running out of mods on cl65, advice?
any suggestions for a brand of methanol kit for my cl65? car is maxed out and thinking im almost out of options for mods.
mods considering:
cat delete(but already have 200 cell cats)
methanol injection
custom fabbed ram air(have scorpion intake, just not thrilled of 2 cones on a hot engine being efficient)
supplemenatal front mount heat exchanger
car runs 10.9@126.5
speedriven ecu/tcu-100oct
intercoolers
intake
exhaust
trunk res
looking for a consistant trap of at least 127 mph

Meth: http://www.alkycontrol.com/ , Julio is a very cool guy...I know he is selling alot of kits now for the new V S/C'd Caddy's. Methanol injection works very well and his kit is progressive...But E85 is the best for boost, 110 octane at the cost of regular unleaded. Been down both roads albeit w/ a Buick but boost is boost...no knock ever w/ E85 and cool cylinder temps, big IC doesn't matter w/ E85...helps w/ methanol. If your just looking for that small of a trap speed increase, Meth should easily get you the extra boost..FWIW, a stock GN can achieve around 12 more lbs of boost w/ Meth alone.

Agree that meth injection is a huge difference. It will get you more torque than race fuel (I base this on other turbo cars, otherwise identical, where the guy with meth got way more torque than the guy with race gas, even though similar hp). You should probably look at a strengthened tranny at that point, possibly strengthened half shafts. A LSD will help your times, not so much your speed. I'm pretty sure the CL65 doesn't have one from the factory. I think meth will help more than turbos. It's not that it can't make enough boost, it's that there's too much heat which means pre-detonation and high IAT. Meth will help with both of those.

wow... 9sec at 140? awesome....
I cant wait for the stage 7
"remove glass,seats,stereo, carpeting,headliner,glovebox,spare,trunklining,nav \dvd,mat,rear brakes,exhaust,washerfluid" kit.
I heard the stage 8 kit consists of removing the driver and throwing a cinderblock on the gas pedal while dropping it in drive remotely...

thanx.
You need to drive this thing. Its nothing like it was last time you drove it. When is the next MIR rental? There is no way we can make this one comming up this weekend but we'll deffinetly be looking for a track thats still open really soon. I want to get it up to about 28-29psi on race gas and see where the numbers land. Than its track time

Still don't have a complete figure on the official price as we are still refining the package. We recently decided that the kit will include a trans upgrade along with it, since both Marko's trans and soulsearchers trans had a short life after turbo upgrades were done.
