E63 should be very close to 10s with tune only, I would think..

How much lighter is the E than CLS?

Thanks for the compressor.

We had a little tire issue. One tire was airing down on 11.21 run.

Also, the guys from RoadTestTV or Dragtimes may have some videos of your runs. I'll check.

Yes RENNtech's tune will likely be more expensive than other companies, but unlike other companies, RENNtech now has 68 passes of their M157 tune on a real track with lots of data collection and fine tuning in between. Also, I heard they're up to 50+ dyno runs and counting. I'm guessing their studying the platform very carefully trying to determine the limits, weaknesses, safety, etc.... and I know that stuff does not come cheap and does not come easy
