No 9s But new 55 Records

Got to the track to do some testing. Thanks to Jerry from Eurocharged we were able to get the tune better and better. New 55 record for trap speed is 143.57mph. Unfortunately I was having issues with traction so the best I ran was 10.007. Should've used a lightweight battery!

New 55 1/4 mile ET record = 10.007
New 55 trap record (and I think 2nd fastest overall Mercedes trap) = 143.57
New 55 1/8 mile ET record = 6.492
New 55 1/8 trap record = 111.69
60-130mph in 5.65 seconds

Those are not all on the same pass. And before it starts... No nitrous. This was just the first day of tuning/testing. DA was approximately +350 feet

Gratz! Dayummm... That 9.999 is soooo close... What fuel were you running? Race gas mix or

Edit you note using CCW track setup? I have a rear set of mint CLK 16x8 if memory serves? matte blk 12.8 lbs ea on 255/50/16 Hoosiers (used on the street for 30 min playing around before my coil packs took a dump) I know they must weigh less than your CCW's if you want them (for you & the cause ONLY, say $500 + shipping & they're yours, the tires alone new were close to $600 w/tax/shipping) they still even have ALL the little rubber knobs on the top edges & sidewalls, They're are absolutely mint only few tiny cosmetic scratches on 1 of faces, just rattle can matte..I know this addition will get you @ least 9.90 if ALL your splits remained unchanged...

Anyhow food for thought on hopefully netting you that 9.9x

Gold plated? This isn't the Kia forums.

Solid 24k internals.

Sooooo close. I'm glad to see you haven't given up. You have gotten this close, and what a healthy trap speed. Hopefully you will get the track prep you need and then some. Good luck, it shouldn't be too far away now.
