Ran a 12.1 @ 114 (best) the other night and it was a nice day only 75 degrees. 1.79 60' on stock tires, grip wasn't too bad.

All those mods should put me in mid 11's right? I had an 05 E55 years back and ran 12.2 at 114 stock. What is wrong?

It's an automatic with a 1.79 60'. Are you saying he needs to get better at pushing the pedal?

Your MPH is really low which indicates low power. Something is not right. Time to datalog.

It also could be the track, our local track is slow for example a stock 2011 e63 none turbo runs 13.1 at 108mph. So If I would run your time it would make a lot of sense. in my local track.
