Took the GLC to the track..

It was a really fun turn out at Barona Speedway. Traction was the main issue accompanied by 94 degree heat wave. True driver skill came out. I ran 7.2 at my best with tons of wheel spin and heat soaked. My 60ft time were horrible at low 1.8 and high 1.7’s.

I finally had a working tune tune with my upgraded fuel pumps. Here are some videos including me roasting a M5 Competition.

Keep in mind on that race my car went limp mode as I tried to run JB4 Map3 6psi over. I cut out about 7/8 way down and rolled through for the win. Man this thing can move. Can’t wait for it to cool down and get some 1/4th mile runs as well. Of course I’m continuing to make this car all it can be.

Like how you posted over on Bimmerpost in the X3M Comp thread. . If that X3MC did 3.5 to 60, pretty impressive. Still like the 63 a bit better, but damn that’s some good numbers stock he did.

Upgraded fuel pumps have worked wonders. Still having overboosting issues low end but going to tone down the torque and increase boost up top and taper nicely

Fuel pumps are plug and play. Next issue may be upgrading the low pressure to keep up with the demand. As of now on rolling races I can boost 25psi however lowend nothing over 22psi.

I have reached the point where it takes so much more power to gain 10’s of a second. Waiting for it to cool down and get a nicely prepped track. I will be in the 7.0x’s and should be lined up for the 10.9x

Last week I headed out and ran 7.5 @ 99mph lol.

Of course traction is my issue issue at this point with a horrible prepped track but from my numbers my top end is far ahead

Im sure you got a 7.0-6.9 in it. Sounds like you need a set of c63 20” rims with drag radials on the rear.

That little 4.0 is just a hot motor. I ran a 7.91 just hitting a 0-60 run and the getting off the gas and coasting. This is stock,on bald tires and asphalt.

Yours will be crazy with good traction.

I have done a 3.47 with a completely stock GLC 63s. I tried to get a couple of runs in yesterday and it felt like a beast(first time it's been under 95 degrees in about 5 months) but spun really bad on both both runs and ran 3.77 and a . My tires are bald.

These are crazy times for a stock SUV especially if you look at the 1ft rollout.

My car is completely stock as of right now.

I dropped DME as a supporting tuner for a couple reasons. Not bad mouthing but they couldn’t give me what I wanted.

switched over to eurocharged and they seem very eager to jump on the project. I know a couple have used them but I am going to be doing a stage 4 tune. I am really interested in what they will bring my car to be!

You took off the upgraded turbos too? Weren't you using Weistech? I am thinking Renntech if I go ECU but let me know how Euro does.
