Thanks. Losing the stock airboxes allow you to hear turbos spool.

Do you have any personal goals this year? I would love to see one of you guys in the 9's personally. It's very doubtful any of the E55's will be able to get there which means we'll have to rely on the our big brothers to represent. Go get yours!!!!
Thanks. Your mph is strong enough to get you in the 10.40s and I wish you the best in getting there. No doubt you will. I've been amazed by the 55 and 65 motors pushing 4000 lb plus cars to mid 130 mph trap speeds in the quarter. I drive my car every day and have been happy to have no issues. Next on the list is bigger intercoolers. Heat generated by turbos is a huge issue on these cars. Summer is on the way here, so better times may be out of reach for a while. We"ll see what happens.

One more month...I will be able to find out if it will run 9's or not.
Can't wait to see.

Congrats Steve! Way to represent! I'm sorry we couldn't meet up as I just couldn't bring myself to tell my significant other " hey honey, I'm gonna go to an airport, much like the one you hung out at while completely and utterly bored for two days in Texas, to watch some racing...."! She was so happy that we finally had a few days to spend together I just didn't have the heart (or *****) to run the risk of being beat over the head with a loaded purse.
I'll be down there a few more times yet before summer and we'll surely grab lunch and can go for a blast in that rocket!!

Thanks Marko. Totally understand the concessions one must make in life. Done it many times. You would have definitely received a "Code Red" with the loaded purse for taking her to this runway in the middle of the Everglades on a hot day. You made the smart play. My wife wouldn't come either. Catch up with you soon.
