Keep at it, like I said I got lucky to hit it my 1st time at the track with my new mods on my 4th run. When I was stock I would do the sneaky reset about 3 miles from the track and do various hard starts and kickdowns the whole way there and I didnt do it this time which probably lead to my 1st run of 11.4 then I did the reset at the track and took off the grill and then she started to wake up and on the 3rd run after the reset is when 10's happen. Funny thing is that it felt stronger each run after the reset. Maybe I should have done a 5th run

thx bro but its never been my daily driver since I bought it new in 04. I've got 21k on the ticker

My 60' needs some work and I have to learn more about our converter being a flash converter and how to launch it to get those 1.5x's that people are getting but I managed two 1.67's on the 11.04 & 10.98 runs I had a 1.9 (wheel spin) on my 11.4 and 1.89 (wheel spin) on my 11.2. This was also my 1st time using the 16" clk/MT setup. I just need some more practice with them. When I was stock my 1st 11sec run was 11.91 with my new 17" setup and after a few trips to the track the time drop to 11.701 so we'll see if I have the same success with the 16" setup.

Quote: Sacs traps have always been in question and yesterday was no different. There was a 2012 Renntech E63 TT there and he was trapping between 123-125 and we have all seen videos of the new E/CLS 63's running low 11's@127. 3 people said that according to there Vbox's Sac's traps are 2-3mph slow. I don't really want to compare traps due to their issues but I will say that it is 7mph faster in the 1/8mile.
What was your trap speed?

BK brotha what's good? Yes it was the smooth as silk does it again although I have work to do to match your cars 60'. Your car is .17 quicker to 60' that alone would get me down to 10.81, throw on some front skinnies, a Braille and about 60 less pounds of fuel and I could see hitting my goal of beating my stock time by 1 full second.

Thx A, Funny you asked, I logged on to change my sig then I noticed that Hulk posted his thread so I was like how did someone know because to my knowledge there wasn't anyone at the track from the board. I told a couple of people via text so I guess good news travels fast

You definitely left some ET on the table. No doubt you will exceed your goal next time out. Get those tires good and hot and flat punch that sucka! Nothing more to it than that.
