Nice 60ft. She's still got more left for sure only picking up 26mph on the back half. Did it pull timing or IAT's start to get up there?

E55 AMG on Ethanol-Meth; 600rwhp BMW M5
Amazing 60 ft brotha, what was the temp and DA if you know that info?

He picked up close to 28mph on the back half according to the slip.

Temp was 72 degree. I'll check on DA later.

This was the first run of the day for me. Drove to the track, swap the tires and ran. That's was the best 60' time I've ever had. After that run the best 60' was 1.8. And the best run after that was 11.1.
Car was full weight and with about 1/2 tank of 93 octane gas.

Seen that after I posted. I thought it said 99.89 in 1/8. Either way most modded E55's seem to pick up around the 30mph range and it fell off a little after the 1/8th. It for sure has 10.80's maybe 10.70's in cooler weather.

Highest boost I've seen is 15psi, most of the time 14.xx

On the run with ice, AIT start at 61 and climb to 120. On the run without ice, AIT would start at 83 and climb to 131.

This time Jerry did the tune for me. Even thought Jerry tune made less power then Jeremy tune, the car just feel peppier and faster. Also, I don't have the TCU tune yet.

As I'm sure you know if you can keep IAT's lower it will pull harder. Rule of thumb is every degree you can reduce IAT's it's worth 1hp. Do you run the ice water directly to the intercooler? Most of my runs would start in the 35-38degree range. Can't wait to see you when you come up to MIR!!
