LET E55-11.59 w/street tires+stock manifolds
I'll post up the slips in the morning, but I had 2 PBs tonight.
I went for a last-minute evening T&T at US 41, and got in 3 runs.
The temp was 78 degrees.
Trim: 3/4 tank of gas and Toyo T1r street tires aired down to 30 psi
LET beta-trim: Pulley, Heat Exchanger, Custom tune, TB.
1st run: 11.99 @ ~118 coming out soft on a 2.0 60'
2nd run: 11.75 @ ~119 with a 1.8 60'
3rd run: 11.59 @ 118.7 with a 1.673 60'
I went 3-for-3 against trailered cars. That felt awesome.

Great times Chicago!!!
Regarding the LET heat exchanger and pump, I (and a MB master tech) put one in my car last week and to be honest it was not an easy install. The unit is not specifically made for the E55 and the biggest problem we had was mounting the unit. The upper aluminum wings do not fit nicely into the mounting position. There are other bumper brackets in the space that impede it from being a perfect plug-in. We got it done but it was not fun. I have not put it to the test yet but it sounds like it's working for you.

In light of all the recent BS being posted, I need you to clarify the statement above please. I have highlighted the phrase in question for your convenience.

He (a buddy) installed it in my garage so I felt like I kind of helped him. Are you happy now Mr. Albert The Ball-buster Rflow?

***edit. Got too much into sales mode. Sorry bout that guys. Forgot to give Wayne a . Just amazing what some of the cars are doing now.
I just installed the Code 3 Exchanger (bout 2-3 weeks ago) and I was blown away at how easy it was.
I have an 03 so I was able to put in the 7inch. Friggin thing is a monster.
No numbers to share as I am getting too lazy in my older modding days, but was very impressed at the install. Bolts lined up perfectly and BAM, done.
For a shadetree like me, it was easy and THAT's saying something.

Thanks for the compliments, guys. Launch technique was per the sticky, rolling into the throttle, ESP-off.

Yes, we spoke to Erick the day of the install. We, I mean my tech
installed it without removing the bumper.......... maybe that was the problem.
I have no gripes with the piece as it is beautifully made and obviously... it works.

Thanks again, guys. It always feels great to beat a PB.
Slips
11.99:
First run against a trailered LeMans. He spun, then got out of it.
11.75:
Second run against a trailered Mustang running 11.6s. We got a good launch, he missed a gear, shut down. They mistakenly entered my number as 22, instead of 32, on this slip.
Third run was against a trailered IROC running a little bit of nitrous. He came by after the run to ask WTF, shaking his head. This was the best race of the night.
R/Ts weren't terrible....0.01, -0.02, 0.06.
