Pretty cool first start up after a bunch of mods

This isn't my car I just worked on it. It belongs to E55AMGRocket and will be tearing up MIR on the 18th!

02S430

cool but why is it doing that?

RedBullJnky

holy **** that's bad ***.

GT-ER

If it was a cold start up, timing is retarded to allow for higher exhaust temperatures to ensure quick cat converter light off. This could explain the flames.

It does look bad *** though.

True fire breathing monster!!

theeddie

hows the car idle with open headers? does it drive ok once it hits closed loop?

Gotta love crazy gearhead things like this. Reminds me of an old 5.0 HO motor that I helped my buddy swap into an 87 or 88 thunderbird. Forgot what happened but the car was gonna get junked and we ended up firing it up with no exhaust at all. Open heads! lol Had 8 lil flames shooting out of the side of the motor. Fun times but don't do that to a motor you care about. lol

AMG3.2

damn that looks gnarly!

Black_55AMG

Nice, can't wait to see the end results!

I put long tubes on my 5.0 about 6 years ago. I fired it up just running off of the LT's and it was so damn loud I had to plug my ears. I cannot imagine just how loud that must have been right off of the heads.

Opening that BEAST up I see!!! Lol Looks sick bud Cant wait to see it all done!

It is an internal combustion enine on cold start with open headers. Just thought it was a cool vid that people would enjoy so I posted it up
That is exactly what I said
Yup it was a cold start

It idles... LOUD haha. But other than that it idles fine. This car even has cams in it. We didn't drive it around yet. It is getting full stainless steel exhaust made. You drive around like that and the first cop within a mile radius will pull you over if you don't go deaf before that. It really sounds like a race car when its uncapped
Haha thanks. Must have been really cool to see each individual cylinder fire. This car has headers on it
It looked even better in person
She will run on the 18th
It is not literally right off the heads, hard to see in that vid but it has headers on it thats why the flames come from one spot, the collector.


Yea it's getting full SS tig welded up for it next. My CLK will be going under the knife for minor surgery in less than 10 days hopefully. Still waiting on a sleeved motor before things get crazy though

chawkins2001

That is a bad b###h right there. Flames is unburned fuel.

blackbenzz

Haha it should be. And it looks good under the hood too. And you're right on the flames

V12Godspeed

That's one cool vid. Would love to see that monster on the 18th!!!

e55amgrocket

As long as we get Jerry up for tuning it will be at MIR on the 18th. Just got a few things left to take care of.

emoving

Was that a cut out or just no exhaust?

e55amgrocket

Just straight out of the kleemann headers. I'm going to have a custom stainless steel exhaust made for it this week.

e55amgrocket

It also had straight MS109 in it so that might of helped the flames

lowprofile

Very nice! I have to make it down to watch this and Jody make some passes.
From the sounds of it, this is a "full boogie" setup...can't wait to see what it lays down in the 1/4.

emoving

Damn, should fired mine up the other day when the Kleemanns were put on. They want to do cut outs, would that really add HP?

Craigo

Bam! You dropped yet another gem of an awesome question.

And boy are these cars loud with just headers on...

emoving

I guess I was asking for the price of what they wanted for the cut outs, is the HP gain really worth it and how much do you really gain when they are open.

e55amgrocket

I had 3 inch cut outs on my GTO and lost 14ft/lbs of torque and made 2 hp at 6700rpm. The hp graph was almost identical but the torque was down the whole way. I don't know if it's any different on a SC car.

emoving

That's what I was wondering. This shop said I would get 40hp and I was like, I'm not sure about that.
