I know, and no doubt you will be there as soon as the tune is perfect.

 

With the mods in your sig should be DEEP into the 11's..

 

I can't believe you squeezed those tires on there . I think the track must be prepped really bad, or it is just too cold. I was dead hooking on the 275's in 50 degree weather. 240M3SRT was having issues launching on his huge nitto drags too(315s I think), but it was way colder out than 50 out that day.

A few years back I had a LT-1 Camaro with a 175 shot of NOS and I could pull 1.5 60ft all day on 245/45/16 Nitto Drags. It would lift my passenger tire off the ground about 4 inches and made my t-tops leak like crazy .

Good luck out there...We are pulling for you!!

 

You aren't kidding! I was at the track with Paul, and I couldn't believe it either!

It was cold last night, in the 40's. Track prep at OSW seems to have gone down hill, too.

For anyone interested, I now have the Hankook V12 K110's, 235/40 18 front and 295/30 19 rears. For daily driving they are pretty nice. For drag racing, well, the kinda suck. My best 60' last night was a 1.9x, which I got on my first pass of the night. It went down hill after that These replaced my Goodyear GS-D3s, which were great at the track. I did my 12.11 run on the Goodyears with a 1.7x 60' in similar weather conditions that we saw last night. Looks like I won't be beating my best time without more mods.

 

Are you saying the AMG engineers, with all their testing and design criteria, messed up in the design of this important component? Creating a bottle neck and causing the MAP sensor to feed incorrect signals to the ECU?

And then AMG allowed this critical error to continue in the production for 10's of thousands of engine builds, if not more?

Simple observation would say the exact opposite.

 

I am sure they are fine in the stock format, but all of us including you have second guessed those same designers and engineers by removing those stock intakes, pulleys and re writing their tunes in the pursuit of more power. I can understand how those stock plentums can be over worked at 20lbs of boost and flowing twice as much are with our new intakes.



Just my .02

 

I run lean and I have stock plenums, which is the reason for not getting mod'd ones !

 

Funny when I cut my plenums apart they were restrictive unless my simple observations need glasses

 

Good luck.

I'm still hopeful for all of you who dream of consistent 11.XX second quarter mile SRT. (W/street tires )

Perhaps when the snow melts and the drag strips re-open.....

 

Waiting for April...... ... 11.8?....... 11.7?.....

 

those 11's, they sure can cause problems....but, we will all chase them....may not get there, but will chase them anyway....

 

MIKE!!

You reached the holy milestone.....

What would really be awesome - is when the 11's become the "norm" and you shake your head and say WHAT when lay down a run that's slower then 11.999.....

 

If I can make 11.xx 50% of the time that would be considered successful for me...
