I forgot how awesome our cars downshift since I always drive in M mode.I was doing about 55 mph and 2 cars tried to pass me before a huge 18 wheeler merged infront of us.

I nailed it and the car kicked down to second gear and got to like 120mph before the 18 wheeler even put on his signal.

the 2 cars were left 15cls back in less than 5 seconds

Did I mention how much I love the E55 again

Here is a teaser of my bottom end on 93oct and 178mm pulley

Just do it. Do you have any IAT problems? If you don't just do it and enjoy the car.

skratch77

Did you end up going to a 185 viper?

My temps are okay but i dont drive it hard if its over 85 out anyway.im going to try and run the pump all the time to see if that helps any also.

I would go with a 182mm if i were to do it.that would be the sweet spot vs iats

I'm guessing you fixed the fluid issue?

Also, in that small portion from the dyno you posted, it looks like your car is trying to correct the ignition timing due to knock. Have you checked your timing retard via a scanner?

skratch77

That is from the dyno set to 0 smoothing and my unballanced drag radials.my tune is very safe on the timing,trust me

Do it & join the club

0 is where you should have it to check for knocking...it should be very smooth even in 0. Unbalanced wheels do show this sometimes though so it may be the problem and if you are sure it's safe then +1 for you...that's a lot of torque...lol.

AWOL

how much does your beast weigh?

Its the TQ that does it for these cars. There are some fast cars out there but nothing beats that "pin you to your seat" power!

viper04

yes I did end up going bigger. I did find running the pump all the time help. I think it help me more with the recover after a full out run.

viper04

you are so right. the reason I said to go bigger.

Recovery times are pretty nice with an always on pump. Can't wait to see what a trunk tank does to max temps, first hand.

Saweet.

4460 with me in it and a half tank of gas.

How much more boost will a 185 make over a 178?

My goal is 560whp with stock unmodded tb and 640rwt on pump gas
