SUPERCHARGED 63
nice.
out of curiousity though .. isn't adding TT to a large capacity engine more rewarding and easier done than fitting a S/C ? I'm not sure about this one here, but I guess cheaper as well ?
One more thing, drag racing only requires about 10% (if that) of the skill road racing does. Take that from a guy that does both and does both well on a regular basis. Drag racing an AMG is probably the easiest vehicle in the world to drag race. Any moron with one hand, two feet and an eye can lay down consistant quick times in an AMG.

Put on a set of 20" wheels with low pro's on, turn of ESP and get a good time on the 1/4.. Some would say it's not as easy as it sounds 
What about R/T's has nothing to do with HP, A 1000hp AMG can lose to a
123hp YUGO, in as far as R/T goes, the guy with the better skills will always get better R/T's. Oh, and by the way one foot is all you need

BTW, if you are not using both feet you are not doing it the right way
I guess my modded engine has the same CR as an E55K. I was hoping that mine was lower than an E55K so I can add even more boost.
I agree that a thicker head gasket is a very bad idea according to the experts I consulted with.
