I'm running a bone-stock coolant/intercooler setup. The 1/8th mile time was 7.90 @ 88.4mph... I also had over half a tank of gas (extra weight).
Recently I reinstalled the OEM airboxes and even went a step further by opening up the Y-pipe with a home made code-3 intake. I did this purely for aesthetics, as I wanted to run the 32-AMG front engine cover for the car show season. No other change was made to the engine. Tires, wheels, all unchanged.
Fast-forward to last week:
On a historically faster track, with better prep, 1,900' D-A, a cool engine, ~3 gallons of gas in the tank, and 73° ambient temp -- the BEST I could muster was a 12.604 @ 110mph... 1/8th mile time was 8.134 at 87.12mph
So, it's safe to say the Needswings clearly flows much better than the OEM setup.
John... how did you get sucked into one of Arado's posts again. You know as well as I do that he never contributes anything but, "I bout an SRT and 4 crossfires for less than what you pay for a Real AMG and there fast enough for me stock blah blah blah."
Now I'm going to make another Jungle Juice and maybe pass out. After all last week was **** and this week has to be better
