Ran a 12.6 @ 112 Mph tonight.

Very pleased with the results for a first time run. My car is bone stock. The car should do alot better but I need more practice. I also met the owner of Dragtimes.com. Nice guy, He drives a nice modded Pewter E55 with the K1 upgrade. He managed an 11.9 1/4! Got some great pointers and tech help from him. Here is one of his runs...

Thanks to MB world. Here was the crappier of my two runs. This one, the car was in Dyno mode and I was not used to having the traction control and ABS completely off. Definately would have given me better runs with practice though.

Is there any compilation of ET's/Speeds for the various cars that would also detail their mods? I see a time here and a time there, but no sticky thread or anything like that which would provide a lot of info in one place.

I ran a 8.11@ 87mph at IMM 1/8th mile track with the tires spinning like crazy. My car is also bone stock. I think I am going to get a AA tune and an ASP pulley very soon though. I have to get over to Moroso soon to try the 1/4 mile.

That would translate into a low 12 1/4 mile. My car dynoed at 402 whp on a notoriously conservative dyno.
