The C55 made a good amount of reliable power. The extra power over stock, paired with all of the weight savings, made this car very quick. We were going to move forward with a supercharger system and make some bigger numbers, but decided to keep it where it was at for reliability purposes.

interested
In the first post you mention that compression was raised: to what exactly? Got the part about beefed up internals, was just curious as to the details of the engine build

Modified pistons, lighter, higher compression 12 :1
Rebalance crankshaft
Modified zylinder heads, porting, combustion chamber, valve springs, valves (valves are same size but lighter).
Intake manifold modified internally, custom shorter runners for better peak performance.

Transmission reinforced
Torque converter with high stall speed (200 rpm), this is for higher idle speed mainly.
