Close but I didn't push it that far. I have 3 settings.

1. Boost controller off 5.5psi 380whp
2. Low boost 8psi 480whp
3. High boost 10psi 519whp.

I didn't want to push it anymore using the EU. I will probably upgrade to a full standalone or UTEC in the future.

Rides will be available.

I just had my first real kill on the way to work on the Turnpike North......2006 SLK55 AMG.

MSRP $62,275* EngineAMG-built 5.5L SOHC 24-valve V-8 engineNet Power355 hp @ 5,750 rpmNet Torque376 lb-ft @ 4,000 rpm

I new I would win, but I did it for fun. I ripped him a new arsehole with boost controller off. He was with his girl and I guess was shocked that I pulled on him. Maybe he thought I got the jump on him so he tried me a second time. He gunned it and I let him pass as I turned on my boost controller on high.......needless to say I pulled like 15 cars on him. At that point I left off and slowed back down to the speed limit.

You know.....there is never a single person that tries racing me on the Turnpike on my daily shlep from Homestead. Should I advertise?

I don't know if you have an aftermarket front bumper but when people see the frontmount, it usually spurs on a testosterone spike on their part, lol.

Haha... That makes the whole ordeal worthwhile!

Dialing in an additional 140rwhp at a moments notice: Priceless...

Wouldn't you like to have been a little mouse in his car to hear what he was saying...
