I am! Next season. The plan is to hit Pocono, Limetock and maybe even Glen.

Desperately need to learn to drive.

Dyno graph in. Car makes exactly the power it should be from factory. Will scan\upload later. Fully corrected graph at the wheels.

Not the smoothest thing I've seen, but at this point I'm skeptical my intake is to blame, its proper length to preserve resonance charging (I have the HKS mushroom kit):
  • New NGK plugs
  • New plug wires
  • New coils
  • Recrafted harness
  • New knock sensors
  • Sonic-cleaned and flow tested injectors
  • Recrafted intake suckers + valvecover seals + other vacuum checkup items
  • New MAF
Looking for C43 graphs, this comes up:

Stock wheel dyno:http://www.dragtimes.com/1999-Merced...phs-11527.html
Crappy pseudo-crank dyno: www.powerchipgroup.com/datasheets/partners/113/Mer0030.pdf

No one knows. It is a random dyno graph from DragTimes.

Does anyone have any charts of their C43s?

217/219/218 hp on the three respective runs. I only have the graph of the 219 hp one. SAE corrected. This on 18x9.5 rear AMG wheels.

Torque peaked at slightly less than 240 ft-lbs, maybe 230 ft-lbs, I forgot. Torque climbed up to 95% peak at 3K nicely, but there's a nasty dip immediately afterwards. Will scan when I get home. Could be the notorious flatspot people talk about on the M104's.

Wouldn't go so far as to say it ruins the engine, but it's just not as nice as it could have been.

stock size, not 18's. some of the other 202/124 guys use the lightweight CLK 16's with 225/50/16's instead of 205/55's. You can use them too but will need spacers to clear your calipers in front, I may go back to them next year for the weight savings plus a little money savings on the tires themselves.

Oh. I don't even have monoblocks for my car. It came on the lighter wheels anyways.

17x7.5F
17x8.5R

These ones, not sure what he style is called, but significantly lighter than monoblocks. But I do honestly think that the +20 mm tire fitment gives me more time than the additional rotating mass takes away.







By the way, I was doing something with the rear of the car up in the air and noticed something funky: that spoiler is a Lorinser unit!

Does anyone know if the 16in version will clear our C36 brakes? (1996 here)

I would LOVE to pick up a set.
