Today I met up with Nick (SLK55), John (NA Crossfire), and Steve (SLK32) for some 1/4 mile fun.

With a single NW, 181, Eurocharged tune, and SL55 fuel pump I ran five 12.0's. I've never ran so consintently in the decade I've been drag racing, so I was very surprised to say the least. Literally five runs were within .069 of each other. My reaction times weren't too shabby either.

I'm still running high 10's low 11's A/F even after a revision. Hopefully I can get a retune before next weekend.

By the way, the temps were in the 60's and I suspect the DA was around 1,200'. I'll check later and update the thread.


Steve had a personal best of 12.15. John was running consistent 14.8/9's in his NA Crossfire as a baseline for the turbo build. Nick surprised us all with a 12.8. Yes, a stock SLK55 ran a 12.8. With slicks that thing has a mid 12 in it.

I didn't get any video of myself, but I got some of the guys.
