For all of the drag racers(even though its not an E55). With a great deal of time and patience from Bruce of TTM as my burnout coach, I was able to run 4 passes in the 10's today. A New personal best of 10.79 @127.32 MPH with a 1.575 60 FT. I will post slips tomorrow when I have a chance. This was the Atco rental and the weather was great. The thing to realize is the car only has an ECU/TCU and supplemental HE. I ran 103 octane in my regular tune with stock air boxes(filters removed) and stock intercoolers. I think there is some footage of some runs but sadly not my personal best. Also a big thanks to Jerry from Eurocharged. The car has always run strong with my tune and today I was able to prove how strong.

Congrats!!! Knew it was just a matter of time. Welcome to the 10 second club crazy what tuning can do on a 65. That's flying for such a heavy car! I wish i got a clean pass out of mine before it let go. If i remember correctly our dyno numbers were close and your car must weigh about 800+lbs more lol.

CONGRATS Rich!!!!!!

I'm glad I could help you out. You are a great student!

I really believe those air boxes I made for you will work with some adaption time with your ECU!! I guess we will see!

Thanks, I had your burnouts in mind!!!

Thank You!

He had this suitcase with something glowing in it, but he wouldn't let me see. lol standard M/T 265/40/18s stock 19's up front.

Thanks, there were a lot of surprised faces.

Thank You!!

Thank You!!

...And a LSD you have more options with your car. Great to meet you thank you.

Come On we all remember pics of your girl you run 8's on a regular day with high IATs.....hahah one day you never know when it can happen.

He's getting better...I'll have to spend a little more time with him.

Thanks, I doubt I could have launched the car much harder it was practically pushing through the brakes. All in all I had a 1.57, 1.58, 1.59, 1.60, and a 1.61. Look at drag times you'll see what I mean. My second run the tranny went into limp and that was 1.58 I think also I don't have the slip but Bruce may remember.

Much Thanks!!

Thank You

Maybe who knows I like the simplicity but that may not last. For now its just changing tires and pulling filters.

Thank you, I was super impressed this was full weight (4650 lbs. with me).
Would have been crazy to see what it would have pulled on a dyno yesterday out there.

Greatly appreciate your help. Sorry I didn't try the boxes for a few more passes, but I was super impressed with what I had already accomplished, plus the ride back.


Thanks fellow elitst, and as we all know there is never an end. Thats what keeps us coming back for more. Who knows what I'll do time will tell.

Thank You, and you are right for the most part, but simple mods impress me, and in 20 minutes the car was packed and I was on the road.

Thank you.

Thank You very much and you are accurate, this was only my 3rd track day 2nd with drag radials. 1st with my own. LOL...I've had the car for close to 4 yrs so I know how it behaves, but the track is a whole different thing.

Here are some time slips. And again thanks for all the kind words. Now I gotta work on tracking down some video.
