GTER, Cool. I use a detailed excel sheet that has built in formulas for running the mile and gearing. My set up entails being able to run 195 mph in 4th gear but do not have the power right now. Each gearshift is done at a set mph and we use a cheat sheet to know when to shift. Things like that.

Secrets are interesting but since you control my tuning and tune support, then you also control the win. Hmmm, interesting scenario for this mile.

I was actually joking as I assumed you already knew and or saw the car we are running. (guess not)
fully built 55, pretty much same mods as you.

Yes, I have heard you have a built E55 from Cali, that someone built but was not sure of the plans for the car. I thought your white beast was coming for sure. I guess with me and my little wifey being the target, then it all makes sense now.
Hmmm, 4 working weeks left, what should I do to stay competive now? My hands are bleeding and body aching from all the wrenching it takes to run this mile. Back at it again tonight on my garage floor.
Back on topic.Was happy to see my MPG go up about 5% with the more effeciant heads. Will keep the updates coming . Looking to hit the 1/4 mile real soon. Just got a killer hook up and will tell more later.!!

Well, to be honest , it is the first time I have ever been challenged (called out) by the same shop that I buy my parts from, tunes my car and have supported since it was Jerry @ LET. This car /customer must be really, really important.

Sorry for the slow reply but tied up in a big EV charging staion meeting and report due to NASA last night. Only got an hour in of wrenching.
I sure was hoping to see the White beast down here this time. Be nice to all go to the 1/4 mile before the mile. At least the best EC company driver is being flown in from Chi town.
The E55 will have more mods , Better drag C and better cooling. Weeks and weeks of dyno tuning too.
I drove the CL for the first time in a while and WOW! Anyone want to go for a ride. j/k

Jake, what are the chances you are still bringing down Bryan's Turbo SRT6? Or did that fall behind schedule and is not going to make the trip?

Awesome! Thanks!
Still working out the details on my end. I need to figure out how big the gift is gonna have to be for my wife, to leave her again with our demon seed children. I swear, if I ever meet their father, I'm gonna smack him right in the mouth.
I'll know in the next couple of days, what my arrival date/time will be. If it ends up being Friday, I'm holding you to it!
If it's Wednesday night or Thursday morning, I'm gonna have be Eurocharged's b1tch for the weekend.
