C32/C55 AMG
Thats great that you stopped in at dyno comp. They are the real deal. Its time to double the boost and go beat my record. I made 482whp I think those guys can get you past that mark. As for my personal set of long tubes.. I'm not sure if they are for sale. If the insurance company pays me what i want I'm walking away from the C55.
My headers on my car are not the currant production header. I hit a pot whole and damaged the headers. So the night before Famoso We stayed up until 1AM fixing them. They ended up being 1 inch shorter in runner size. Nothing else we could do in that kind of a pinch. If I do get the headers back I will alter them to fit the new car. and make them longer..
420whp is respectable, knowing you can get a bunch more power out of it. You should be able to pass my 482whp mark and my 11.55.
Honestly I cant believe my records held for so long. I'm just a steward of the C55 records. They will be broken. 11.55 and 121mph should make for a fun benchmark. I'm just happy to have helped push people to want to beat it.
As of right now My C55 is not the fastest out there... There is now someone out there who has the worlds fastest C55 and they may not even know it.
Who knows, As of late I'm getting kinda talked into buying another C55... Hooleyboy 2.0??? A custom plate would be in order. I was thinking "DO OVER"

Win, win situation if you ask me.

For all the Kleemann S7 and S8 owners, They have a general idea of the pure madness a blown C55 is. So not only being faster than both of those cars really meant a lot to me. As I have a ton of respect for them.
Thanks Mike, Mike (Alumar) and I love our cars (S7) and take great care of them like you did. We don't have the "pure power" that you did, BUT I also like my passive reliability and the ability to run std 93 octane at $3.00 a gallon versus your $8 bucks a gallon 100 !! You are correct though, nothing beats the "pure madness" of a blown C55, not even some of the E55s I've had the privilege to drive which were indeed quicker BUT didn't have the same raw feeling as the C55. The E55s are like an executive express and the C55 blown is like going into the UFC with no gloves and just hammerin away!! Funny thing is, I had the S7 and the Honda Accord V-6 side by side today, and they are about the same size in the back end. The S7 /C55 however, has a pure sexxiness and bruteness that just can not be denied.

Yes Dingleberry, insurance premiums are a ripoff because I single handedly raised everyones rates due to a valid claim. All of the details are none of your business, but I did'nt even give the insurance company a dollar amount, their starting offer was $15k and I accepted, I could have easily received $20k.
Now go ruin someone elses thread not this tribute thread.

Finally, I've got the tuning support I needed to take it to the next level.

Kleemann has advised me not to exceed 1 bar before that blower runs out of efficiency. These units are 2.0 litres and NOT the Kenne Bell units that are 2.2 to 2.8 litres. Those bad boys can run 30psi without a problem but my block won't be able to take it even if I swapped out the Kleemann for a Kenne Bell.

it's not exact but it's very close. it's true, if you're not cooling the intake air then you lose some power from hear for sure.
as an example, my isuzu 1.8L motor makes 108 HP n/a, 225 HP at 14 psi, and 425 HP at 30 psi (with race gas)

I'm not an expert but I don't think doubling the boost will result in a linear growth in HP. I think it will be a curvelinear with more of a declining slope than a inclining slope moving from linear. This is likley because of more backpressure, heat, more NA horsepower to spin the pullies (parasitic loss).

So, at 5.5psi my car makes ~400 to the wheels-so at 11psi I should make 800?! Boost doesnt work like that....in any application.

Mike's saying that N/A vs. 1 bar (14.7 psi) would effectively double output, assuming proper compressor efficiency, cooling, and fuel. Because you've doubled the airflow consumed by the engine. Jump to 2 bar (near 30 psi) and you'd see a similar effect, assuming the same aforementioned items.
He's not saying "go from 3 psi to 6 psi doubles output" - which what you (correctly) refute.

You are correct in your example - but misquoting the post you're referencing.
