Default Re: First night at the track

I was reading that the guy from LET had the most modded amg c class and with nitrous was at about 360whp.. He had ported and polished heads and s/c I believe. Point is I need to find out how much boost is safe for daily driving without fear of snapping a rod or something tragic like that. If it was still obtainable with the motor, but couldn't get enough boost from the s/c, I would tear off the s/c and go twin turbo.

I got pretty lucky at the track. Pretty cool night, I'd say 65F and had about thirty minutes with the hood popped before first run. I am sure that helped with the heatsoak issue. The temp gauge still read in the middle right before the run. I launched in tractional control, foot on brake, held tach at 2500 and released.

Who do I need to talk to that has put this car through hell and back? Curious of all the limitations with motor, s/c, tranny, drive axle..etc.

Thanks for the welcome. You all seem friendly.
