Looking for a C55 in the NJ area

Our N/A products for the v6 have sparked a lot of interest in the M113 owners. So as a result we will be moving into the v8 arena to offer some of our goodies.

To get our products moving we will need a volunteer in the NJ area for 1-2 weeks. The mods we are looking to do are all bolt on and can be easily removed and not void the warranty. Volunteer has the choice of keeping the mods at the end for a very generous discount.

We prefer a fully stock car, but if you are modded and interested we'll take a look too.

Thanks,

Anthony

You are a little more than an hour's drive from me. What mod's do you propose. I may be game but, already have a fairly modified car.

Its a shame that you are so close and yet have no mods for the c126 v8's.

I may be interested. I'm in Philly and have a fully stock C55 (except resonator delete)

Per previous poster, would also like to know what mods you are planning.

Thanks

Basically the mods we are looking at doing are ECU tuning, improved intake system, catch can installation, and address other weak points.

If we can net 10% more power throughout the power band we will be very happy. I feel this is very achievable, just have to put my hypothesis to work.

I'd be more then happy to mod your car. I'm just not sure if there is a market justifying full R&D and production of parts. But if you want to stop by I'm sure we can squeeze more power out of it.

When did you pick that up?

It's way too hard keeping track of your cars...


As for the catch can, this essentially reduces the oil in the intake manifold. Reduced oil increases the combustion efficeincy by not having the effective octane decreased as much. It's a good all around mod for both N/A and FI cars, especially High HP ones. It's cheap and very effective. You'd be surprised how much oil these things catch.

I have seen affrodable little set ups that do this, but none seem to have the right diameter inlets/outlets for our application... Is this catch can set up available to purchase for the m112/m113? (Im assuming they have the same sized hose going from the driver side valve cover to the MAF elbow)

The catch can is set up to work with these engines. It's on the Crossfire now and I'm not positive if the hose lengths and location of the can itself are going to be the same.

Vibrant Performance just released an extremely verstile set up that has holes for all the ins and outs these cars have. It will raise the price some but will look super clean.

Advans,

We just acquired a C43, once that's finished we have an E55 project set up and then we can make arrangements for your car if you'd like.
