SL55 update..dropped off at eurocharged..Baseline 445

baseline dyno came back at 445hp.
Sent it to Eurocharged over the holidays, anticipating it will be all done next week.

Should come back in the 550 range, or 520-550 apparently. Crossing fingers for the tail end of that range.

Received the graphite CV3 vossens, just waiting to get car back to put them on.

445hp at the wheels is pretty strong for a stock 55k.

I'm sure you will be happy with the euro-charged package. Can't wait to see the results.

Today was judgement day, the anticipation was killing me. I am sure Jerry is calling me a "ball breaker" (sorry .

With a 93 octane tune, the car is at 551rwhp and 635 lb of torque. Apparently couple of more dyno pulls tomorrow but thats where we are at. Cant wait to get it home.

Wow, those are some jaw dropping dyno numbers. Hows it feel having another 100+ HP and torque pushing you around? Any plans on running the 1/4 mile?

With those kinds of numbers, drag radials are a must.

The mod list is basically what EC listed in the blog above.
Included some porting of the runners and supercharge intake. The car had a kleeman crank pulley going in and kleeman shorty headers. Car also has kleeman dif

Great numbers, i'm assuming with a nice drag set up you will run very low 11's? Maybe even high 10s.

Those numbers are amazing. I wish there was someone in Southern NJ that can handle this type of project. This is where I want my 07 55 to be....
