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.
As for boost, the old Kleemann Autorotor can make up to 26psi safely due to the strenght of the SC internals and the 4x6 lobe design vs 3x5 lobe design of the AMG retro. The AMG retrofit SC makes boost with a 2:1 step up ratio while the Kleemann Autorotor has a 1.5:1 step up gear ratio. I will agree that the new Kleemann Eaton/Roots design cannot make the same boost as an AMG retrofit due to heat soak while the Renntech SC is too small in displacement.

Yeah there was an article in Mercedes Enthusiast about it a few years ago. Something like only 40 made in the world, if that.

I know for a fact in the future I will beat my own time of 11.98. There is still some work that needs to be done on the ECU. WE all feel that there is more power to be had. I also got in the works 80mm throttle body, Custom SS long tubes, trains upgrades, Driveshaft, cams, Heat Exchanger so... We still have a bunch of things to do. This car is still in a "testing" stage so I think to pull an 11.98 out of the box is rather good... I will get there soon enough. Unless an offer come in on the car i cant refuse.

However, getting into the mid to high 10's is still impressive compared to what the Exotic cars are posting on Dragtimes.
If I hit low 10's with a late model street legal European daily driver, I will drop the turbo idea and just call it quits and move on to another hobby....Unless Vadim can get me into the 9's on a $8K turbo add-on.

true that
I spent $1500 on my old evo and ran 11.7.
I was playing on modding the c55 but I dont think its worth it.
so i picked up a 91 talon for $900 and spent 5k and now it runs 10's
congrads hooley
nice to see someone think out of the box.

I was just checking Dragtimes on some other makes like Honda, Toyota, Subaru, etc.. and the records are in the 7 & 8 second range. Makes me want to just give up. Some are even fairly late model street legal versions.

I DON'T COME HERE ANYMORE
I can get a body kit
Besides, think of the insurance savings (you have declared the mods to the ins co, right?) and gas savings! Economy is tough right now...maybe a downsize in power is needed :lol:

Any why don't we get pictures of your ride and project anymore? It's for a different thread, but share some of what's going on with yours in Vadims monster garage.

Good luck with that! How are you planning on getting into low 10s w/o the turbo or twin boost setup you were talking about?

One thing I know for sure though. Hooley/Mike will probably leapfrog me a minute after I get my car done.

Visit my other thread for updates. So your'e suggesting it's not possible without turbos? Vadim thinks otherwise. Of course, I would need to do similar things that Ahmad did to lighten the car (CF hood, No spare, Lightweight battery, 16" lightweight wheels and Hoosiers/MTs, modular racing seats) but remember that Ahmad's mods are less extreme than mine and he hit 10.7 with further reductions possible once he gets the TB and run NOS. With 14-15psi of boost vs. his 8psi on a rebuilt/reinforced short block I would expect at least mid 10's.

I got some plans that are in the works. I have big time cooling mods in the works. I need to get a heat exchanger this week.

I had been trying to follow your other posts but it seems like most of those are just thoughts and speculation. Haven't found any recent pictures other than diagrams and possible directions you/Vadim were heading. Maybe I missed a thread along the way.

I'm very happy with the Code3 Heat Exchanger. It's HUGE, has a Spearco core and is a Bar-and-Plate construction vs. the much weaker Tube-and-Fin design. Of course you can always custom build one but why when the Code3 costs less than $450 and mounts right up.
