ESS Supercharger 1/4 Mile

Got a chance to run our shop C63 with ESS Supercharger, longtube headers and our engine and transmission mounts at the track today. 6psi low boost pulley and 93 octane with full interior to get baseline numbers. Ran a 10.9@131.9 first pass with only a 1.7 60'. With a better 60' this kit is capable of mid tens at low boost and 93 octane! This is with the Gen 2 kit. Their gen 3 is probably even faster! Let us know if you would like a ESS kit. We have sold quite a few gen 3 kits

2009 pre facelift C63

​​​​​​​Unfortunately we couldn't stay long and get the launch down. Catching a flight to Florida now. Next time out we will try 8psi and get the 60' down some. Hot lapped a 10.8@132 with 1.70 60' and had to leave

That's great. Biggest issue is trying to get these cars to leave hard, which in itself will present other issues...
Looking forward to progress.

We will work on it but won't have time for a few weeks

Yes this is with the box tune that comes with the kit. The only changes besides head studs are ECE engine and transmission mounts, MBH headers, and drag radials. Otherwise it's the Gen 2 ESS kit the way it is sold.

Nice times.
I would like to install a ESS charger package on mine. Just have to wait for our currency to get a bit stronger.

Thanks Mario! These will serve as the baseline numbers for the kit as is with headers. Can't wait to see what your car does with the new setup!! 💪
