Cls55 1/4 mile trip
so i finally made it down to the track after the upgrades... stock my car ran 12.5@113. best I managed this time was 11.97@117. my 60' was pretty high for running DR's at 1.8... i think the box tune that I have on my car from EC has the talked about hesitation issues and it has trouble getting off the line. car definitely needs a dyno tune.
Car weighed in at 4400lbs with me in it.

my mods are as follows:
Kleemann Headers
175 ASP pulley
550cc injectors and looped rail
EC ECU and TCU tune
I did three runs, my last run being the fastest. Here are the time slips the videos. I was expecting my car to be around 11.5, but if i could get the 60' down to the 1.5 mark that should be possible

yes definitely needs a dyno tune, the 550 injectors seem to be dumping a lot of fuel. it's too bad the TCU tune did absolutely nothing, i was expecting the car to shift a lot faster than it does

weather was mild. about 70F and 40% humidity. it did get a bit cooler towards the end of the night, but the track also got cooler and traction got worse

any pointers on making the car faster? would a dyno tune be my first step? or should i do a 82mm TB and complete the package first?

05 White Pano E55, Cadillac CTS-V
My E55 with pano, trunk closer, electric rear shade, navigation, etc weighted 4180 by itself with right around 1/4 tank of gas and the spare tire in the trunk (35lbs?) with 19" SL63 amg wheels mounted on the car (rear is 56lbs, front maybe 52-53?
I guess if it had the stock 18s, no electric trunk closer, sun shade and no pano roof it could be 4000lbs.

cls55's never came with pano. I have all the other options, trunk closer, navi, dynamic seats, sun shade, alcantara headliner, etc. i weighed my car with my 360 forged 20's on it, which are about the same weight as the stock 19's i think. had about 3/4 tank of gas and with the spare in the trunk.
