Hello all,
Went down to the local 1/8 mile track and ran my E55 a few times. I really need to work on my 60 foot times. I think what worked best for me was to stall it up before taking off (where I ran 7.5). Also, I ran in dyno mode, suspension on comfort and transmission in sport mode. Not sure if my times are ok for my mods. I've seen multiple E55s with a 1.6 60 foot with the same radials so I'm hoping to get there and get below 7.5!
Mods:
-77mm fsp
-raceIQ emailed tune
-Kleeman midlength headers to a ghetto muffler shop exhaust with x-pipe to factory axle back
-eurocharged large heat exchanger
-255 50 16 hoosier DR2 on E320 wheels with 12mm spacer and 40mm bolts
Next mods are going to be a trunk tank to pack with ice and a belt wrap kit. I have a nitrous express proton kit on the car setup for a 75 shot but I've yet to spray it as I need to install my wideband.
Advice and criticism is welcome! Thanks!

Reason: New title
The conversion calculator I used says your best time equals an 11.90 @ 115mph...I'm relatively new to the W211 E55 also, but the trap speed seems a little low...I was under the impression our cars did around 116 from factory?
EDIT: I just noticed the calculator I used said "This calculator is mainly for Naturally Aspirated runs"...so not sure how much difference it makes in the calculation

I believe I used the same calculator and thought the same. I know I am heat soaking pretty bad but I didn't think it would affect mph to that extent
Those sound like strong runs to me. You're .7 quicker and 6mph faster than my completely stock e55 that ran 12.65 @ 112 in the quarter. Gotta think that yours would translate to at least an 11.7 @ 120

That's good to hear! Did you use some kind of calculator to come up with my approximate 1/4 mile?

nope, just my head
just found a conversion chart and i was actually dead on to what they had. however, they converted my 1/8th to a 1/4 that was .15 slower than what i actually ran. so i think it's safe to say you'd be in the 11.6 range which is boogeying

Ohhhh nice! I really need to find a 1/4 mile close by to test those numbers!
