Hey Adam... Just remember... Rocket's car might be Evotech, but it has some VRP blood pumping in it's veins now.. LOL..

Let me know how you like those cams!!

Andy0331

Damn, the first part of the video sounds like the damn Mercury Racing 500efi's (502 BBC)in my Cig. Not what I'd want in a daily driver.

dyno

now is much more clear.
.. can't imagine how long is exhaust duration now

but.. did you cope somehow with EGR management system?
I mean that hole in the exhaust valve guide area .. that I suppose, goes to those damned dump valve/ EGR valves ?

AdamG@NorCal

My good friend Jim has Evotech blood too...don't ya forget that..

Anyways, i will let you know how the car runs. She should be good.

ROCKETW19

dont forget the VRP air box. looks like my car will be faster then jackpros for another week.lol

Adam you gonna dyno first then seperate the cooling lines? or just do it all at one time?

AdamG@NorCal

Do it all at one time

The vRP airbox will be last...we are still performing surgery on your car as we speak..another late nighter for the Big Rocket

E55 RUSS

I am going to cry......Should I start disasemble my engine yet


WE are going to do all VRP 08 G55 soon here...It should have around 750 HP when it done...this will be a real Rocket off the line...many street racers will get shocked next spring...

VRP Stage 2 Cams and Heads

That excitement in your voice is priceless...

MafiosoCLS55

WOW! Sounds amazing! Congrats..... Lets see some flyby and in car videos now!!

Roseylv

Wow,
In a blind engine hearing test, i would NEVER guess that would be an E55 or any Mercedes. Hats off to you

E55 RUSS

I cant wait for those Cams...Are you guys serious about FLAMES with Cams ???...My car dont have any CATS...You think its possible...When I had my M5 without cats I used have little flames once I change gears at high RPMS...

The new M5 without CATS...with SS exhausts have little flames at high RPMS...it look cool once you part and start to WOT...

V12Godspeed

Holy Crap...Did you hear that sound

JamE55

Jim,

Congrats! Do a video where you car is blasting off from a standstill! And maybe a inside the car vid as well. Can't wait to see how this turns out. Also any dyno numbers?

ROCKETW19

WOW, is that all cam? or will heads make some noise also?

AdamG@NorCal

You should hear yours. I am going to have the idle raise to 150 rpm.

AdamG@NorCal

Jim niceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee......

Jakpro1

Finally got a sec to post.

Man, really lovin the cams and heads!!! I told Victor that same thing last night. THIS mod was the most dramatic mod since I went from stock to K2. All the rest were like, "Wow, feels a littttle betterrrr".

This one was like, "Holy S*^t"

Been a friggin blast. I think the best news of all is I can finally do at 4300ft what most of you modded guys at lower elevations do all the time.

Example breaking the tires loose from a roll. Before, just wasn't able to do it.

Watch how the car surprises me



Sorry I did not dyno cams separately. V gave me his blessing to install both in one shot. We DEFINITELY will see an increase but how much I am just not sure. Car does lope quite a bit on idle and RFLOW is 100% correct as usual. You gotta increase the idle or she will feel like a WILD WOMAN at redlights. I swear to you guys. Car is at a redlight, it's rockin slightly, loping and just sounding evil and I look over at this young guy that is like .

Man it was so great to have the butt dyno working again. I laugh because in one my earlier posts I lamented that the butt dyno stopped working long ago.

Last thing. I really do hate flyby vids as I feel they all kinda look the same. I honestly can't tell the difference between a stock flyby and this one below, but will post anyway.

Only one you can tell on is the burnout.

Here is fellow AMG brotha stock burnout

Here's mine with NO brake start, notice she is still wiggling at the end (just had roasted the Toyos for fun before too so they were hot and sticky)

On the flyby, I started much less than a 1/4 mile away and by the time I got by Ken, was at about 100-110mph. Should trap well if conditions are good.

Flyby Vid

Overall, I would give heads and cams from VRP a 10 outta 10, and that's not just cause I love that big Canadian lug.

Won't be able to make the trek to Sacto for awhile with Holidays coming up etc, but CAN'T FRIGGIN WAIT TO SEE YOU GUYS AND LET HER RIP!!

Jim

ps....gotta run out with the wife this pm for a doctor consult with the wife on....ummm wellll, uhhh, let's just say this was my Christmas present, her's will be a slightly different mod.

waxking1

Nice videos and great sound. I would love to see what your car would do at one of the faster tracks in cool weather. Congratulations on everything working well together.

Awesome, Jim!
