Mercedes SLC43
In. New Zealand, No problem with elevation here. Track would be around 100m above sea level The GLC has the advantage of traction. A good friend had a GLC a very different drive from the SLC

I could spin my stock run flats through first and second with just a Eurocharged tune, and even with tires with half of the UTGQ I still chirp first on a fully prepped drag strip (better tires netted a 1.880 60ft down from 2.1).
Unless you're going to fit a very aggressive tire package I can imagine you'll struggle to keep traction for at least the first 60-100 feet with an upgraded turbo package and a full E85 tune.

@C43HeartBoost glad you took responsibility for the bad because I was about to light you up! Been drag racing for years, @hmcparland you are correct with a 2.45 60ft the time and mph are worthless. Bet you would put up some reaaallllyy impressive numbers your next go around. With my Eurocharged tune and intake, I know my car has a 11.99 or better in it with good air (DA) and some cool temps. I'm in MD, and hoping to maybe get to the track tonight.
Were you tuned prior to getting the turbo upgrade? If so, was the turbo upgrade the same butt dyno feeling? What I'm asking is stock vs. tuned was night and day (for me), and I'm assuming tuned vs. turbo upgrade was the same feeling? Thanks for your response in advance brother!
Side note- my man Bayhas @Eurocharged_HQ is getting me a MS100 tune, and I will post all of my dyno numbers (I'm going to go stock vs Eurocharged tune vs. Eurocharged MS100 tune). I know with that tune and race gas this car will really be putting up impressive numbers and quarter mile times.

This upcoming weekend I’ll likely be at Capitol on Friday unless it rains. I’ll be in a white GLC43- name is Banks. Come give me a shout if you are there.

What we really need developed are fuel mods to allow e85 tunes on this platform just like BMW/Audi tunes. E85 with tuning i am confident, would get our cars into consistent 10's 1/4mile. I'm so close now, but without a proper e85 tune I dont think its possible without risking engine failure. Upgraded turbo not needed.
It should net 30hp on top of my setup, compared to 100hp+ on E85. Call Bayhas@EurochargedBoston if you have E85 questions he is the fxxxing man and knows his shxx

Pissed me off, been trying to get there for the last month and they closed for OC car show. And then MIR was running some type of bracket weekend with no T&T.
