Only if you're trapping faster than 125 mph.
Hold the gear (no shift) and you will see a gain.
If you are only after a couple of tenths, I bet the tranny upgrade can net you that easily. You can measure the shifts with a sundial.

What do you mean HOLD a gear if it needs to shift to go further
I want to trap faster then 125 and Jakpro who has 2.82 gear said it shift jsut before 1/4 finish...

I think Quaife can actually install them for you as well. They sell the product and they also have a couple of techs to install if they are not too far from where you guys live.........

It means don't let it shift. Your car won't stop, trust me. 
You probably won't be trapping higher than 125 without nitrous anyway. I don't see the problem.
You also do highway runs where the gearing would help you, IMO.
If you are only concerned with 1/4 mile, save your cash and increase traction. Better tires, a diff, a looser torque converter and a trans that doesn't shift in dog years would be a good start.

Quaife tech data
I'm very excited because today, while I was at Merc Service for installing my new alcantara F1 wheel I met there a common friend and had the opportunity to convince Merc Service to support me installing (almost) all mods I want.
It' s a long time I would have liked Quaife diff as a first substantial mod.
Point is that Quaife Europe do not officially produce the diff for our 211-219 series ... it seems that the diff that is usually fitted also in US was originally conceived for a truck 215 series.
I attach data sheet for this diff "9V". could anybody check if it is the same we are talking about?
I found an year old long debate in this forum about pros of this diff (I can find links if somebody is interested)
but unfortunately I couldn't find a clear conclusion about best option for FINAL DRIVE: we have 2,65 ratio and could change for shorter 2,82 (used by tuner MKB; in former AMGs, in current SL and in the new 63) or even 3,07 used in CLK DTM.

CLS 55
quaife LSD group buy would be great.
Jangy,
I also would be interested in this for my CLS55.
I would need a highly recommended installer in the greater NY metro/ tristate vicinity with a reasonable installation cost.
does any one know what such an install does in terms of voiding the factory warranty?
can M-B say the whole powertrain coverage is voided because we put in a non M-B LSD??
thanks for your organizing efforts!

I think with over 700 HP its possible to trap 125 without NOS...
I am not only concerned with 1/4 mile, but most of the races happand on the streets....
I got MT DR for 1/4 runs...
Where can I get looser torgue coverter ...for trans to shift faster I need to get TCU...

From this thread C43's had 3.07 final ratio:

There is some speculation in this thread that 300E's had it too, with 4-speed:
