VIDEO: 1/2 Mile Race Airstrip Attack in my SL63

I did a slow rolling start and came from behind to beat a highly modded Hellcat I was at 148.76 at the finish line. My car as an ECU Tune, Catless Downpipes, Cold Plugs and Cold Uptake Airfilter. 806 ft/lb at the wheel last dyno.

Looks like too much fun!!! I'm thinking the Hellcat didn't think you could take him.

What supplier are you using for the Mods? (ECU)

exhilarating.

A local tuner named Matt Bekam in Los Angeles worked magic with my ECU.

Nice, are there sound differences with the cold uptake air filter? Could you please provide the supplier? Thx!

I got lucky because a friend with an e63 loaned me his at dyno day so I could get real before/after hp/torque results. It added over 40HP so naturally I bought it! I cannot hear the difference because I put the catless downpipes on at the same time and obviously they make a lot of noise on throttle. Here is the link to the provider:http://ultimatepd.com/2011-2015-merc...boost-kit.html

Do you know whether this would impact my warranty? Thx
