SpeeDriven Shop Blog

Hello everyone! I want to introduce myself. A lot of you know me from the forums from my many years on the boards as Aleksandar1099. A few of you know that I have been heavily involved in tuning for the past 4 years, and now part of a great company here at Speedriven! We continue to bring the highest performing parts and kits to Mercedes and now other car lines as well. After many years as an independent ECU tuner I have joined with Speedriven to provide the best service, parts, and tuning available! All of our tunes are written in house using the best and top of the line equipment with years of experience. We are busier than ever with the AMAZING weather Chicago has been having and we have started on some new projects. One of which should be fun for the W211 E55. Can anyone say Whipple kit for under $6,000 Our V12 Biturbo kit is getting close to being released to the market with 850rwhp, and our 1000+rwhp kit is under development!We are also announcing special tuning and package pricing for the early spring we are having


Check out some of the fun projects going on around the shop!




Our 82mm Throttle Body getting built



Couple of cars in for ADV1 Wheels, Speedriven is a Chicago distrubutor of ADV1 wheels




A widebody Sl65 getting ready to go under the knife for BIG hp







A Porsche 996 Turbo came in for a Ski850 911tuning.com package we installed and tested. This bad boy is FAST




Thank you and I look forward to helping the community and making some fast cars!! Please check back in this thread for regular updates for whats going on around the shop and projects getting built!

Great to know, post up in the V12TT boards also.

We (E55 and V12TT) need you guys to come out with some better cooling mods, does SPEEDRIVED have any new plans in the works for this ?

Not to be a hater, but I'll believe it when I see it. With so many cool things going down the drain ( evosport, weistec...) I have a hard time seeing such a thing for our w211's.

For the V12 cars we offer our Intercooler kit which keeps the IATs very low and cool.

The Whipple kit for the 55s will be a much more efficient blower for the 55 than the stock unit and even at the same boost level will produce more power. It will also include a better intercooler as well.

I just think back to the Speedriven twin turbo kit for E55 that vanished so like some others I am very skeptical to any talk. I will also believe it when I see it sorry to say. I guess with some many different companies saying they are going to do this and do that and then months pass then half a year passes and then more time passes and still nothing some may get a little discouraged.

I'll try to answer this 1 as I spoke to Marcin about it, the reason it never came to fruition was NONE of the w211's here ever stepped up & dropped their car off for the TT upgrades simple as that period.. It wasn't a failure on their part whatsoever.

Aleks, haven't met you yet but Marcin and company did a great job on my CL600. I couldn't imagine 850rwhp in my car...it's too scary as-is. Should have the car back from it's winter hiatus in early April (I store it down at my other house in St. Louis) and back to cruising North Side Chicago. I'll have to stop by and see what's up in the near future.

Nice!!!! So 52 mph is the magic speed to still downshift into 2nd??? That thing pulls hard. I may have to do some personal testing of my own to see!
