finally new mods more power, more sound

i finally got my car back. its been gone for almost two months. the intake manifold, exhaust manifold, and heads were ported and polished, valve job, engine balancing, tha camshaft was modified, racing ignition wires, and intake. It already had the UD pulleys and chip. should be around 300hp (240rwhp). but i have to wait until i finish the break in period to test it out and dyno It does take off much faster but can't go past 4000rpm. i'll post dyno results in a couple of months. i think im going for a kleeman next! or other body mods. not sure yet. I also just istalled a fiberglass box with alpine type R 10" subs, and two alpine V12 amps, sounds deep clean and not too much!

WOW! Thats sweet. How much did that cost you? Who did it? That is one of the coolest 320 mods ive seen in a while. Also how is the intake run (where does the cone sit?)

will it cost too much because i had to ship the car to NY from CA because the tuners here cost even more$$$$ boykinracing.us did the job for me. i was actually prompted to not say how much it cost because he is probably not going to do it for the price he gave me lets just say it was alot but less than a kleeman. what would be the point if it was more. the intake actually comes like that. its a weird filter by BMC. the hose runs down. the piece of the cover was removed to get the cold air running underneath. Hopefully i don't get any MAF problems. but you can here it whistle, its tight.

So you took all the weight out of the front and then sank an anchor into the rear. Sounds like a fair deal !

So when can we see some dyno results (or preferably drag strip video :0) ) and hear some sound clips?? I'm sure a bunch of people on here want to see what that 6 can do!

have to wait about another month or two before any dyno or track time, i only have 1000 miles since i got it and i need around 3000 to not void the warranty that came with the mods. i have heavy *** aftermarket 19" rims that i might switch back to the stock pieces of crap that it came with when i take to the track. but i'll keep everybody posted. i better get at least mid 14s or im gonna be pissed. does anyone have 1/4 mile time for a kleeman 320? and a stock 320, that are not from mercedes but actually 1/4 mile times?
