First time for dig races, I ran a 13.09@107 with a 1.9. Still on street tires, and trying to figure out how to launch it.

I race in 6k DA and it was 90 degrees out. But I'd still figure it would be around 110-112 at least. Was going to go back tomorrow, but it's going to be 101 tomorrow. Nope. Think I may need to upgrade my IC pump

Another cammed C5Z I raced 2xs in qualifying, he barely came around me each times right at the traps. He was running 13.1s @111 all day

A 4000 stall and transmission tune will close that gap quite a bit

Headers, upper pulley, and tune will open it back up Trying to convince wife to let me get that for my B-Day at least.

Just read that I've been obviously racing my car at the track wrong. Well. Period. They say for the fastest times, to raise the car to its highest setting and shocks at the softest setting with TC on. Well I've had it at its lowest setting and stiffest with TC off...

I worked for mercedes as a tech for a long time, those E55's are my favorite AMG car still. That m113 motor with the blower is bullet proof and hauls the mail. Pulley and a tune and its a beast. Nice Ride!

Thanks bud! Yeah this has been my dream car since this body style came out in 03. Think my mods coming up will be longtubes, 77mm upper, tune, and upgrade my IC pump.
