thanks,
Your right there isn't much room in the engine compartment. I spent about 5 hours looking at the drivers side trying to figure out how to get around the steering box it was a tight squeez...

Very impressive. Our next promo car will be W208 CLK55, our goal is low 12s NA, and hopefully this proves it can be done relatively easily.

I'd like to see NOS numbers, you should hopefully be able to break into the 11s (assuming you get good traction off the line and don't lose it as you spray).

Wow, why was your motor yanked? Was it for the header fab or out for other work? I kinda recall you having some tranny work done by those southern guys which makes sense.

I love the idea of tapping the Y-fittings into the intake mani pleneums. I was waiting to see that someday. Did you crack the manifold open or just remove the top cap for installing them? You probalby noticed the amount of shiat in the manifold from the PCV system. I would have given that thing a good douching and install a catch can to keep the N02 mix a lil' cleaner on it's way to combustion.

Awesome looking system!! What are your plans for fuel? and I noticed you've got the dark blue injectors when I thought the 5.5L clky used green

I pulled the motor for header fab. When I took the intake manifold off it had a lot of oil and carbon build up in it so gave it a good cleaning. The nitrous has it's own fuel system

Break into the 11's? This car will be deep into the 11's if not 10's. At least thats what I'm expecting
