It is a Mercedes. It is not supposed to be cheap and easy. But it is a good upgrade. I have a few customers using the BMW differentials in the w123 chassis. You should do what I am doing and...

Honestly the curve on the new turbo does not look bad. You are down on power in the lower rpm range but if you do not short shift it you should be doing ok unless the turbo just stalls and there is...

You can absolutely shift the 722.6 manually. I use the cruise control stalk in my old wagon. You can use pretty much any input that is digital to shift. For drag racing you want to use the wot...

That is a pretty solid power curve. Like yzn said maybe recalibrate the sensor and also adjusting the voltage scale.

That is really solid data. I do know that tuning through the switch point of turning the cams off is hard to do. The dip is normal but can be minimalized. I think that you should try with the intake...

It should allow you to run more boost without detonation. The advance promotes cylinder filling. Since you are looking for more top end then more boost and no advance should work for you. It might...

You must be hitting a flow issue. Either intake, exhaust or turbo. My earlier dyno runs with mostly stock exhaust would drop like that at around 5,000 rpm. I think I mentioned earlier that the Audi I...

The best way to do it is do a pull with it on and a pull with it off and lay the graphs over each other. They should cross at one point. This is where the cams should turn off. You are going to have...

Yours is a bit more extreme than mine but I have found that turning off the cam earlier helps with this. I now turn mine off at 4800 rpm. It makes sense to turn it off at peak torque. I think the...

The when your 60' is that bad it effects your trap speed. The back half gain will tell you more. 82.6mph to 104 mph. That is a 22mph gain. I see a 26mph gain on the back half. The cadillac cts-v that...

Are you spinning the tires? That 60' is horrible. You should be around 13.2 or so with a decent 60. Looks like it is pulling ok though. Have you tried more boost yet? I know that that motor starts to...

Couple things. The m104 manifolds do not flip because of the bolt pattern. I looked at this a while back. Also my compression is 9.2:1 and the .980 motor is 10:1. I had the .980 motor originally of...

I can not believe you are running that much timing under boost. What fuel do you use. One pump gas, I run around 5-10 degrees less than this to keep knock out. I can run about 18 degrees or a little...
