C450/43 1/8 mile times
Recently I took a C450 AMG to the Drag strip and wasn’t too impressed with the 1/8 mile times. The best time the vehicle ran was 8.349 @ 88.2 mph. I was expecting slightly better times given it has weistec downpipes, MST performance intakes and stage 2 tune.. I was hoping to get any insight on modification suggestions or even run times.(modified or stock)

Need more info, lets see the timeslip, DA, wheels tires, how u launched, etc. Something is definitely off because I ran faster than that on a hot day on ****ty CA 91 gas, JB4 map 1 on heavy *** 20"s.

I couldn’t find the best time slip but this was a run with a w205 450, vehicle has 19’ wheels, MST performance intakes, weistec downpipes and 91 stage 2 tune. Ambient temp was probably about 78-80 degrees when the runs took place.

I dont see the DA but it must of been pretty bad if a c63 is running that slow. Are u getting full boost? That stage 2 tune even on 91 should be getting you at least 4psi of boost over stock.

It was a c450, I was expecting to do way better than a stock w204 c63. But I’m not too sure I was trying to get my tuner to send me the driving logs to see but he didn’t seem to bothered to look it..

Yeah u might be really low on boost.... https://mbworld.org/forums/c450-c43-...-no-boost.html this might be the reason esp since u dont have a check engine light.
