Default Re: NEW: Evosport C32/SLK32/SRT-6 ODPS w/ Dampened Crank Pulley

Thanks for the info. I'm certainly not familiar enough with what the Chrysler demographic has been doing to these cars, but they are essentially an SLK32 setup and we have sold several of our performance kits to SRT6 customers. As you may or may not know, we are a full Mercedes-Benz high perf. tuner (not a bolt-on shop), with dedicated engineers who come out of Formula Atlantic, as an example. I don't post here often and I certainly don't mean to step on anyone's toes or come across interrogative or arrogant by any means. I'm just providing information and more curious as to what people have been or thinking about doing on the Chrysler front.

Here you go...this is a dyno of a Mercedes-Benz C32 with our ODPS kit:



As for spending $1,500 - $2,000 I would put that money towards a stand alone ECU system which is fully adjustable by laptop.
The SRT6 uses the same Bosch ME 2.8.1 motronics as the Benz-variant. As far as I'm aware, nobody makes a plug 'n play stand-alone for the car. And you certainly won't spend under $2k if you went with a Motec setup (again, not plug 'n play). We're building a 6.2L CLK right now using a modified AEM system but again costs are much higher than $2k. Besides, even if there was a stand-alone, I doubt the gains on a stock car would see 40 RWHP, not to mention a stand-alone would no longer make the car OBD2 compliant nor allow you to be able to smog it.

if I wasn't gonna do the ECU thing I would opt. for the bigger SRT6 brakes or go Brembo.
What size brakes is stock on the SRT6? Is the spindle/hub assembly a transplant as well?

I like NOS but for seriously underpowered cheap cars, too risky for higher end cars.
I'm not a big fan either, but you'd be surprised when done correctly what can be done. We've built 700 hp+ E55's and we've added NOS on top of that per the customer request. Using NOS is not a function of whether it's a cheap car or not. It has more to do with how well you can configure and setup the system/delivery. How you trigger the juice...manual or via throttle position, etc. Anything is risky when not done correctly.
