I got a 1/4mi time of 14.2 sec at 100.2mph at the track. Magazine tested my car 0-60 times at 5.8 sec.

My car is a 98 C43, stock.

CLK 43K + extras:

In about 2 weeks, I'll have approximately 500HP and 490lb-ft torque (will be verified by dyno). I expect my 0-60 to be about 4.7 and my qtr mile 12.5 sec. August 11th, I will be entering in a drag competition (race), and hope to have my car complete by then. I expect to be pushing about 570HP and 530lb-ft torque, so a qtr mile of 12.2-12.4 wouldn't be out of the question. I'll keep my fingers crossed.

zzzzooooooommmm !!!

Ben,

What kind of "extras" do you have over the SC? What else do you intend to put into your car on August 11? I am interested in modding my C43 and have been considering the Kleemann SC as well.

Thanks,
Baron

Just a few minor tweaks I hope to have our cams and headers ready by August so I can let loose on everyone else at the track

krisk85

thats not what i meant. what i meant was, i dont know hte numbers. I know what car it is. Just have never dyno'd or done 1/4 mile. And about 0-100, dad isnt the type to let his testostorone run loose, so i dont think ill ever see him doing anything like that. Althought when i get hte car in september for uni. Ill try it then

hey mach,

What type of HP gains do you expect to get out of the headers? approximately what price are those evosport headers going to go for?

IDOITBST

what could someone max their HP out of a CLK55 ???

CLIFF

Mach430

I can't talk about pricing until we have finished R&D and testing. There are a variety of factors which come in to play concerning pricing, and they all must be calculated at that time. Dynographs will be provided at their release showing true HP/Torque gains. I am expecting bigger gains from my headers than a stock 430 because I have more air going in (which needs to get out).

Maxing out any engine depends on many factors; primarily money and reliability. A reliable 5.5L engine without being rebuilt to handle more boost could put out 650+HP with some easy modifactions. However, with reliability and power comes price. It would be cheaper to slap a bunch of NOS into the stock 5.5L engine and get big gains, however they would not last very long!

Thanks

Ben I'm ready to get big headers. So, where and who sells them for the CLK 430?
