I can't help but think how robust AMG must make the transmission and diffs in these cars (knock on wood). This continues to be a good example and there are many others too..

Your shifts are right on, it even sounds like your shifting manually. The only shift you may want to look at is when 3rd goes into 4th. Again without logging your passes it's hard to guess at what rpm that took place.

The Viper pass almost happened in "C mode", comfort. One of my wires came loose from wiring up my Brabus shift knob light. The lanes were always moving and I lost sport mode. So I ripped up my shift knob cover plate and was wiring the car up on the spot. I just fixed it in the nick of time. I didn't even have time to put it back together so I'm racing with my console all over the place. Kinda funny.

Congrats hooleyboy! Awesome runs!

After a few passes. My lady asked me if I could make my car any faster? I said "I could but it cost money" She seemed into it after she went to the drags... So I guess I will be looking for some more power adders.

Wow that SC install did not take long at all. Props on your records!

damn..! that run with the viper.. holy ****..!

nicely done my friend. I expect to be seeing the same results quite soon. Shoot a 35 nos shot into the tb. The cooling is worth just as much as the shot

I will be running @ www.wingedwarrior.net in indiania on May 9th gunning for the title Jcart has some MT's ....if i can convince him to let me run on a few passes I think I can get it down in the 11's with you Hooley

Great job setting the bar!

2 weeks from now I will be in Chicago getting some fresh dyno numbers ... see how well this old dog is doing too

Might be calling you for a Zex system. I will also have my bumper off this week so I will get you all the info you need for the ***** to the wall Eurocharged H/E. Funny thing is 11.98 was done on a stock C32 heat exchanger.

Sniff, sniff, I smell a challenge Now i'm going to have to dig into my box of tricks. I might have to keep my mods from this point on secret. Really though records are meant to be broken, It feels good to be sitting on top, but some one will be faster soon enough. I don't see it lasting long its only an 11.98. I even think I can beat that with some more tuning. Until then I would love to see some more C55's head to the limit, if there ever is such a thing.

Congrats on the times, records and getting the car to an even lower 1/4 mile time! If you had to do it all over again would you do the AMG retrofit or go with the Kleeman SC kit?

hooleyboy

I dont think I would Retro fit again. This car is amazing when racing and around town, but I think I'm would like to go a more conventional way. I think the AMG blower can make more boost than Kleemann or Renntech so thats a plus. That only helps me though when i get into an engine build.

loungn14

where you going in chicago?

Not a problem my friend. I have some ideas for you as well on that, but need the dimensions.

MINE! tee hee

NICE, your car is a beast out of the hole and to half track!!! I wish I could pull low 1.6x 60's dang it..................but I only have 367rwtq.

JonMBZ

Man your car is so sexy, watched the dyno vid and it gave me goosebumps hearing it. Can't imagine the feeling driving it. Nice work!

hooleyboy

This is what its like to drive it on the track:

I was totally not expecting to get that kind of a launch at all I was thinking a 1.9 maybe a 1.8 60FT. When I launched it took my breath away the Hoosiers gripped and I almost passed out. The 1.6 60FT felt like a sucker punch, didnt even see it coming. I almost passed out. For real I got a bit dizzy because I didn't even know this car had that 60FT in it.

On the street:
Its just like any other car, Its rather sublime. When You stomp on it though it gets up and moves. Some times the trans has no idea what to do with all the wheel spin and shifting gears. Some times ESP kicks in near a gear change and the car shifts and cuts power.. That makes for a nice delay. If my trans could talk when that happens it would say "I dont know what to do?!"

Its a fish tailing monster.

Excellent times Hooley!

I have a question though, how come E55s with your same power output are running like 11.7s and your, being lighter, are running a tad bit slower?

I read about your MT and everything, but something seems amiss here...

hooleyboy

I'm running a TCU tune right now. I didnt have it my last time out. were I was trapping at 117. Wheel spin will also play a roll in trap speed. Maybe my trans has alot of pressure in it with the TCU tune it maybe slowing my speed down. I going to work on it this week at the shop. My tire pressure was also 14lbs. IF it isnt any of those then I have no idea.

cruzinquick

If torque was lower and hp was higher then you would see the mph. Also a big difference in boost, just because it's SC doesn't mean it's the same motor. It's still a n/a motor with a lower compression ratio. Much like a bracket car. I don't recall many E55's with that kind of 60'.

He knocked a full second from his previous time. That's on par with E55 running 12.15 with one mod if any, and fully modded knocking that full second off at 11.15. Once the top end hp is discovered or the ecu just needs time to adapt, it will come alive.

We will have to make a side by side pass on video to get the full visual version of the N/A vs SC motor. I predict he will have at least a car on me for the better part of half track, then the SC motor will come alive and we tie at the stripe. Sound good Hooley?

hooleyboy

Your on. wait until I get my TCU adjusted again. then I will have you dead to rights and a full belly from the dinner you are going to buy me.

Really though You will tree me and I wont win. On a plus side for me my lower boost makes for cooler temps.

cruzinquick

I think you have at least a tenth on me now, so the tree will be important. Traction is a must for you. I can soft launch and still be fine. Your torque monster is a bit harder to tame. That's why I said a best out of 3. So if your cooler you should remain consistent when I slow down. It should be a very close race. How about we do 2 sets of races and switch cars?
