Well, I've owned the car for 2 months and finally got a chance to run it at the track today. The first run was a 7.65 @ 91.43. For you 1/4 miles guys, that's good for 11.8's. Not bad for it's Virgin run. I could have run faster had the car not been setup for nitrous (retarded timing and very narrow plug gaps).
I did a 0-60mph run today also, see below.
My Current Mods:
- Eurocharged 61.9MM pulley
- SL55 Fuel Pump
- Buckhead Imports Tune
- TTM Looped fuel rail with crossover
- Stock Heat Exchanger
- OEM Intercooler Pump
- Hoosiers - 255/50-16's on lightweight CLK wheels
- Nitrous is installed, but wasn't used
Thanks, guys. This one is only running 1/10th slower than my best in the old car. Funny thing is, this one did the 7.6 with less boost, less timing, and super small plug gaps, so I'm pretty excited about what the N2O is going to do for the ET's when I crack the bottle open.
Yes, I bought another one to replace the pole dancer (I hit a telephone pole in the old one). This one is just getting broken in. I hit 8K miles on the odometer a few days ago.
Thanks, guys. I plan on testing a very small 35 shot this weekend. I haven't even checked it's functionality on the car yet, as I've spent most of my time chasing boost leaks and other gremlins.
If there are no issues this weekend with the 35 shot, I might step it up to a 75. This is unlikely, since the track prep isn't that great at my local 1/8th mile. Chances are the 35 shot will overpower the tires, and I'll have to get out of it. We'll see.
In a couple weeks Beech Bend opens, and that will be the best opportunity to test the 75 shot. If all goes well with it, I'll head down to Buckhead Imports in Atl, Georgia and get the car dyno-tuned for a 100-shot. I think that will get me close to 10's. My goal this season is 11.2's, but I'll take 10's.
I'm shooting for 11.2's in order to catch up with a guy that installed a 5.5 liter supercharged V8 into his Crossfire. The engine came out of either a Mercedes E55 or SL55 (AMG). Currently he's running 11.2's, which is only 5 tenths faster than my old SRT6 off the bottle.
