yes many times ...

Last one was 410hp at the wheels. None of my graphs ever looked like that. From the first dyno to the last.

Who's car is that? that looks HORRIBLE.

Correct. There is a "bump" on the pass side floor on 4matic cars

Hang in there Jody... Dynos will be coming soon.. Vadim has been a little busy since we're developing the 55, 63, and 65 all at the same time. He is rotating between all the cars right now.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Here are the latest pictures.

I was going to call this upgarde - "Scorpion"




Heat shields for air filters are next, than tuning and dyno.

Big turbos are second stage.

I will give you a hint - Q U A D

This SL65 will set the new bar for performance on the MB V12TT platform.

Hmmm.. Maybe we should take it to Nardo and see if we can shatter the Brabus Rocket land speed record???

Once the guys from Powerchip are back from vacation the fun part begins...

Man o man, I want that SL65. The work looks MINT and the fit is pretty nice. That is one sweet car. It would be the only car I would consider over a 997TT (hint).

I didn't even recognize the 63 with AMG rims on it. But, since I saw that George under the hood I am sure there are some 63 goodies coming out. Kinda makes me wish i had one .

The 55 tuning is friggin CRAZY!!!! Once it is done, we will HAVE to do some side by side runs with comparable tuning. Any '06 built in '06 or previous model that has had the dreaded flash (or a more recent flash) should pay close attention. The '06 in '06s are the most affected, but the older models also become boost haters.

I know, you guys are scaring me with all the toys over there. Yeah, I figured i'd grab it for some withdrawal relief while Jeremy rests. It has gone from beast to monster. Reminds me of my 55K virgin days. The top end is back! Just a few little tweaks and I'm ready to move on!!

I want 100 extra HP ASAP!!

Jangy.. There is an SL55 arriving on Jan. 25th (I believe that is the date)...

He is doing:

- VRP Pulley & ECU
- VRP Long tube headers + midsection + Active Exhaust (electronically controlled dump valves), no CATS
- Beltwrap kit
- CF Airbox
- VRP 80mm TB kit + phenolic spacers
- VRP cooling upgrade
- Quaiffe LSD
- VRP Stage 3 Heads w/VRP cams (ported + bigger Ferrea valves)

This will be the VR700 kit (or maybe VR750 kit.. we'll see.. )

You can run by and check out the progress as it goes through its transformation.

The build should take 3 - 4 weeks from start to finish.

Sweet!! I will be camped out, as usual!!

I still want TB and headers. Vadim installed the Air Box. Would that make me the VR600? I was also assuming some slight exhaust work, but basically no head work (till I kill it).

Then, it is all suspension. By the way, Len has been ready to go, but I flaked. I'll get her done asap!

Now you know why I was asking all the questions when I saw you for lunch.

Shoot me an email and let me know what's up.

Well Victor, looks like you finally fufilled the quest in your sig

These projects are down-right amazing. When I saw the word "quad" I nearly fell off my chair. I can't wait for the final results and for the word on pricing and such. You guys are wayyyy ahead of the game. This will be a new era for MB horsepower junkies.

Hey Keith!!

You know.. I was thinking .. you should at least buy some aftermarket filters or something for your car just so people don't call you STOCK.. Don't you hate that?
