Or, would you prefer I say I don't like something having never tried it ?? LOL At least I can say, I speak from experience...

BTW, If I ran as horrible as you did down that 1320, I would have given up on drag racing too So why do keep going to Willow Springs? Is there anything your good at?

One more thing, drag racing only requires about 10% (if that) of the skill road racing does. Take that from a guy that does both and does both well on a regular basis. Drag racing an AMG is probably the easiest vehicle in the world to drag race. Any moron with one hand, two feet and an eye can lay down consistant quick times in an AMG.

What about R/T's has nothing to do with HP, A 1000hp AMG can lose to a
123hp YUGO, in as far as R/T goes, the guy with the better skills will always get better R/T's. Oh, and by the way one foot is all you need

I've done my research and spent lots of time talking to many others WAY more informed than you about FI for the 63. You wanna make this about apples and oranges....go right ahead but I'm not gonna stoop to your level and engage you any further. Not worth my time. The fact that you would even consider lowering compression with a head gasket to add boost speaks volumes about you, your knowledge, and that ricer hooptie you drive.

I guess my modded engine has the same CR as an E55K. I was hoping that mine was lower than an E55K so I can add even more boost.

I agree that a thicker head gasket is a very bad idea according to the experts I consulted with.
