You might be a great salesman, but you showed your cards too early...You might have left something on the table, but not nearly enough to be a threat to my times...remember, I left a lot on the table too, I have an additional 80hp of NOS to inject and need to plug in the NOS only ECU. You probably left 2-3/10ths on the table, but so did I
those 2-3/10ths = 11.40's for you and 10.80's for me.
Congrats on cracking into the 11's as well as taking the CLS crown.![thumbs](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif)

Try going to a meet Sean. That is where we see the cars and talk. Lists don't always tell the most up to date story....

Hey guys,
To all who made it. I will make it short, I am Beat. I ran those #'s on a STOCK TUNE
The MHP Tune was not ready for Famoso. Like Andy said, Very hard to break in but I am 100% sticking with MHP tunning. I have talked with Andy and his staff of Techs and they are by far the best I have spoken to and trust them very much. I would Like to thank James and staff for all their knowlage and many long hours with the NOS set up. I have added a cuputer controlled NOS shot system that is no joke. Also James felt it Just wasn't ready or safe to test so the Nos also was not ready. James drove from S.D to the track (5hrs) plus flat tire and towed in, he still managed to show up and install a manual NOS switch right there at the track Just to make sure I could use it for the event ![bow](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/bowdown.gif)
Now that's a shop you can count on... I keep hearing "VADIM'S TUNE" as far as I know Vadim DOES NOT TUNE. it is a powerchip tune flashed for VRP (Victor) Please some one correct me if I'm wrong.
WE MADE IT HAPPEN GUYS

I am more than willing. I don't need much done, but I just want to see you treat more and more people like this. You know me, I just wanna drop by the shop and check out some cars and that cute dog. I know you never intended what happenned in the first place or even how it turned out between me and RennTech. Things do happen and we just need to get over them.

Maybe we can finally hit 11's, the DA was positive but only 300-700 feet. I should have gone faster and will not make the wheel mistake again , plus passenger seat can easily come out now, and I will be talking to Tony at Voltphreaks on a new 2 lb battery. Plus Chris is gonna work on a new rear end, no not talking bout the ladies jim...The 17th will be incredible as I predict sunny and cool and hopefully the reciept of the crown back. At the very least Rick and I need 11's N/A..we are both within a few hundreths.
By the 17th the MHP tune should be available and maybe we get a C63 so Joseph can show off heads up with his M3. I know you guys have more pics and vids , POST EM
Jangy...
Andy
Ricks car ran 15 times in a row with absolutely NO noticeable decline in performance. So the 180 stat and spacers help . Anybody looking for a worthwhile mod that 63 180 thermostat and Spacers seem critical.
On the 17th what will we limit to, lets definately have a cash race(bracket) foir the Famoso 17th championship challenge event

Who makes these 2 & 5 pound batteries? Electrical and CCA's is not an area to mess with. With all the electronics on these cars now days I would be affraid of frying my electrical system or ECU if something went wrong with a 2pound battery. Are these batteries something you just bolt in on race day or can you use them for everyday use? My 16 pounder is used everyday with no issues to date.

The actual weight is 6 pounds, you can use it everyday just do not leave bluetooth or your radio on w/o engine running. They have about 20 minutes then DEAD.

Which battery did you use? I am a little confused since my SL has two batteries one in the front and one in the back.
