Do it off the juice. It would be a shame to see something go wrong with the nitrous on a motor you spent so much time and money on.

all I know is I will see you at Fomoso for the C55 shoot out. And dont think I dont have a bag-o-ticks for ya.

They're going to make my 5.7L scream by allowing the S/C to reach its full potential.

I can't wait to hear it and see the power it puts down. Just hope it all stays together!

I'll prolly do without juice on Aug 7th to see where I stand against the top dog C55 before I even consider challenging Blackbenzz for the AMG V8 NON-Nitrous record.

Sorry Havoc...just noticed I'm hijacking your thread... Your 5.7 will likley take the top spot and stay there for a while unless that 63TT CLK gets unleashed.

Just spoke to Vadim. Friday is still on! Vadim does not want to miss this opportunity to promote his tuning and latest creation. As for car up and running. Missing a gasket that is out of stock at several locations. Part coming in on Monday and car will be started Monday evening. Two dedicated guys working on it (A certified Lambo tech and a certified Mb Tech). It will be close but we will make it.

Respect and appreciate Vadim’s contributions at least as much as the next guy.
Know all too well about having to blow off formerly agreed upon deadlines in my business.

August is upon us. You’re a patient man. Good luck heading to the fore on DragTimes.

Thanks buddy. I prolly won't embark on another journey this long again but there's no turning back once the engine was completely disassembled during the first few days of December.
