Hey Saam just my .02 but if were you I would go with the race heads vs cams. I think that there is more useable power at about the same price as cams. Send Shardul a pm and talk to him about the heads.

HOLY ****!!!!!!!!! that was one of the those "defining" moments in life- after a beat down like that, he either curled up in the corner in the fetal position or he went out and immediately bought a new car....

Nice work. Tires mean everything especially from a first gear roll and even second gear in these stage 3s.

I like this video of yours better. I have a R8 V10 up there that I played with a month or so back, I had him by over a car in the short run we had.

Not all GTOs are built the same.

That GTO got some serious work done to its engine which is "408 strocker kit”. That E55 is still a beast, keeping up with a strocker car. However, with simple bolt on such as “EC stage 3" The E55 would definitely smoke any 408 car.

Only thing I'm missing is an 82mm which is sitting in the garage.

A cheap 408ci stroker with ported LS6 heads would only cost 5K, add about $1500 for the nessesary bolt ons and $1500 if you have it installed. There are alot more 408ci GTO's in the 10's then there are E55 AMG's.

I didn't see a V8 Kompressor badge on that Mercedes. Could have been a E550 with the AMG kit. Kids say stupid stuff on their videos. If they beat a E class it's always listed as a Stage 6 Renntech E55.

I wonder how many folks would spend more to mod the car than what they paid for it?
BFD, I have yet to run into one of these GTOs and instead have ***** slapped every single kocky little punk in a GTO I have come across. Only one was a cool person where we had a discussion afterwards, the rest were worse than CIvic racers. Bottom line: There are a LOT more 11-12 second E55s out there as that is what they do STOCK! Most GTO owners add exhaust and filter and pretend it can pull 9s.

Regardless, great kill!
I think a $1000 for a (FTP RAIL,INJECTORS,LOOP,PIGTAILS) is worth the price to safeguard a $18,000 engine reguardless of the extra power it might make.
