We're doing a Test/Tune in Northern Indiana on August 30, 2008 for a Pre-eastern Tune-up!!! Get a hold of Jerry at LET. He can set you up!!! The Chicago contingent has it all figured out. We're going to run some slow times (called= Sandbagging) in August so that when November and cool weather rolls around, we look like we only got faster!!! There will be some C32s running in the low 12s. Maybe some Srt-6s in the 11s too!!!

I am already signed up for that event at US 41, check the attendee list. I was supposed to be there last Saturday but the event got rained out and re-scheduled to Aug 30th.

See you there

good god, is that the type of people we're going to be partying with? i guess i'm going to have to see my barber and ask for the east coast special.

btw, by the time this even rolls around all you east coasters will be trying to keep up with an e55 with 85k miles on the odometer. that'll be like losing to one of the mandelbaums if you can't keep up!

Nightmare in coordinating all of this but I needed someone I can trust to do the job right. Cory at Kleemann has done a lot of these installs.

I realize no increase in HP, but I hope it will accomplish 3 things:
1) Help in my launches to consistently get at 1.62-1.70 60'.
2) Beef up the rear end so I don't break it at MIR or NED next time a launch aggressively
3) Break the all motor record of 11.340 at MIR for E55's.

Stay tuned..........
to address the original post...

1. won't change a thing on launch times or consistency (in my experience).
2. definitely helps prevent grenading the rear end and axles (in my experience).
3. i think that will happen several times throughout the day!

no way dude. if you end up in some place like Seaside, and see someone like that, hes on vacation from NY.

JRCart: see if you can get your hands on the specs for your axles and have Moser Engineering make you a set. or you could also send them your originals to duplicate, obviously not as convenient though. think of it as a $500 insurance policy. not sure how the axles are retained in a Benz rear, i would think and hope that they are not c clips.

Ahhhhhh...... I can smell the title already
Where is the support from East Coasters. Are we gonna take this crap from the West Coast. I think they are getting over confident. All they got is 90 degree and high altitude for exuces.......It never ends, blah blah blah.......

Well, we got a little surprise for you, and it comes in a WAGON!!! Imagine being beat by a unsuspecting E55 WAGON. That will be more humiliating than an 85,000 mile E55.

Sea level, 50-60 degree weather, NO DIFFERENCE, West Coasters going down.

Go ahead, bring a wagon, bring anything you want, I'm not loosing to anything with four doors...except maybe a heavily modded S65 tt that can run sub 10:80's. I've got a few other tricks up my sleeve that I'm not going to being making puplic until the event. I'm not driving 15 hours for the hell of it, I'm bringing the title back to Chicago with me!

As for the weather, no excuses here, I have the current e/t title for 63's and set that record in Chicago at 82-85% humidity at nearly 650ft above sea level. The way I look at it, traveling those 15 hours is like free horsepower and according to everyones calculations is going to be worth 2-3 tenths.

All the smack talking is what will make this event great. Imagine how stupid I will look if I go out there and run slower than I do in Chicago...that's the kind of luck I have...and you guys will never let me live it down. I have started a SMACK list of everyone who is talking smack (pretty much everyone) I have a few grudge match I want to see happen, this is going to be great.
