Sharing my track time, running 10s with RACEIQ Performance

I wanted to share some vids of my 10 sec runs in my E55 at Silver Dollar Raceway in Reynolds Georgia.


As data points for comparison sake, the weather was 80*, and DA was 700FT.

So only bolt ons? Impressive. With the converter and higher ratio gears what tires were you using to get that 60ft time?

Put together as in all the tuning that goes along with running this ET. Buckhead Imports(window banner), myself and Tony from RACEIQ handled the install. Tony has been tuning my M113k cars for over 10yrs now, thus the 2014 video.


I shifted at 6,700rpms and Hoosier 255-50-16 drag radials were used.

Very impressive runs!

During all my my drag racing launch tips searching I believe I found a post from you that said something along the lines of:

14PSI
Dyno mode
Tranny in S
Suspension in C
5 second burn out
Petal through the floor on green.

You still rolling with that same method? I have the same hoosiers on the CLK wheels but I can't dead hook if I don't roll onto the throttle. I don't have a LSD so I'm guessing that may be why?
