Popular Post technics614 Posted October 15, 2011 Popular Post Report Share Posted October 15, 2011 Hello everyone, my name is Jason and I live in Gahanna, Ohio. I am a 35 year old married IT professional who enjoys tinkering with cars and hanging out with people of similar interests. I was introduced to the site by a couple of friends from Columbus who have the same type of car as I, and thought that I would enjoy the site. I currently own a 2006 Mercedes E55 AMG. I bought the car in January of this year and have already installed a 185mm crank pulley, 550cc injectors and looped fuel rail, larger heat exchanger with a new Meziere WP-136 pump, ASP accessory pulleys, custom tune, and Zeitronix ZT2 with Dashdaq for datalogging purposes. Future plans include long tube headers, x-pipe and custom 3" exhaust along with 19" lightweight forged rims for riding around town as well as a 16" drag wheel set up and either DR's or slicks. I hope to become a productive member of the community and can always lend a hand if needed! Thanks for taking the time to read, and I look forward to meeting everyone!

MackDaddy43 Posted October 15, 2011 Report Share Posted October 15, 2011 Numbers? Just curious what you made with the mods. I'm really considering one of these as a potential later in life toy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

technics614 Posted October 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2011 (edited) Numbers? Just curious what you made with the mods. I'm really considering one of these as a potential later in life toy. The last time I had it at National Trails it ran a 12.3/115mph with a 1.9 60ft on street tires. It was about 80-85F ambient and IAT's were around 190F at the line. I know others with similar mods, but have LTH's that are running mid to low 11's. The stock exhaust is killing the top end for sure, and certainly isn't helping EGT's; soon I hope to remedy that issue. I may add a trunk tank reservoir or meth injection to help keep IAT's down. On a mustang dyno it put down 476/540. Thanks for the warm welcome! Edited October 16, 2011 by technics614 Clarity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted October 16, 2011 Report Share Posted October 16, 2011 Saw your car at the Quaker show where that pic was taken. Looks sharp. If those were manual trans, I would own one. I love the way they look and they perform great too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FourString Posted October 16, 2011 Report Share Posted October 16, 2011 Nice to see a modified E55, other than cosmetics. Truth. There is plenty to be unleashed with that platform. Welcome to CR! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AudiOn19s Posted October 17, 2011 Report Share Posted October 17, 2011 Welcome from a fellow E55 owner. I think there's like 4-5 of them floating around here now. Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRed05 Posted October 17, 2011 Report Share Posted October 17, 2011 I think I saw your car at Rude Dog last weekend...unless it was another black e55 with an aftermarket heat exchanger. Definitely made me do a double take. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
