Congrats on the great numbers Alan! I am sure you will get it next time.

I agree that Alan's car will LOVE the east coast or any of the faster tracks. Sac town is notorious for HORRIBLE prep. The fact that he can cut nice 60' is amazing in itself.

Alan neither runs nitrous nor was looking for a cheat.

I definitely think it's faster but not by much right now. Like you mentioned, I still need to finalize my tune and try again in similar weather. I'm hoping that PC will be able to make it up soon to get me all dialed in.

I need to see if PC could help with my 1/8 mile times. In order to get better ET's I need to improve in this area. One thing I won't do though is sacrifice my top end for more lower. I'm very happy having a well rounded car that kicks a$$ in all areas.

Thanks Angela! I'll keep on hoping and trying but that last 1/2 of a tenth is a killer, at least for me. Regardless my car ran very consistent and I'm very happy with it's performance overall.

Thanks Jangy! Yeah, I'm sure my car would run a little faster and quicker back East but it might be at a higher price then I'm willing to pay. It just cost so much money to take time off of work (new job...), transportation, and whatever else comes along with racing back east. Not that you're saying I should take my car there but I'm just saying. Sacramento will give me my day sooner or later and when it does hopefully my beast will be running well.

Thanks for the support on not using nitrous. I don't think Rock was directly implying that I'm using drugs but more curious how this is happening, at least that's what I got out of it. Either way, for the people who think I use nitrous...THANK YOU....

Being bummed about 11.0x's ???

Wow... great times. Very consistent too - I bet thats due to the rear tank.

Get the right track prep, DA , hook up and your there. Just need things to come together...!

Have you fiddled with the EGS yet? Maybe sharper shift speeds where the engine timing is not momentarily retarded to allow for a smooth shift? That might be worth the 0.05x you are after... if not more.

Good Luck!

Sorry for the disappointment that you felt after the track. That track looks ghetto in your video!

131 trap, close to 10's and an incredible 60'............................

Better DA, a finalized tune by Jeremy and you will smash into the 10's!

The KING still reigns and that is you Alan........Lets spray that b!tch!!!

Hope you are feeling better now bro!

JosephLINY-E55

Great runs Alan!!! For all practical reasons you will be smashing into 10's with a better track and better da. Come out to the Right Coast and you will be be into the 10's no problem. Alan, you were so close that I would be thrilled, nothing to be disappointed with at all. Best regards, Joseph

Sacramento is more than ghetto.... LOL.... I used to get that comment a lot after we posted some videos of our runs from a few years back.

Using Mickey Thompsons are the only way to get any consistent 60' times at Sacramento..... without MT, you take a big gamble as to how the track is prepped: sometimes it's somewhat decent but most times it's not (again speaking in terms of non MT style tires).

Alan, your 10 second run will happen before the new year regardless of Sacramento's cooperation.....

bassn_07

Thanks Bruce but I'm definitely no king, that's for sure. The only reason why my car is getting some attention is because all the boys back east, down south, and Arizona hasn't had a chance to run yet. I just can't wait to see what all the ballers do - E55baller, Chiro, Nate's car, Benzgal, URnext, Benzboi, and all the other fast a$$ E55's. I'm not counting Ahmad's car because he's in a league of his own .

Thanks Steve. Make no mistake, I'm not bummed about my cars performance but more so about being so close to 10's once again and falling short . I do believe my car ran the best it could that day and I'm very happy with how consistent my runs were. I had only 3 runs above 11.0x, actually 4 but I'm not counting my last run because I let out of it for a brief second...I thought I broke something on my 1300 RPM launch .

Thanks Joseph. Time will tell if my car has a 10 second pass in her.

BenzoBoi

Absolutely EPIC my friend! You'll be in the 10's VERY soon!

I don't stand a chance!

bassn_07

Haha...quit down playing your beast Sun. I know you and Serge will have that sucker running just as fast if not faster than most of us.

I honestly believe we'll all be very close and I look forward to running with everyone again.

BenzoBoi

Hardly downplaying my friend. Yer car is an absolute monster! I'll be lucky to be anywhere near your time!

I look forward to the day we all get to play again. It's gonna be FUN!~!

blackbenzz

You WILL run tens my friend. Just a matter of time. I was stuck at 11.0x's for a bit too but you definitely have the mph to get you into the tens. I know you wont give up so I dont have to tell you not to lol. Good luck buddy I think at least 5 E55's will go tens this winter off nitrous. As long as they take the cars to the track!

V12Godspeed

Any given day I will see your slip that says 10'S!!!!...Just a matter of time... 10's are right around the corner.

bassn_07

Thanks guys. I know it's a matter of time but it does get frustrating...LOL. My car needs to pick it up on the 1/8 mile times and I'll easily be there. I had a really good 60' time with a so so 1/8 mile time. I spoke with PC and they want to get my car back on the dyno and get my lower end tuned more precisely. I'm going to rest my car until some much cooler weather comes, I don't want to break anything before that LOL!

Hammer Down

Switch to the MT slicks and you will run 10's! Go back and watch Derek's video. of his 10sec run he ran slicks!

blackbenzz

Don't run slicks if you dont have bias ply tires in the front.

Alan- are you having issues spinning the d/r's? Your 60' looks pretty good, I dont see how slicks would help if you're already launching off the stall and not getting any spin

chiromikey

i'd be afraid to run slicks period with the weight and tq our cars have. we need some slippage as a safety net to protect driveline parts!!!!!!!!!

blackbenzz

Slicks will actually help protect driveline parts since the sidewalls are soft and wrinkle on the launch abosorbing the sudden impact from a hard launch. Drag radials will break more stuff than slicks, I'm trying to make the switch

Vic55

Congrats, I know the 10 second number is the goal but personally Id be more proud of that 130mph trap speed which tells me your power is well above other non nos E55's here

lets see who really is faster you or Angela--- I know where my money lies (you)

bassn_07

There's no way I'm running a full slick on my car with street tires up front.

Ahmad, I feel I'm doing okay so far with my current setup and don't feel the need for full slicks. I actually need to work on my burnout so I could launch a little harder. I found myself needing to launch at 900 RPM to get better times this time around. Before the LT's I would launch at 1250....

Thanks Vic. I'm actually really happy with the all around performance of my car and wouldn't trade it in for anything. My cars third gear is fricken amazing and it really shines on the back half.

Haha...I'm sure Angela and myself is going to be a really close race. She truly has a beast on her hands and I have much respect for what Renntech has done with it. In the end, we'll both have fast a$$ cars making a huge amount of power.

JAYCL600

wow youre car is fast...there are 10's just around the corner man!! Id give a limb to have your back half MPH...you dont want to know what us V12's average out the back

bassn_07

Haha...I'd give a limb to have your front half. I have no idea why my car is picking up so much in the back half. The only thing that I'm running which most isn't is the 82mm TB, could that be the reason....

V12Godspeed

+1, He sure as hell out trapped this 65...

juicee63

Alan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOW man , this thread title is deceptive.

Really your car seems to be running identical to prior......

11.04-11.08 129-131 ???

I am amazed at the consistancy.

Rock you certainly can pick up 30 mph in the back w/o nitrous.


CONGRATS YOU ,

funny Rick may still have a chance..LOL

looks like my 1.4X 60 ft time will never BE BROKEN hehe

Hammer Down

It's our Northern California gas You pick up 30mph and I pick up 26.5-27mph
