I thought it would be a neat to start a thread to compare and contrast mods with 1/4 times

I'll start...

78* weather
+1800 DA

180mm ASP pulley
EC box tune
EC HE
K&N filters
KleemAn headers (no cats)
16' MB rear wheels
Mickey Thompson drag radials

60.....1.6189
330'.......4.7410
1/8.......7.3270
1/8.......94.69mph
1000'......9.5650
1/4.........11.4472mph
No trap

Man, I need to get some drag radials. My best trap in the 1/8th mile is 94mph, but I am in the high 7's on street tires. In my defense, it's a pretty garbage track in the Qualcomm Stadium parking lot. My best 60' is like a 2.03 or something.

Mods:
MBH Headers/midpipe
OE Tune
180mm pulley

I think the OE tune makes huge different.

I believe the tune accounts for a large portion of the track times. I had a tune from Jeremy that the car was great with but the custom tune for the injectors and TB sucked. I fouled plugs out it was so rich at part throttle driving. Not trash talking him but just saying the tuners a major part of the puzzle.

TB, FULL EXHAUST, 180mm, TTM FUEL KIT, FILTERS, TONY LAWSHEE TUNE, STEELIES W/HOOSIER 255S 11.0@129.75 with a 1.54 60ft, 1250 DA & 70*

E55Bullet

Sweet! Keep them coming! It's great see different times with different mods.


I love motorkas 11.2 with a 168!

Denroll

Where did you pick up the steelies and did you need spacers? They look like they can be picked up on the cheap and 16 inchers would give lots of sidewall.

jmb614

Definitely need spacers, occasionally someone posts a FS thread for 16" CLK rims. I paid $120 for the pair.

jmb614

I noticed the same thing with the EC tune. Part throttle is pretty rich but WOT was pretty close, if a little bit too lean.

You car seems too fast to be that slow... If that makes any sense...must be the 60...

urbamworm

Well 19s aren't exactly made for going fast, smaller wheels would help especially if lighter and obviously drag radials would get me a better 60ft and at minimum improve the time by 2 tenths and probably improve the time by 3 or 4 tenths in the same weather. Then better weather with a DA closer to or under sea level would also help improve trap and time. I am sure the car would run 11.3-4 with some drag radials and decent weather without question.

With the 180 pulley weather will make or break you, at least in my car. On a hot day the car loses major performance, I can feel it go flat up around 100mph when I am sure the intake temps are getting up there and it is dumping fuel and/or pulling timing.

E55Bullet

Mine did too! Same feeling. I added extra cooling to fix that problem!

Benz-O-Rama

Motorkas E55 is the 2nd quickest I've ever driven. It hauls ***, and looks the part. So pretty.....so quick....

lowprofile

My first time out, on her third and final pass for the night, 11.1 @124 in full street trim(full weight). Only addition was dr's.

Here was my best run and something happened in 3rd gear and the car went into limp mode.I thought for sure mid track I was going to get into the 10s but the car was fighting its self with the traction control from the tires I was running.

GT-ER

11.8@119mph with a 1.8 60ft. This was at 100% full street weight, regular 19" street tires and pump gas 93 ( no ethanol ) and a DA of over 2000ft. Maybe this monday I can give it a shot with better weather ( it's been in the low 80's as of lately which is cold for us ) and my new Pirelli Corsa's...

e55amgrocket

I don't have my slip anymore but with the mods in my but got this off drag times.

1/4 Mile ET: 10.760 1/4 Mile MPH: 129.370 1/8 Mile ET: 6.952 1/8 Mile MPH: 101.690 0-60 Foot ET: 1.625

AKnight55

Something was definately going on. Only 23 mph on the back half. After all that hard work, you got to get that 10 second skip!

Worth the wait

I'll play

11.87@119 with a 1.82 60'
Stock wheels and street tires
My one and only (so far) sub 11 sec run...turns 12.0's all day long

Renntech 178 pulley, Heyvron shorty headers with both cats, k&n's, split cooling with tiny under hood res, plm HE w cm-30 and Jeremy tune.

BTW, do drag radials improve trap speed or just et's???
