It's official - car is off to Speedriven
Well, bit the bullet... Loaded car onto a car hauler today for a trip to Speedriven! I thought I'd celebrate the pending expiration of the worlds most used CPO in April with the addition of a few HP's... Just some minor massaging. Looking forward to tracking the progress. I'll post updates as I get them. On a quest to get kicked off of NED

No bigger turbos. Just top mounts, intake, down pipes, tcu/ecu tune, meth, LSD and build the trans to handle a bit more torque. It's a recently rebuilt Trans, so just some internal strengthening. Should get me around 780hp give or take, and the goal is 10.9 in a reliable daily driver.
Oh, and Marcin is going to write me a custom "Valet" tune at 8 lbs of boost or so for those Ferris Bueller moments.

No prob. They are a small shop, but I have called them about 8 times and gotten in touch with Marcin or Konrad 6 out of the 8 times, they seem pretty busy but always have had time for me so far. I find they generally get back to me within 24 hours via email as well, generally towards the end of the day ( like 6:30) or at around. 8:30am. They don't have a receptionist, but I figure that's one reason they cost a bit less. The are both former MB techs, and highly trained ones... Reminds me of my buddies at East Coast European, both former Audi techs, specialize in performance Audis, are very good but a bit harder to get ahold of during their busy periods-8:30-6.

Saw you car at the shop def one of the nicest cleanest W220 S65s I seen so far. Marcin and Konrad def know their MBs an how to make them go fast. Great choice on the mods you will be super happy. I dont have coolers or turbos just yet but the rest of my mods already are eating up some fast cars on the street. No turbos? Im getting mine in June with coolers, turbos are a huge dif on these cars you should just do them if the car is down at the shop, you will pick up a lot of power with those. I did mine exactly like you all the cooling I could get before bigger mods and car is a beast, glad Im 15 min away from the shop
Good Luck and congrats

Nothing against others, but keeping your car in stock trim as shown will make it so unassuming. The upgraded turbos should make it an all out destroyer on the highway. I can't wait to hear your feed back and see what kind of power you net. You are sure to make others say "WTF was that???"
