Jim, both cars will be back here soon enough. Doing some final tweaking to squeez a few more hp out of the CLK and a couple more little events in California before shipping the cars home to Chicago. They should both be back here by mid April and then it's off to Byron. Keep in touch man.

Saw the vids, IMPRESSIVE!, some are almost painful to watch, I mean, if I claim 888whp and lose like that... damn!, that's gotta be tough, but special mention to the absolute crushing of that M5... you made it look like the guy was going in reverse... OUCH!
The whole point is to have THE fastest BS's in the world or are there plans for circuit racing?, just wondering...

Some might say this is comparing apples to oranges (and it kinda is) but considering the same displacement I was wondering what psi you would need to run on the S3 kit to hit say 800whp? Curious because a guy is hoping for that number on his ZR1 and he has heads and cam upgrade along with running over 20psi..22 to be exact if i am not mistaken.

I have a 2012 coupe and was looking to retrofit the black series trans and oil cooler since ill be doing drag racing and time attack/hpde but if weistec is building units that are better than the black series coolers I'd wait for those.. So are these going to be released to us mortals or was it a custom job

Are you using the standard black series radiator oil and trans cooler? Or do you mean cooling for the supercharger aka heat exchangers?

Weistec already installed heat exchangers, their are additional oil and trans cooling mods engineered and designed by Weistec going on the car....realy really slick set up. Obviously the stock Black Series has significant oil, trans and dif cooling upgrades over a standard C63 but with the added heat and performance the Weistec 3.0 blower will make I stressed to them that I want to make sure this car can run for 20-30 minute hard stints on a road course with no heat related issues so theirnengineers went to work and came up with an incredible solution that will be of major interest to anyone that runs their Weistec powered C on a road course.
With only the use of ambient air or?

Ahmad, I want to for sure, both cars are still out in California, I have a couple events out there later this monthand early next month then the cars are coming back home to Chicago. You planning any more events in mid or late April? I read about todays event, sounds like you guys had decent a good time. What is new with your CLK, you always have something going on with that monster?

C63 Amg Black Series
Build Update
First round of mods are complete, here is a little list of some of what is on the car right now.
The mod list so far...
Weistec Stage 3 Supercharger System running 11-12psi boost
Custom 2" primary Long Tube Headers
Custom 3" X-pipe
Weistec Trunk Ice tank
Weistec Oil / Air Separator
Weistec Carbon Fiber Drive Shaft
Custom Heat Exchanger set up (Road Race set up)
Custom Oil Cooler (Road Race Set up)
....and some amazing wheels that I can not talk about right now
Still waiting for a few other things. I am having a custom set of KW adjustable shocks and adjustable KW springs for the rear made, the stock rear suspension on this car is not too impressive when compared to the front, AMG cut some corners here.
I will be running the car at the No Fly Zone airstrip event in California next Saturday 3/2/13 so there should be plenty of V-box data, videos and numbers.

Started working on my C63BC, MBH headers will go on soon..weistec tune done aswel. was thinking what best to do about the rear end of the car so would be great to get your feedback on the kw springs and how i can get my hands on a 'custom' set-or should i just go for their standard equipment for this car. Front end of the car feels really tight and solid so dont think i want to touch it at all. If you can, please pm the price of the KW's.
Was also thinking of getting the wavetrac LSD from weistec any idea of the locking % vs stock BS LSD? what would be your choice when it comes to LSD stock?wavetrac?quaife?
ur wheels look GREAT btw!

do you have any pics of the new bigger coolers? Its not often someone actually goes through the lengths to have "race" cars built properly much less use them like you. Id love to see what they came up with. Im hoping to get our stage 2 C63 out to the road course once it cools off a little more.

Here is a pic of my AMG Diavel my C63 BS and one of my race trailers from an airstrip event this summer. Note, Diavel was bone stock in this pic, I have since upgraded to the carbon and ti Termignoni exhaust, 100% custom PC mapping and pretty much every other cf part that is available for the bike, a new seat(didn't want to ruin the suede one) and new bars. It makes 156whp(Dynojet) now with all the mods. Bike is a monster with traction control all the way off, even with the long wheelbase it rips the front wheel off the ground through three gears while smoking the back tire.
