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


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.

lolol

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.

Exotic-metal55

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.

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.!!

loungn14

wasn't calling you out at all, sorry if it seemed that way. Hoping to even get close to your old record with this car, the only thing it will have over yours is a better drag co being an E. Power wise she is way shy. The real money is all for the cl by far! My car was suppossed to make the journey, but the cali 55 was already on the way.

Exotic-metal55

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

loungn14

uh me! I surely expect a ride when i come down there!!!

what license class are you getting for the event? I was probably doing class B. Assume you will go class A?

ZAHANMA

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?

loungn14

not making the trip. He has manifold leaks and had to send them off to get machined.

Exotic-metal55

Same license class as last ime , as it is more fun to get kicked off!

Just loaded up on some Juice for Street racing , damn, I mean street testing hehe

loungn14

sweetness...just remember we are leaving thursday for the track and would have no way of picking you up fri if needed as the track is like 4 hours away from the airport. Unless you rent a car..

I am coming in wed afternoon to party it up right that night if ya know what I mean...

Benz-O-Rama

If I come Friday, just send a chopper for me. Problem solved.


What's the latest I could land on Thursday, and be picked up?

shardul

BOR I will pick you up
I plan to go to the track friday morning.

Benz-O-Rama

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.

V12Godspeed

Now thats love for a fellow member...BOR you better have another gift for Shardul. 4 Hours is not a breeze although the way you guys drive it might be.

Trying to see if I head to the mile as well. Put some names with the faces.

Does anyone know whats the closest airport to the mile? I am renting a car after I land if I go.

Benz-O-Rama

Oh, he's heard the stories about me, I won't disappoint.

You wanna land at Bush Intercontinental, Or William Hobby

shardul

iTrader: (1)

Actually San Antonio is closer if you are renting a car.

Hellzno

I think the closet commercial airport would be corpus christi TX

AUS-E55

LOL !! This is going to be good, Shards do you think we should book another room or two ??

loungn14
