Since when does a flashed CL600 runs 10? last I check that car is in the 4400lbs and 500hp. Just a guess but you'll probably need 700-800whp+ to run 10'sQuote:

300 dollar "Chinese" turbo is now supporting 1000whp+ so I think I will be fine.
Pretty common now in the LS1tech, you might want to get out of that bubble.
:) Are you in California? because these "we can run" comments are so amusing. I mean sure ill run you after you come to Cali.
All in good fun dude. I'm an old drag racer and don't knock you for any of your goals. More the power to you.
I was running low 11s on my street car 35 years ago. Long before stand alone tuning and fuel injection became the norm. All Motor for me without nos. so I have been there and done that. I don't really care to rip into my platforms just to cobble them up and proclaim this Dyno number or 1/4 mile time. Will I track my cars a couple times? Yep and they all run well without beating on them too hard.
One of my fixer upper RS6s ran 12.50s and I was happy with it. My daily E63 put down a 12 flat @ 120 on my first pass bone stock and I was happy with it. Let's see what I get from my CL.....I have a way of getting all I can get from a car.
As I have said my cars have a clear build plan and then done. If I like them then I keep them.

To each their own, Ive never had a lift so I work with what I have. All I see is my end goal so I find ways to get it done.Quote:

How old are you guys? You make it sound like you guys are so old.
I'm the complete opposite. I have ZERO issues consuming the platform and doing whatever I feel I want to do to it(I dont care for 1/4, but I do care for HP to a point that I'm satisfied when I drive it-and this just seems to keep climbing). If it doesn't perform to my expectation I just toss it up for an experience.Quote:

Fast home brew project cars. I have no problem with them. That was me 40yrs ago
I get far too busy making money in my old age to mess around with such projects. But good luck. My RS6s are done to my liking and all I do is enjoy them and maintain them at this point.
Working on importing a B5 RS4 and RS6 Avant right now. You see, things that actually make me money.

But hey whatever floats your boat as long as your enjoying what your doing then good for you.
Ill stick to my career income and keep things separated.
Yep, for some reason, my whole attitude changed when I hit 50...You suddenly have an epiphany, and sit down and see where you are financially...with "retirement" "right around the corner", you start spending less "foolishly" (for lack of a better term), and start thinking about how you can enjoy life and not spend all your money, because whatever you have, needs to last another 10, 15, 20 years? That is when you want your money to make you money...Quote:

AND, being the internet, you don't know who is who, and you feel compelled to share your experiences, just in case that "someone" is just like you...AGAIN, I had the same vision as you, and when I moved forward with my manual swap, and had the engine out for the 3rd time or so, I started looking at what it would take to get to my goal (same as yours), I said screw it, I thought it would be too much work and time, and I found a different "project". I truly wish you good luck, as clearly it CAN be done. I don't have the patience anymore...
4 years????????Quote:

Time and money seems to be the main issues for us all.For me as long as it doesn't constrict my life I'm ok with it. I mean it may seem like I spend a lot of money and time but last year we went 6+ trips, 1 of which is across the world(Norway), Pretty sure were in the 15+ trips in the past 3 years :jlol:.
