C32 AMG
1. He finds someone who was prepared to buy a stock C32 and do those mods.
2. He restores the car to stock and sells the mods.
Otherwise, I agree. What's worse is that many places will not touch a modded car. I had coilovers on an A6. Very high quality stuff. But no dealer or used car buyer would touch it.

Question about bigger injectors?
Airfrcd,
Since your the only one with the LET tune and larger injectors, did this solve the lack of fuel problems?
If so, in all your mods I don't see a datalogger or gauges to monitor your Air/Fuel ratio, boost levels. How do you know it's running at safe levels?
We have several SRT6 owners following your same path for the right combination, your experience can save them lots of money.
Thanks for helping out.

BTW, Isn't that verse I can do all things through Christ that strengthens me. I need to change my sig back, it used to be "I race on God's Blessings"

I noticed you have the Braille battery. How does it keep a charge for daily use? I'm on my second one for my track car and the damn thing barely starts the car two days in a row.

Airfrcd,
Thank you for replying. Strength, courage, patience, understanding are all whats needed when we mods our cars. I too gain my strength through Christ, and have a special angel watching over me at the track. Although the weight differences in our cars are vast the engine modifications are similiar. I decided to follow a path laid out for me that included the 178mm pulley, plus a few bolt on's. I believe I have the fastest semi-stock SRT6 around. Yes there are a few faster, but I still have my stock exhaust, stock cooling, and stock plugs and wires. If you are looking for the most powerful and reliable setup I would mimic MDSRT6's setup. Even with a 150 shot of nitrous his A/F ratio's were still very stable. He did have a custom piggy back ECU setup for the nitrous. While running 11.50's on all motor and running 11.70's on nitrous he never ran into fuel issues. Many will say that his nitrous system helped keep fuel issues away, but couldn't explain how he could do it on all motor. Much like you he ported his supercharger, and also did his heads but did them by himself. I believe you have the core parts of what you need, and simply changing the pulley and getting the right setup for your ECU will get you in the 11's. At this point I would have them swap pullies and start tuning your optimum setup with or without nos and you should not see boost or fuel issues. The best of luck for you and hopefully see you in the 11's soon.

My favorite as a child besides Phil 4:13(I have that verse as you enter my home), was John 14:6. Ok off the soapbox and back to the race seat.
