Albert and guys,
I went to Dragway 42 tonight (about one hour away from Norwalk Raceway). I wanted to see what my car would run since I resolved my CEL issues and installed the VRUS airbox/intake tubes. I was also a little confused as to why I could not pull on Andy.
I was not impressed with my track results. I ran a 12.1 @ 119.67 (similar traps on two runs). Temps were low 60's. I have not trapped this slow since my initial K2 install. Is it possible the airbox could be slowing me down?
I know of another 55 member that showed less hp with the airbox installed.
Draw your own conclusions with the new info but there is no need to point out the obvious.........like my lack of driving skills.

It looks like some data-logging is in-order. It certainly explains a lot, Andy's car on clean run will trap a little higher at the track so the traps are very close.

Not too sure that I own the fans around here much of anything.
But, I think MIR would be fun especially if the west coast AMGs go. We'll see. I am hoping to but still lots of "what abouts".....

Rarfinancial is paid up and confirmed for MIR, I think he's a west coast guy. Do you get your car back today? Let us know how she runs, let me know if you've got anything for me.

I do get it today (hopefully) and I'm sure I will have plenty for you. Not saying I will spank or anything, but i think it will be an interesting race that will lead to other discussions........gearing.........
It is funny how you assume me to be a hater of the 63 when it is such not true. ALL of the hate between us started because you had words put in your ear and then I asked about your car. I was genuinely curious what mods you had done to gain nearly 100rwhp because that is HUGE. You took it as me calling BS and there we went.
My car is now a stage 5 E55, which is pretty common these days. You really that eager to run it? I've always wanted to run people side by side. I don't believe in relative numbers, etc. It is simply how I grew up. I'd like to run you just to see how a VRP tuned E55 plays out. If I lose, I'll turn to Vadim anyway.....

No idea and I'm tired of calling as it doesn't seem to be getting anywhere. I've been told multiple times, as I've passed on to the forum, that it's coming. Well I'm also sick of waiting. The only thing I can do is post it when it comes in. Sorry.

Jrcart, Jangy... it is nice to see you guys back. I am considering starting a pool to see how long you both play nice. Since you both have a lot to add, I hope it is for a long time. Z
