Don't give up I bet there is something that you may of missed...I am new to this and had never tracked a car prior to the C32....so you and this forum know alot more then me...I learned some/alot from very efficient track people cough ChicagoX but by no means am I a scientist is this...maybe you should try another track and compare I will try Byron Dragway also this Spring/Summer to see if there are any differences.

Yours is the opposite of mine. My Dyno at Evosport was 308rwhp and mine will trap in the 111mph range at the track.

c55asleep?

Why don't you just do another dyno run somewhere else. Maybe at Lujans.

Was that Evosport pullies and Tune?

Not a bad idea..

Please tell us it’s not come to that.

If you get an E55K, you’ll just be jonesing for the 11’s…

My nearest 1/4 track is about 1.5 hours away, and I cringe every time I think
about making the drive to make 3-4 passes. The next one is 2-2.5 hours North
of me.

Next Saturday and I'm there, but it can go both ways 1: higher #'s because
it's a Dynojet 2: same or lower because of the fans CAN'T SIMULATE WOT
AIR EFFECT. Dynoing, street racing, highway racing isn't the problem, it's
the 1/4 ET & MPH times.

With a E55K I won't have to worry about that, I'll drive it with a smile from
ear to ear every time, if I wanna go fast I'll hop over to my EVO or M3

It seems that you put good work into you car...if you are not entirely sold on a w211 E55 I'd say don't waste you money...I trusly desire a CLS55/63 and unless I got a fabulous deal on a E55 I won't switch..the E55 has so much more to offer but I love the body style of the CLS more then the E class. Re-dyno car to see if any changes and re-track it when you can. I have heard about Morosso being known for slower times.....you should consider checking out the construction of it maybe at mid to top there is an un-noticable slope and it effects your power...til the eight you are doing great but after is the downfall.

I've put a few bolt ons and you can say I'm 50/50 happy/disappointed. I love
my C32 and if I upgrade it'll be the W211 E55, no ifs ands or buts. You gotta
understand something, ever since I started to do upgrades on this car, I've
been on the dyno over a dozen times and 4 trips to the drag strip. The
only part this car is letting me down is the drag strip, everything else has
been making me smile from ear to ear. The car is great. I'm just tired of
sinking money and time into the car and not getting everything that I'm
suppose to get.

Dude if you are happy with your car don't let us change your opinion...I am happy with mine...

neihouma

I never said I was letting anyone change my opinion, when did I say that?
I said I'm pretty close to ending up selling my C32 to upgrade to a E55, that's
all.

c32used

Its easy to have opinions changed by reading other members responses...I just said it thats all..you just seem unhappy and I just wanted to say only see things in your situation don't let us bring you down if we are.

Sorry for the confusion. It's all good my man

I just read the latest Road and Track. They have write-ups on the new Ferrari, Audi, Vette and Aston Martin (all V-8). They all have HP of between 380 and 430 bhp and TQ of between 302 and 428. The 1.4 miles range from 12.0 - 13.7.

So just to be clear, most of you guys are faster than these? Even thought your HP and TQ is nowhere near??

I realized that before I bought the car how good these cars really are in basic form...I just think we expect more with mods when in reallity we only make up a little at a time with each mod....I personally think the biggest gains will always be pulleys and Tune as basic bolt ons..everything else besides NOS is a little gain at a time...every car does react different to mods.
