I can't wait to get my car back this weekend! It's been away for far too long but all the while in some of the best hands. The Eurocharged team is amazing! From John turning the wrench and pouring his efforts and soul into the build to Jerry taking John's build and tuning it to become all it can be!
Their knowledge of this platform is truly amazing.
I will post full details later but basically they rebuilt the full internals on a low mileage motor from the block up... Car had some issues with leak by caused by what John thought was dust or a foreign substance. This scared the pistons, rings and walls---So a new lower and full internals first and then she was up-fitted with all the performance goodies and the result......drum roll please![Roll Eyes (Sarcastic)](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/rolleyes.gif)
564hp / 650tq![thumbs](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif)
Needless to say the drive home from Houston to KC should produce many smiles this holiday weekend.![drive](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/driving.gif)
I will report back when I get it home. If you are looking or have been on the fence about doing performance upgrades, visit or call one of the great Eurocharged locations. You will not be disappointed. I know I'm not!
Thanks Jerry and John! Cant wait

KC!?! Where in KC? Do you ever hit the Fast Fridays at KC Trends in O.P.? Lots of nice cars show up there. Every other Friday from March thru October. We need a few more scary fast AMGs!

Yeah...Western Shawnee area. KC Trends is actually one of my very good customers. I've known Chad since the mid 90's. If you follow him or his company FB page you may have seen a photo shoot we did with is white F250 and my black F350 with the XD Rockstar II wheels on them. They were the first two sets of the new Rockstars in the US. Kinda helps I work for the wheel manufacturer and he's such a great customer..... Haha
I'll try to make it out to an event soon.

Small World!
What a small world! We live in the same neighborhood with Don and Rosie Dearmore and find ourselves at FF pretty frequently. I usually bring one of my1973 Trans Ams, just cause I know I don't have the hardware to park alongside the Ferraris and Vipers, and you just don't see too many '73 TAs on the road anymore.

I can't wait for all the details Jack... I guess I am going to have to turn the torque back up on my beast to match your rwtq values now. I hope you enjoy your new ride and that should be a very fun drive home!

Picked her up today....105-109 in Texas and on the drive back....car has been strong all day even with the extreme heat. Not a single issue. This thing is kick "you in the **** strong!"![EEK!](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/eek.gif)
I'll jump on another time later this weekend when i get home with full details and my printouts for the build. For now all I can say is WOW! The power and the sound of the custom exhaust is intoxicating! The first 500 miles home have been the best 500 since I've owned the car! Filling up right now and getting back on the road. Still have a couple hundred more to go before I'm home.
