Haha!! It was me, but I wasn't VR600, then. We were in making jig mode, so the car was missing parts and had a crap tune on it. I was jumping him everytime but he would start to walk no matter what. Again, he has the smaller EVO pulley so that makes some sense to me now. I've had cooling / headers / tune done since and it feels better but I still wonder if the added heat is an issue....

Jim ,
Thanks for the kind words, I really enjoyed hanging around the WORLDS FASTEST 63, and it's dedicated pilot!! I am 100% confident not only you hit 10's but your going to smash it once you get the ever so elusive clean run. That 1.61 60ft time, only to have the car not shift or to let off , its going to click and when it does I m thinking 10.79-10.83. And yes 130 will be obtained.
I envy you, your ability to press on, adapt and keep your goals in focus despite a large negative contingent, awesome stuff bro.
Maybe Rick will take me to MIR !!

I am starting to wonder how much my trans, rear-end and axles can take, I made 13 passes on Saturday spraying right out of the hole on at least half of those passes, a 1.6 60' must be putting enourmous strain on my drivetrain, but the car just seems to be laughing it off...keeping my fingers crossed

Been following these threads and have been wondering the same thing. Just how tough are the driveline parts in these cars...? In the Offroad world I play in, I've blown up several engines, 1 tranny, 2 transfer cases, multiple CV joints, multiple u-joint yokes, driveshaft slip splines, 2 rear axles, 3 front axles, too many locking hubs to count, leafsprings, steering boxes, several ring gears, several pinion gears, sheered axle shaft splines, etc. mostly due to high torque engines turning big tires... Eventually, something on your car will give up due to the abuse...
Eventually something will break? Yea like records!
Its easy to talk from the sidelines.. Try getting on that horse. I will tell you this. If you get on.. You best know how to ride it.

I know...... I couldn't stop laughing when the person at the staging lines were telling them it's only a 1/4 mile race guys 
Rick and Bryce, that race was one of the best and funniest ones I have witnessed in a long time...... lets do it again

How much HP do most of those E55 AMGs make that run mid-high 11's at 122-124mph? I am assuming a stock one runs about 114-115mph, so about 100HP more than stocK? Is that what a VR600 package is? About 600HP? And what would the WHP be on the stock/modified cars?

I think most 600 package cars are capable of running low to mid 11's and 550 should be mid to high 11's. In the right conditions I believe my car has a 11.3 or so, thinking is one thing but doing is another. BTW...I haved VR600 package.

Also, good thing I didn't drive to Sacramento this morning, the recording said test and tune was cancelled due to rain. Next weekend is supposed to be beautiful, just wish it was a little cooler than 59F, and the weekend after its cool again, but rain is in the forecast for that Saturday.

my stock trap speed for the day was 116-118mph
100hp more then stock sounds about right.
not sure about the last question but, stock e55 dyno at 410-430whp. I think octane plays a big roll.

510-520whp for about 122 trap speeds. 540whp is my guess for 124mph trap speeds in a e55.
my stock trap speed for the day was 116-118mph
100hp more then stock sounds about right.
not sure about the last question but, stock e55 dyno at 410-430whp. I think octane plays a big roll.

Just as reference. Last time I dyno'd my car it made over 100whp less than what you make and my car probably weighs no more than a few hundred pounds less than yours and traps higher than your N/A. Maybe the dyno just reads REALLY low

I would say your dyno does read very low, every stock Black Series baseline dyno figures I have seen have been between 415-425. For the record I have trapped as high as 126 N/A but that was obviously a pass where I spun up the tires, bad 60', high trap. Even Johns (ET55) trap speed are in the 122-123 range and his car has similar mods and similar dyno numbers to my car.

Ahmad, I think yours and my thoughts on dyno numbers are the same, we only use them as a guide when gauging improvments with different mods. A dyno sheet does not mean squat in the real world, time slips tell the real story. I would maybe try a different dyno just to see what they come up with, but I would continue to keep going back to your old dyno shop whenever adding a mod, that is the only real accurate way to monitor any improvments. I would think that your car would be putting up numbers closer to 500, but who knows? What is the exact weight of your car?
