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.

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
