14 E63 S 1/4 Mile time with UDP Cold Air Boost Kit

First I would like to say thank you to Shardul for sending me this Kit so quick. Thank you
And the second thank you goes to all the ppl on here that posted about the UDP Cold Air Kit and let me tell you it really works.


My previous best time at the same track (Firebirdraceway in Idaho) was 11.78 using race start and 93 octane. the weather was a little better that night around 63*


Last night I run 11.64 everything was the same except the UDP KIT and the weather was 74* so even with warmer weather I managed to get a better time do to the UDP KIT
I know most ppl are running faster times in their E63 S AMG's but this track is at 2650+ feet altitude...
Any tips on how to get my 60ft down ?
I tried brakeboosting and RS and RS seams to work best for me...any advice is appreciated


Thank you

best way to get better 60' is buy a different car.

Very, very good ET and trap for an almost stock ride. Nice to see the mod giving you a boost as well.

If the car is new to you, keep practicing. You can improve your 60 a small amount on the stock tune by learning at which rpm to brake boost to, and then when to release the break. It's not easy on this car, as the ECU freaks out if the throttle request is too high, while the car is not moving (brake engaged).

My experience is this....To see a major improvement in 60', you'll need an ECU config that allows more torque to be deployed in gears 1 and 2. Only then will you see consistent 1.6x-1.7x 60s.

Thx for the tip will play around with it to figure out the best rpm level for breakboosting.

I attached the time slips for 3 of the runs
The fastest run was done using race start...the 11.79 was breakboosting and the 11.99 was a mess up on my end..tried race start..but got too excited and instead of confirming with paddle up to start the race start..I hit the gas paddle so it took of slow..

Can tranny take that much torque in the gear 1 and 2 ?

I'm not qualified to answer this question in any meaningful manner, to be honest. I will say that after 20 days, transmission still works just fine, no slipping ,etc. Folks who've been running strong configs for a while would have to chime in. Surely the condition of the hardware will degrade more quickly, but how much so, no idea.

the question is for how long can the mct take that torque increase before it fails

Are you saying theres now a way to decrease the torque limits in the lower gears?

Well, I'm not a tuner, so exactly what's done, I don't claim to know. I've bought lots of ecu tunes and run many more on the Dyno, but that's my only 'qualification'. I can say this...ecu tunes can be vastly different from one another, especially around low gear torque deployment. Is it working around torque limits, removing torque limits, decreasing torque limits? I don't know to be honest.

It has not from what I can tell. I did run a 123mph first time I went to the track running 11.82...speed stayed in the 121-122.5 range

sounds like it lowered your trap speed?

Not enough data to make a good conclusion on how the filters affected his trap; likely didn't do anything to it
