just sent my 03 s55 down to chris chapas at c2 design in tampa to get my k2 mods done. ecu,pulley,headers,i/c,lsd, and kleeman lowering mudule. did a baseline run on the dyno and it put out 440hp and 515tq. how does that baseline sound in comparison to other stock amg models

Are these both rear wheel #'s?? the torque seems a little high for a stocker if that's a rwhp # result :nix using an 18% correction ratio would mean you're already puting out 607.70 crank torque?? Do you have some other mods or what? Anyhow good luck w/your results it should be a BEAST afterwards

That are some good numbers...wow I'm kind of scared to get my car dynoed now. Car has been feeling a tad bit slow these days. Alot of the 55 motors have been gettin some really high numbers and I don't want to be the lowest...regardless...hope the best for you buddy!~! post some pics when ya get it back...

Nice Cool dry air this time of year in Fla. You will be pleased with Chris & his Group on any install they perform

chris said those numbers were a little high and that they usually do 430/465. so he didnt know if it was a strong car or a strong dyno, either way i'm sure i'm going to love it when i get it back. i'll post pics as soon as i get it

Chris's repuation is flawless and his work is second only to the masters in Colorado Springs, but I must admit that is the 2nd super high dyno number coming out of his dyno.

Tony also got dyno numbers that were almost a record for stock.

Just interesting.

I saw your BMW w/Lowenhart ld5's very nice did you buy it like that from the dealership or did you customize it yourself?

jenk12m

i bought the bmw like that from a friend, its really nice to drive with the top down when its sunny and 65 degrees

I'd love to see that rwhp dyno? on your 55, the kompressor V8's on average make 400-425 rwhp + 430-440 rwto I find it impossible to think you put down 515 rwto on a STOCK MOTOR. On the rwhp I think it would be more plausible but still quite high compared to anything I've seen posted on these forums

jenk12m

i'd love to see it too, i posted it b/c that was what chris told me and i wanted to see how others stacked up against that.

the extra badges added 40-50 hp












wont beat my vette



MODS THIS IS A JOKE

jenk12m

i'll beat your vette, b/c by the time you find traction i will be at the finish line. bring it on!

Tony007

Very numbers nice!!! Have Chris e-mail you the dyno sheet and post it up.

BTW, how did you drive the car when it was brand new? Did you take it easy or drive it very hard right from the beginning??

Chris Chapas uses Z-Fever in Tampa for their dyno work. They have a newer dynojet model 248 in their shop.

jenk12m

i drove pretty aggressive, it's been to the drag strip a few times and a friend of mine has an m5. so we run hard together a lot. i know its a sedan but i drive it almost like its a 2 door sports car

jenk12m

tony,
i drove it pretty hard from the start, it's been to the drag strip a few times and a buddy of mine has an m5 where we always run hard together

lovem5wantm6

You might not want to post that info jenk in case you want to sell to a forum member down the line. But yeah we hit the strip, prolly a couple times (4,5) a year.

BTW your right about the vette, I'm just now finding out that the transmission and rear end are weak and people switch to autos to keep from breaking them. Grrrrrrr. I dont want an auto!!!!!!! Gotta find a way around it. So for the time being traction is not my friend. Let me know when you get the S back. Now your gonna make me spend more money on the M to keep up.

jenk12m

so what are you going to do about the vette, its not worth having all that hp if its going to break down everytime you try to run it hard. and i dont think i could sell my baby to anyone else, so i dont mind putting that info out there

lovem5wantm6

You WILL want something else eventually. My car wont break down because I refuse to beleive that all these 1000hp vipers and supras with 6 speed are riding but mine wont. I have done some research and found someone to build me a tranny and rear end. They built the tranny and rear end for the vipe guy that runs 7's with 2000hp.

jenk12m

yeah i'm sure one day i will want something else, but for the time being i'm happy with what i got. i knew you could fix that prob. with the traction. how much is it for a new tranny and rear end. who in their right mind would want a car with 2000hp.
