Beautiful man. Take your time and do it right once. I like your style.
It's just super expensive and slows progress, car season has started on the east coast and if I take it out I have to put around because of the garbage tune it has.
I just want to document everything because besides the little help I've gotten from a few in this community, there's not many that give out pointers or path to positive 1/4 mile ET or dyno numbers etc. And alot of scam artists within the mercedes performance world. Also I have to figure this out mostly for the first time and want to put it out there for anyone that wants to do it themselves or know what these cars are capable of going the route I'm going.
Please do man. I love your post. I have to give this thread another read since your approach is similar to what I plan. But nowhere as wild.
Currently installing the usual, headers, mid pipes and the x pipe and ROW boxes. I just purchased 86 tuning package as well. The plan is to run it for a month or so on 93 then it’s off to 150 shot setup. If she holds up nicely I’d like to go stage 3 as well.

That will be a nice setup for sure. I want to spray a 150 shot on mine too but I ended up going with the weistec instead right off the bat. I also think you'll be happy with one of Barry's tunes.
no unfortunately not, it's just sitting in my garage. I haven't looked at it in almost 3 months. I'm investing every last bit of time and money I have into opening my business.
Haven't done much over the last 6 months or so, but I finally made sone progress in the last 2-3 weeks. First I finally went with Barry Eightysixtuned to tune my car, at first we had a few issues etc that I needed to check out. We were getting lots of misfires on tuning upshfting and downshifting as well as part and full throttle pulls. First initial plan was to replace coils and check plugs. Plugs were brand new with about 100 miles of putting around on them.
Ordered new set of coils checked plugs and went out logging and still seeing plenty misfires with cruising through town to hit my test road. I was about 3/8 tank so I thought let me fill up with fresh 93 as I had a suspicion that my fuel was ****. Filled up with fresh 93 and and cruised a bit while logging for Barry. Turns out the sunoco in my town has **** gas and diesel for whatever reason. You could literally see my logs clearing up, so after that I made a few test hits and running out of fuel with the 60mm pulley on 93, my meth kit is still not finished so just 93. So we talked and I dropped back down to the 67mm pulley for the time being till I redo my fuel system, and in the logs it still shows I'm running out of fuel..... I guess you can say the ported blower, inlet bigger TBs and intakes are helping it breathe majorly!! So I still have one more map to try and log to check my fuel system status and engine performance and health, otherwise my tuning is paused till I upgrade.
I also Had some time to upgrade a few things while installing my new coils and checking plugs.. I have the first and possibly the only!! 63 motorsports blue anodized oil filter cap on my car and the color is a close match being anodized vs powder coat.
Also, had time to install my own modified polyurethane front differential mount. It was a pain in the *** to install honestly, and driving easy around town it made very little to no sound difference now at WOT lol, I can hear every noise thus car makes in the cabin but I know it's not going to flex and cause my driveshaft to rub anymore. Which was a decent amount of flex even when drag launching this thing when it was still NA.
But you guys want to see pictures and not hear me ramble on,, so ill shut the **** up and here they are..
Got some cool 7 eleven pics in also.
Plus I still need to pick up a killer chiller or interchiller in the future as well.
Started my own business and I'm poor now so car mods will be slower going till business picks up.
I was having some random missfires too during logging, did a tune up and it's been great since. There is no doubt Barry will have you making insane power once you have it all sorted - looking forward to seeing your progress!
I'm having some rubbing issues with my driveshaft too that I'll have to diagnose when I have time. It gouged into my drivers side exhaust the last time I was at the track.

Ok, I haven't been on here in a while and thought I should update this instead of just social media.
