Damn first time trying out my beast E55 amg 2003 STOCK on the track ,man its hard to launch these cars.
I had 19 inch wheels on and cm30 pump the rest is stock.
Even with esp on i kept spinning.

Heres my time:

Reaction: 0.542

60 foot 2.112

330 foot 5.548

1/8 8.351

1/8mph 87.01

1000 foot 10.780

1/4 mile ET 12.824 @ 111.07 MPH

59 degrees outside.

Is my time any good,i am sure i could do better.
Just have to practice launching.

 

Your 60' times will improve with practice and lower your ET's but the trap speeds seem on the low. How about track elevation? It would be nice to know what the density altitude was during your run. If you could post the place, time, and date it would help evaluate your run.

Both DA and humidity was very good during your pass. I would possibly look into datalogging your car to see what your IAT's are. Usually that would be the first place to look.

Your car should be running a faster MPH in those conditions if all is healthy.

 

Maybe because i had 19 inch wheels and cheap tires?? or my 100 pound GF in the car??
What is datalogging i am new at this...

thanks

or my 100 pound GF in the car??
Racing while my 100lb GF was in the car would be the only time i would complain about her weight. 100lbs is worth about a .10th..your bad launch could account for .30..so i would say your car should run in the mid 12's which isn't too shabby. Did you have a full tank of gas? Check SFSL55 page on launch technique and have someone take a look at your IC pump.

 

forgot to mention i have a cm30 pump and almost half a tank.

 

Datalogging is a way of collecting samples of information through your obd port (most commonly used) or through another source, and then reviewing it later on for analysis. Either way something doesn't sound right. Your trap is pretty low.

 

I was going to ask about the cm30 pump but you installed it. I ran 12.5 at 115 while another e55 same day no cm30 pump ran 12.8 at 112 which is similar to your time.

I would probably do the sneaky ecu reset and drive her hard and give it another go.

 

The last owner had the cm30 installed, it might be faulty i gotta get it check out.
I did the ecu reset just before doing the run.
Well i guess this tuesday i will do a couple of more runs...
Someone here has 2 stock wheels they wanna sell??

 

i would look into bleeding your IC pump lines..

very ease.. there is a sticky how to do it.

Just need a plastic hose and pair of pliers...

make sure your filters are clean and all your intake pipes are properly installed.. the pipes the lead from the hoodd to your boxes..

elevation is the only thing I can think, really hurting your trap speed.

 

Yea i am gonna get it check out on monday, you know where i could find some K&N filters?

 

local parts store.. or online.

Kragen, Autozone.com.. ect
