The info on dragtimes relative to the temp was off by about 10 degrees. The DA started out at about 700+ and then hovered at 1000+ for the remainder of the day. We had a few issues with some of the cars: bad dif, broken axle, Tom did his own "TMC" job on my wheels I did not run my car hard, im waiting for Nov. to really push it. I made two runs with 19" street tires. My best was with ESP on and off idle launch, this is also my best street tire run ever.

Tom, you do have a tune correct? Eventhough it may not be completed ....Very nice times. Yes, you are officially the 3rd fastest CL65 at least until Nov 15....

By those standards I only made 5whp post tune. Under the curve counts for ALOT

I guess torque stayed the same as well....isn't what's under the curve more important than peak HP, perfect exmaple is Ahmad, he only gained Peak of 5RWHP but a woooping.. *Bleep* Bleep* Come on....you said it, it's not about Peak HP homie...lol!

Hey...no need to thank me for lightening your wheel.... like I said instead of a CNC process it was a TMC process...let me know when you ready for me to do the other wheel....

Once again...I apologize.... but remember your liver is a dependent of mine...there might be a custody battle brewing if you don't forgive me....

Tom

Not so good. Broke something on the first pass. I think its the diff but Pat said it may be a CV or wheel bearing. We shall see. I will have it fixed ASAP since I do NOT want to miss MIR in Nov. And traction was nonexistant. My CCWs should be here any day now (were supposed to be here last friday! Grrr). I also have a problem on the 2-3 shift. It bounces off the rev limiter several times. I dont know why.

That is a lot of torque most likely...your car is making a lot of power buddy...things are prone to braking, lol!!

My passenger side axle broke this time out which is normal for me. If I had been running well I wouldn't have cared as much. This axle broke after a slight tire shake at approx 60' where the traction compound wasn't as thick and the track was slicker. I said all day that it felt like the track had a banana peel after the 60'. All it took was a slight bang and that was it. Now the entire rear is new and both axles will have been replaced. Whoopee! My best run of the day was 11.54@120 and N20 didn't help at all as the car hit every torque limit on shifts. When the car hits these torque limits or it detects slippage it completely shuts down for about a second or so. Arrgh...it is very irritating when it happens. If you have thoughts of changing the transmission fluid...please have a very good reason to do so as my transmission has shifted horribly ever since. It is bad enough now I need to shop around for a new 722.6.
