New E55 record and a special thanks to....
First I would like to give a BIG thanks to Nemo Foss and Tom Witoshynsky of Rage-Tek for building this twin turbo setup. 
I personally did not think it was going to work.
But Nemo assured me that he could make it happen. 
I would also like to thank Rick (RAWAMG) for the UPD 3000 stall converter, Kauve for the 3 pod gauge pillar, and Ahmad (Blackbenz) for the ARP head studs and the use of his drag setup at the rental! Thanks a lot fellas!!!
Now here it is.
I got to the track very late (long azz drive from SoFlo) and really didn't have a hole lot of time to run. Thankfully, turbos don't need any cool down time I managed 2 clean passes. 10.26 @137mph w/1.61 60ft. 10.26 @138 w/ 1.65 60ft. The other attempts were spinning and limp mode.
We did retune before I went up to MIR. The car was on Q16, 18psi and no seats. The car made 665whp/704wtq and was on a conservative AFR for safety reasons. Also the Head studs were just a safety precaution also. Other than that the car is completely stock motor, trans, and fuel system with EC 550 injectors. NO LOOPED FUEL RAIL NEEDED!!!
Here are some pics and vids. Enjoy! I sure did.
The car has plenty left in her. We will be going back and trying for a 9 second pass. And it will happen.
