The sound of the 55`s is better than the new 63`s I think.

Depends on budget. Do one first and see how you like it. If it works for him he can look into doing the second one. Don't want to dive into stuff like that.

I say go ***** to the wall Scott, get some K16's and pull out the junk ones you have their now. Might be some turbo lag up until 2850RPM's but then hold on to the herpes.
I think Jox has a connection over there wherever he is for a secret ECU program for the TT E55's. Shoot him an PM.

12 cylinders don't have much lag. You'd be amazed. A friend of mine is running one of those V12 E55's and he did a turbo kit on it and he is running 8 second 1/4's at over 240 mph.

8 seconds is commendable but not something unheard of in the MBZ world, a buddy of mine is running low 7's with a trap of just a **** hairs over 244mph.
But he uses nitroglycerin spray to cool his intercoolers. But his car is a SLK chassis so he doesnt have that much weight as a E class chassis.
Its nuts what these guys do with their cars, I feel that Scott after his mods will put all these guys to shame.


P/S and O/T, Thomas you done with the mods on your CLS63 yet, I know you have been keeping quiet about it.

I am installing a trailer hitch to haul this nitrous tank around behind it right now. I figure on running a 1500 shot directly to each cylinder and seeing how high I can boost the HP. The biggest problem I'm running into now is finding trailer tires rated to 200+mph.
