yes.. no problem.

Make sure you have a good dealer that will work with you.

If not, only a pulley that looks like stock (ASP) and tune and replace the IC pump.

Do a comp test and she will tell you how awesome it will perform modded. Mine avrgs around 130ish and is a dud in the 1/4 while ole alans runs near 150s straight across the boards with his 10sec machine. I can't wait to start looking for 55s when they are low teens and whip out the leakdown test on um. Good times!!
Good idea! I will try to do a compression test before purchase.

This car has no warranty though and already heavily modded. It pays to know master techs and also do wrenching yourself


Already started buying more mods guys!!!

LOL For now it will be 3 benzes with 2 of them in the 10s. Come spring I will probably sell the daily and make the E55 the daily. I've bought so many mods for it already, need to stop but still want more!
