2001: Supercharged E55 AMG
Car is out!
The E55 is out and running with the new tranny upgrade and all i have to say is that it's a torque beast!! Now when it's fixed i can really feel how bad the tranny was before with all the slipping. I'll try to do a video and post it later.
In 2 weeks i'm going to dyno the car to see how much power it makes on this boost setup (0.5 bar or 7.25 Psi). And maybe go for more boost as planned next year.
Also have a few picc with the new clear glass projectors, hopw you like them. (i know, have to get white turning signal lamps)

Thanks! 
Yes, hopefully it will make a bit over 400 Whp on this boost. I'm going to run 1/4 mile 4th August, but it will be on my 19" wheels so the time won't be that good, just fun to try.

Thanks!
The headlight are the normal clear glass projectors you can buy, not DEPO but another brand. I think DEPO is a better choice.
The 1/4 will be on my 19" DPE rims, so i'm glad if i get under 13 secs,hehe. The track is very slippery with 19" wheels if you don't use drag radials.
But i'll post a video of it anyway.
