C63 Production Race car

We are looking to build a Production Race car with reasonable but limited modifications.
Has anyone here done something like this? Engine mods are almost free.
Engine will be standard at first with bolton upgrades like intake and open headers with no Cats and side pipes, We will be running Motec M800 management and E85 Race Ethanol. Does anyone know what power is possible in this spec?
Im hoping for close to 600hp as ive had huge gains in our local 6.0ltr Horrible Holdens using LS Chev engines and would expect the MB engine to well out perform a 2valve USA engine.
Trans will be a 6speed Holinger Dogbox with Flatshift.
Any tips? Thanks.
Local V8 Holden Commodores dominate this class in Australia so we have quite a low spec car to beat.

Here's a combo that is sure to get you over 600 bhp: 1) Front intake scoops, 2) Renntech air boxes, 3) MHP LT's, and 4) your own custom tune on E85 race gas.

Not very hard to do.

Do you already know whether the transmission setup you have planned will fit and function well on this car?

The Trans is perfect for this setup, Any ratios we like, Very light and handle power well above this application. Australias V8 Supercars use this Gearbox.

If you want to build something. Build something competetive. Motec M800 wont do much for this engine, do it and you will be shocked at how diffrent members in this forum will be killing you when racing.

Check out C63 do at Super Star series in Italy.

They all run with Motec, special racing header, special intake, special suspension, wide fender, etc. Tanny is sequential.

Maybe some of team can help you out. Couple days ago I posted air box from Super Star series so please take a look at it.

Here is the link. Check out the team and contact them will be a great idea. I think they can help out plus able to buy parts that they really use at the race.
