I guess i will let the picture speak for themselves.. All I know is the car is insane! and stupid fast! Had to rework the intake to get this car dialed in.

let me be first to say congrats. Sick ride...my thought is that dyno-comp might get a few more S/C orders from C55'ers.

Very nice! What's that come out to for engine hp/tq? And what 1/4 mile times would you be expecting?

I think the dyno-Dynamics dyno looses about 23% on average but it can get up to about 27%. IMO I don't care who's car it is, these are big numbers for for a Dyno-Dynamics dyno

I would say thats about 552hp and 642tq at the flywheel

Absolutely sick numbers. I'm glad you hit your goal of 450rwhp even in the face of some doubters on here.

Definitely need to see some track numbers now!

Good lord!! Is it safe to assume this exceeded your expectations?? I would think an LSD would be a necessity now...Tell us more what it's like to drive!
Congrats Mike!

Congrats Mike!
hows 80mph wheel spin sound. This thing is insane! And the numbers are far greater than i ever expected. Only this is I get a little bucking at 2200rpms from time to time. Fear not that will be fixed with a new file on Wednesday.

I can lay down a duel strips in almost any gear. I am truly afraid of this car.

Not an AMG :(
That's just fantastic Hooleyboy - Congratulations!
I can only imagine how happy you are!

Now you have Stage I complete.

Do yourself a huge favor and start thinking of Stages II, III, and IV:

Stage II: Testing and independent verification of the above results.

Stage III: Maintenance and Detection.
Obtain a very good data-logger and ensure your motor's continued good health by always monitoring AFR and other vital parameters.

Stage IV: Enjoy your new beast!

I got to give a big thanks to the guys at Dyno-Comp. They knocked this car out of the park. Also like to thank Wayne at LET/Eurocharged for letting us use STAR We were able to detect a very slight knock at redline only and it has been addresses.

Congrats! I see you got the boost figured out. What was your final pulley diameter and how much boost are you running now and what's your AFR?

Now go out there and challenge Blackbenzz for the title. I hope we can all meet up at Irwindale drags in April.

Just one question. Why is the torque out of proportion to the HP? I got a crazy torque number like 574 on a dyno-dynamics and Vadim as well as other forum members told me it was wacked and I agree. I think I posted it hear unde Aborted Dyno due to lean condition.

Again Congrats on your dedication and commitment. Also mad props to the DynoComp team. They are definitely very professional.

Dyno-Dynamics can show torque converter lock up and that can result in a huge spike in torque. In my case there is no torque lock up causing the spike its all wheel power. I can dig up a dyno-chart that has torque converter lock up.

This is true. I use dyno dynamics to dyno all my cars. I have had two different tunes from different tuners on my E55 and one made some 50 more rwtq right at throttle tip in which we later deduced was because of torque converter lockup.

brock agrees.....he says that a torque converter spike would not last for a 1000 RPM (like from your 2900 to 3800) range....and its smooth.

Oh...and Brock wants to know if you changed your MAF or figured that issue out?

No it was the flow of the intake you seen at dyno-comp It was causing wacko A/F ratios as soon as we put this new cone filter on problem was solved. The car sounds like a jet fighter from inside. IT a really has a stupid amount of torque. Tell T.S.Brock to look for tire smoke when i pass him at 80mph. all joking aside i'm afraid of my car. The only way I can describe it is: a geeky virgin teen and the hottest chick want you bad. I truly have performance anxiety.

lol damn....brock and i want a ride when we drive back up in a two weeks or so...fyi....before beers obviously lol. hopefully the zingo guy wont be scared

and if you have any money left....maybe that can can fab you up some SS longtubes....lower the boost a littler, run a little more safely b/c of that, slightly cooler temps (not that you have those problems) and obviously more power. not those mild steel BS that may have holes in it.
