200 ft elevation, it gave me a 0.9874 correction factor, which calculates to 12.434 @ 112.87 but I want to see your full DA calculations.

Also, correct my personal run; here it is typed for now, and I'll scan it later:

60': 2.032
330: 5.507
1/8: 8.354 @ 86.93
1/4: 12.836 @ 109.98

Also note that my car's highest trap (112.32) was on the 12.60 run not the 12.59 run.

By the way, is that 12.59 second pass the fastest uncorrected stock time for an E63 yet?
You ran really well!!

After looking through everything I started to realize that your car trapped great and made some super passes. Corrected you are #1(1/4 mile) and #2 (1/8th). So your 100% stock car seems to be faster than the ECU tuned cars. Whats crazy is your car is silly fast through the 1/8th mile then seems to level off rather than picking up through the back half. Keep pushing this car and I am certain she will suprise all of us.
