Default Re: newest engine mod!!

Steve DID break the 11-second barrier. 11.93 @ 115 was his best run.

2003 Mercedes-Benz SLK32 AMG 1/4 mile trap speeds 0-60 - DragTimes.com

Hopefully Steve will chime in here, but in the end his recommendation to me was go with a single pulley, crank or supercharger, because of the excessive IAT heat from stacked pulleys, and the need to upgrade most or all of the fuel system.

I won't post the specifics and steal his thunder, but Steve was 1/2 mile racing the spoolbus yesterday and laid down some scary trap speeds.

Did Stve break the 400 barrier....?
Will he do sub 12 in his SLK32?....

Stay tuned I guess....
Any other links to the final result before he sold this baby?

I wanna know how he coped with the added 15kW of heat from the 22+ psi....
I know he tried the KC...nothing on that...
Supercooler?...
Did it really turn into a Lysholm issue and drop off in eff. and hence all pain - no gain?....
I'd like to say stay tuned....but....now he's Porsching....
Hope he pays us a visit sometime.
...like sands through our hour glass.....
