Big congrats to Bart for running that beautiful wagon to a 12.47 today. It's all stock with his family stickers on the back window. Congrats brotha! Your wagon is hauling.

And I ran my best ever today and sadly the car broke on the second pass. But I ran 11.03 @ 126mph with a 1.60 60'. I do wish I could have rum more but it didn't happen. Thanks for everything fellas.

Besides the trans problem, how'd the car feel? Did it pull nice and clean through the gears? First pass is usually the slowest, if not for the trans you would have only gotten faster. Props for putting it all together in such a short time span and then hauling her *** all the way to Georgia to rep! Hats off to Elliot and the Georgia boys.

Here is the data fro my PB run
60 1.872 (Hankooks)
1/4 12.471
MPH 112.72

The DA calculator on dragtimes converts to 12.15 @115

Not bad runs given the hot weather and only a BIP tune and TTM scoops

Also, I don't think removing the front grille improves times at all, I posted my best times with the grille in place.

the grille probably smooths the air just a bit before it hits the scoops

Which conversion did you use? Can't use the na conversion for a forced induction car

I had set your pressure to a cold 16psi, it probably climbed to 18psi when they warmed. The plan was to drop it to 14psi as your car got dialed in later in the day. Just know that initially I set it at 16psi sir, plus the front donut rims equated to a sick 60ft.

This is his PB run from the tree, dont mind Greg and I's commentary!

Strange his car wouldn't spin the tires for the burnout. Maybe thats where/when the trans issue began.

At that point he was in dyno mode so it seems like the tranny was cutting power. I do know that he cut a 1.60 60 ft there, so if he roasted the tires on that run and got a low 1.5x 60ft, that is a 10.80 in 90* weather.

I guess I read the calculator too quickly, I saw the first one that listed stock engines (and now see that it says n/a). The last option says extensively modified supercharged and turbocharged engines and that calculated to a 12.35 at 113. No option for stock sced engines though...

Very nice! Congratz that's a stout/fast E55 you've got there, def 10.9x or better in some serious Negative DA.

Dude I was nervous, hyper, hot, and tired. Forgot the car was not in dyno mode, and the weak excuse for a burnout sucked. So I hit the esp button and did a little burnout to make sure the tires were warm.

We were on our way, homey. I'm confident we would have hit.

Thank you, sir!

Great times!! Congrats to the both of you. Saw FASN8N's wagon at the BIP meet earlier this year, pics don't do it justice.
