Simple, the same way you would if your DA's are over 2000ft and you are using regular street tires and running 100% street weight. If that answer doesn't satisfy you then it is because my car is slow and broken and I stole the dyno sheet from the internet.
Now, since you are obviously a leg humper...why not step aside and let speedriven answer a simple question?

I can agree/disagree with this. There is a difference in running a car through 1gear on a dyno compared to 3 on a track where the car is gonna get hotter and hotter intake temps though.
But the biggest "issue" with his time being talked about is simply running street tires. I am sure everyone who has been to the track on drag radials/slicks has been on street tires as well at some point. Having said this, they can't argue how much of a difference it makes being able to pound the gas off the line, hook and haul ***. Easy 3 tenths off your time if not 4 tenths by making that change alone.

What I find interesting is how I made a simple question to Speedriven and out come the leg humpers to try and deviate from the topic with my own car...lol.

Maybe they should stop developing one of a kind big power packages and focus on headers!!!!!

This, and the fact that DA's don't affect corrected dyno's even remotely as much as they do uncorrected dyno's. Uncorrected my car puts down about 490whp.

490 whp should be well over 120 mph trap btw

Aleks- Congrats on joining up with speedriven. Thanks for that video of the 1000hp clip. I noticed the gas level (wonder where it was at the start !!!)
Car was pulling strong with no effort.
Not sure what you will have in the works for the E63 but I will keep my eye out on your site.
Good Luck.

Speedriven can answer regardless of how many times I post, fyi. And also fyi, Speedriven's focus is big power kits, not headers. That might help you understand why 1100 HP kits are a reality and you can only get them from Speedriven. You can buy headers anywhere.
Maybe they should stop developing one of a kind big power packages and focus on headers!!!!!

BTW- can I guess your car does mid 9's at over 145mph? I'm asking because it's SUPPOSED to in your lala land...lol.
Another question, how much power did Speedrivens car have in the Texas mile?

Wow, lol. Just checked the thread. I'm on my phone so I can't reply fully at the moment but in regards to the headers I am doing my best to bring a project fully to life which was started by another employee before I joined the team and have it completed in a timely manner correctly.
Sorry for the confusion. It's been really busy around the shop! I'll post up some pictures later!
Thanks
Aleks

Good thing YOU don't have to answer my stupid question, because YOU are JUST a leg humper. It was directed at Speedriven. It also wasn't because *I* wanted headers, it was addressing the following posts ( and because I personally know someone that has been waiting a year for these ):
Maybe they shouldn't take on any projects they can't complete, how about that?

B. I don't have a clue how fast my car will go but it should be very impressive.
C. On my car it was at 17 psi with the new kit which is around 700 RWHP. JC's car, that ran 198 mph, was close to 800 rwhp on that pass.
SpeeDriven currently holds the record for any Mercedes Benz in the standing mile at 198.

A. Maybe it's their god given right to take on whatever they choose. I'm quite happy with a 1000 HP MB, so I'm glad they took that challenge on.

BTW- Wasn't Eurocharged's 180mph run on a 55K higher than the SL600, with the SL having 100+whp more? I could be wrong, maybe you should correct me.

Yikes.... You guys are crazy. I've trapped 125 mph with 2 liter on pump gas, street tires, and 4 broken ring lands. I just gotta give you Mercedes guys some ****....
Speeddriven's work looks pretty bad ***. I'm excited to see some finished pictures.

I know he was, it is just so much harder hauling around a ton of extra weight. Hell my Audi is just as fast as my E55 and it makes like 60whp less but it also weights around 3500lbs so it is 700lbs lighter.
And yes I know I have a slow E55, it is a little depressing that I have only ran 11.69@120. Guess I need some small wheels and drag radials so I can be a little more accepted when I get that low 11s time.

No 
They just stopped selling them recently because they were having problems with the manufacturer and are doing their own deal soon so I will have to wait until that is done to be able to run a race tune.
Would definitely love to get to the track on the race tune and some slicks with some ice in my little tank to see what it will do on a night when it isn't hot.
I mean this guy ran 11.62@119 before installing a killer chiller and I am reeling him in before I brake for cars ahead (2nd run), so I think I could do pretty good.
