Well I was driveing home from my girlfriends house and there was a guy riding up my ass so I give it gas and take off. At the next light he pulls up next to me and give me a look my girlfriend says to me, please walk this A$$ so when the light turns green I put it to the floor and take off next thing I know he flies up right past me like I was standing still and I had the car at WOT. As he blew by me I see its a 06 Mercedes Benzs C62 AMG, I later find out its a V6 supercharged. I felt like shit after that so I'm think of ordering the SS interkooler and a 3.25" pulley and see what happens then....

I wouldnt take it quite so hard...any AMG Mercedes has had some serious work done and its most likely a multi-valve engine, which will make it scream on top end...probably sportin a 6speed tranny as well. A Ruf Porsche is a turbo V6 but I wouldnt feel bad about gettin spanked by one of those...In fact I would feel proud that I held my own (even briefly) against one of those Autobahn burners.

Get those 1.9 rockers in and drop to a 3.5 pulley and you'd stand a chance it would really open up your top end .Chico(Pops)

don't waste your time with an SS intercooler. shop around for a used s2 core and you can get one for the same price (or less) than the SS core. with 1.9 rockers and a s2 intercooler... you'd need to switch to the standard pulleys to run a 3.0" cool

I’d say forget it for the following reasons:
1) That guy pays 4x more insurance than you. Given, he can probably afford it.
2) You have a cool girlfriend and he does not.
3) He has some stuff going on in his like where he needs to act like that.


Personally, 3.5 seems too aggressive given your mods + SSIC + rockers. A cam instead of rockers + 3” DP perhaps. I’d just get a 3.8 and enjoy the extra power and reliability. Chico has more experience on this but it still seems too aggressive.

Do you have a link Ray, I can't find a C62. I searched and searched. I want to see this thing.

ah, I didn't know the SS intercooler was the only one that fits. D, you should probably think about ditching your powerlog and 2.5 downpipe soon and getting headers if you want to go much further with your car. With the amount of air you'll be flowing once you get the rockers in, I would think your exhaust setup might be somewhat of a restriction

Yea I thought that to, after going little futher I may put Pacesetters on but I'm not sure. BUt i have to fixmy sig I have a 3" not 2.5 I just dont feel like changing it. I emailed zzp sp see what would need to run ether a 3.8 or 3.6 pulley and I;m waiting for them to get back to me. do you guys have any sugjestions as to pulley size. do you think if i put rockers on i could drop down to a 3.6?

Edit: I asked my girlfriend and she sia dit was the C32 AMG with the V6 Kompressor engine hre is the link for it.

I seen that body style at the track, pops took his daughter down it, ran like 16s, must not been supercharged. But, if I was in your position, I would of expected a W also. They don't look mean, but I guess some of them will blow your doors off.

I think with rockers and a 3" d/p you should be clear to run the 3.6" pulley

Where's your timing now?
If you've got 0*KR, install a smaller pulley. If you've got excessive KR, put the larger pulley back on until you can support the smaller pulley.
MP's are great aren't they?

PS, Let the PCM get aquainted with the new pulley before smashing the throttle.
