I'm getting ready to throw on some performance goodies. I figured before I did that I'd go ahead and get a baseline dyno run on the car. Stock everything (filters, HE, etc.). Car has 62,700 miles right now.

Run1: 286.17HP, 286.68TQ, 60.96 deg F., 28.48 in-Hg, 19% Humidity
Run2: 296.04HP, 288.87TQ, 61.59 deg F., 28.49 in-Hg, 19% Humidity
Run3: 296.70HP, 289.05TQ, 60.07 deg F., 28.49 in-Hg, 18% Humidity

All runs were performed back to back at BATLGROUND in Smyrna, GA on their 4wd Dynojet. (It's in the metro Atlanta area).

So, I'll be doing the following and then getting a redyno and posting results:

LET 185mm Pulley Install
- Sitting in a box ready to be installed this Saturday.
LET 185 Race Tune
- Paid for and just have to visit the tuner for the flash
K&N or Green filters
- Going to order this week. Guess it doesn't matter what?
Maybe a Code 3 filter. Maybe. (anybody wanting to sell one??)

Have a good night!

Don't waste your time with drop in filters on your stock air cleaner assy. I'm not 100% sure that they'll fit(but should) but if you're going with big pulley setup you should install either complete SL55 intake or Needswings............you'll pick up a healthy amount of power.

jturkel

nice numbers for stock! sounds right.

if you do filters, do K&Ns......Greens for some reason sometimes fall apart or break into pieces in the boxes....not good IMO

You can see gains with these cars with filters....C32used did several 1/4mile runs and had different trap speeds with different filters.

The SL55 intake setup does fit. I have the full setup (air boxes, hoses, and splitter. it requires some modification to fit the car and the cover wont fit. you can get an SL55 cover but it will also need some modification to fit.

the needswings intake does not currently fit on the C32. however, rumor has it that there may be one in the works....

What gear where you dynoing in?

Gramma_Benz

Awsome, can't wait to see your results!

I'm waiting for my 185 pulley right now. Already have a LEt tune, but I'll have to send it back in for a 185 update.

Congats!

They have a Dynjoet 4wd chassis dyno. It's model 424x-4wd.

Tried to dyno my friends Jeep SRT-8 while we were there but couldn't get the traction control / ABS to cooperate. He'll be going next time to get a dyno run on it.

Moparrbust, Jturkel - Thanks for the comments on the filters. I'll give it a second thought... The SL55 setup is pricey though isn't it?

jturkel

it cost me about $278 shipped for all new parts from www.parts.com. This included the splitter, both air boxes, stock 55 AMG air filters, and the larger hoses.....i upgraded the stock filters for K&Ns though for another $30 (used).

I got the complete SL55 setup from my local M-B dealer(at their cost) for $259 and then threw K&N drop in filters in that setup. With just that mod my Crossfire ran a 12.85@109 which seemed like a good investment.


Maybe you could buy a used setup off of one of the SL guys and save big. my .02

At least I wasn't the only one with better runs right after another. Nice results, post your results post modifications.

Good looking numbers man. I was actually wanting to go hit up a dyno myself here around atlanta and had thought about hitting up Batlground

maybe when you head back up Ill bring my C55 up there too

What did they charge for 3 pulls?

Biscuit

$55 for three pulls. ($65 if you're doing an AWD car)

They're mainly an import shop. I asked if they'd ever had a C32 there before but they hadn't...nor had they ever had 'any' mercedes there before, hehe. Seem like nice guys though. I'll be returning there for my "after" results.

Those are nice HP and TQ numbers.
I did 281 WHP on a Mustang dyno with mods.
After you do the tune, intake and pulley, you would have created an awesome beast!

The Green filters don't fit into the airbox properly, at least mine didn't. There was a gap between the box and the filter. I sent them back and put in stock air filters.

jturkel

K&Ns fit just fine.

RedBull

You're going to love it. I just picked mine up today after getting the 185 installed along with a new Johnson pump, tune, and Denso plugs. It's a whole new beast now.
