Just out of curiosity how much is that setup through Renntech...20K +? I was looking at that TB and that alone was $4,500.
BTW...great times. Have you thought about adding the speed shift through Renntech? I tried to get it but Renntech will only sell if you have their tune.

I don't think a Quaife would improve your time very much, if at all. Drag radials and/or a high stall torque converter (e.g. https://mbworld.org/forums/w211-amg/...rter-hstc.html) might shave off a bit more.
Blackbenz has the lowest 60' time yet recorded at 1.557 seconds. He used both drag radials and an HSTC.

1.714 is also very good and puts you are right up there with some of the faster launches.

i'm in orlando i run at orlando speed world . i have looked into the cams and feel without a doubt it can run 10's but track keeps telling me i need a cage and no way am i putting a cage in .. so they let me get one good pass then slow me down... but if i spin or feel like it wasn't a good launch i coast down track and not let it get heat soaked

the slr cams don't offer much over oem so the car is no different at idle than a stock e55. i've heard the vrp cams are much more aggressive and do change idle characteristics.

If your lighting up one tire then I would say do the quaife for sure. There's no point in getting more power to the rear if you can't make it stick. If that's not an issue then cams, header/exhaust, or a high stall torque converter may be in your future. My only concern with the converter would be day to day driveability. Ofcouse the other mods would have benefits beyond the initial 60 as well.

E55 AMG Kompressor
I really am finding it hard to under stand How
NXtremeJeep said in his thread he got 122mph with just pulley and tune and vinnyz got 123mph with 82 mm tb , airbox , headers , tune , and pulley , intercooler upgrade.
Whats the deal with that if nxtremejeep can get 122mph with only pulley and tune vinny should be getting way more mph with all them mod's
Whats the deal are they both e55 kompressors we are talking about ?
