Dyno Graph For The C55!!!

Here is the dyno graph for the C55 that was modified by me. This dyno was done at a local shop nearby.

This was with no nitrous.

We installed a CLK 55 engine into an otherwise stock 99 C43. The engine has no bottom end mods, but we breathed on the top end (heads and intake) and had Brandon help with multiple chip tunes. After it was said and done, we had over 445 hp at the wheels!!!!!

Ps....The graph WITH the nitrous is next!

Well, I tried. It will not load@@@SSSIUIUEIP{E)Trghoi

UGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHH.

WE have 431 torque and 445.3 hp at the wheels.

With the nitrous we have 484 torque and 510.8 hp at the wheels.


HMMMMMMM

After seeing this car on Saturday, I advise all Atlantans who *think* they're fast to avoid any white W202 with gold (currently C43) badging.

You and your pride can thank me later.

IT is a supercharged, nitrous fed 55 engine with top end work.

We had the heads and intake ported, worked on the exhaust, installed a boost kit on the supercharger, fabricated a custom front mount Griffin intercooler and more....

I will post pics today.

Benzmac,

Very nice! Which nitrous system did you decide to use and how big of a shot did you end up with on the 55?

We are trying like hell to get all of the pictures downsized and the page built on the site.

We are using a very conservative 75hp shot of nitrous. It is a custom set up using NOS parts.

This car is fassssst.

Nice RWHP numbers. Makes me feel very good about the potential output of my 6.2 liter SCed CLK project. I won't be using nitrous, however, I'm glad to hear that the ECU reprogramming went well.

Well,

Bill is back at the shop and working on the web page with all of the dyno graphs!

I'm sorry to say, but I won't give all of the secrets because it took several hours of R&D to get those numbers.

We will have a full web page with all of the pics and dyno charts though for everyone to look at!

BTW. We should be taking it to the strip really soon.
