"Verrry excited"???.....Not as excited as you'll be when you "put the pedal to the metal" for the first time!
Well done....looking forward to reading your driving impressions...."before & after".
Cheers, Pickles.

Definitely going to post results at the end, but doing stuff in the interim is not something Im into. Id rather wait until its done and judge whether it met the performance goals, rather than post or look at results that will change and may seem disappointing at first. Im not even asking ACG for the results until we are all done!

Nice.

Look at SIREX63 car, he is flying.

Propain, Sirex's car will put 10-20 car lengths on you.

You do know that right?

After the supercharger maybe you can start threads like.."Is anyone else only getting 2000 miles out of their rear tires?"

Matt, I saw pics (recent I think) on FaceBook of your car up on the dyno. Is the beast ready? Any numbers?

A little over 100hp and tq gain as measured by ACGs conservative dyno. In Alabama for a deposition so don't have a computer or know how to post up the pic of the dyno sheet I was emailed from my iPhone.

100hp gain over what you were already pushing? That's impressive. I'm looking forward to hear your impression on daily drivability.

Yeah over what I have now. James I'm sure will post the full results once it's done. Right now I get to enjoy the wonderful humidity of Bama in June!

How do you feel about your AMG no longer being "One Man, One Engine"? I'm sure you won't care once you open her up up on the freeway. A blower is a pretty pricey mod. Now that you have one beast of a daily driver, what's your long term plan for the car, as in, are you keeping her?

Will be keeping the car no doubt. Definitely excited to open it up but can't also wait to see your beast when you return stateside!

Matt, you thinking about upgrading the pistons and rods?
Probably ARP head bolts too?

I'd like to honestly say I'm done with mods. But those are always my famous last words. Apparently my car put down 472HP to the wheels, an increase of just shy of 100hp gain. Apparently ACGs dyno is more conservative than the last dyno because my baseline here was 369 whereas on the other dyno in Santee when it was done months ago, it was about 414HP. Either way I'm happy with the gains. If someone emails me, I will send them the non-final dyno sheet to post. Flying back to San Diego in about 2hrs.

369 to 472.....103whp gain is pretty damn good . i'm sure you will feel every bit of that power when you hammer it

Matt, did your car fall outside of the affected headbolt issue range? I don't see anything in the FB links about you changing the headbolts.
