It's your wagon, run it the way you want. If you do go that route, have some integrity and own it.
If you choose to go for it without the jet fuel, I hope that nobody tries to take away from your accomplishment by insinuating that you are on the go gas.

BTW, are you still tempting fate with that 195 pulley?

Also, Jet Fuel, or JetA isn't really good for car engines.

I'm running the 200 mm pulley.......

No probs yet to be fair

My goals are to get into the 10s and be the fastest e55 wagon in the world !

I ran 11.1 on pump gas and full weight will try q16 once I can get jerry to map the car and that should get me in the 10s maybe loose some weight and maybe mid 10s but that will be a mission!

Wagons are around 300 lbs more heavy then saloons.

Jet fuel was a joke !

That's moving in a wagon!!! I like that your doing it full weight too. That's the route I took and glad I did because you always know you can go that little bit faster when you drop seats and exhaust and anything else that can cut weight.

Since both wagons in this thread are running the clk wheels, what is the deal with drilling the bolt holes to fit our larger 14mm bolts? Can you just simply drill it larger or is there a certain way to do it, so the bolt sits on the wheel a specific way?

I had mine machined by a specialist that also made the hub centric spacers and bolts to match.

The green wheels though are actually from an e class I think, they only seemed about 2lbs heavier than my clk ones and are 7.5 wide vs 7 for the clk ones.

My wheels are from a w211

Paul's wheels are from a clk which you have to drill.

Acid

Just to let you know how good your 11.1's were I have just been on the Santa Pod forum checking what the regulars did in comparison to there runs earlier this year nearly all of them were 0.2-0.3 down on there September runs so looks like you have a 10 sec wagon there.
