Fortunately we are in CT.........NA cars simply love the air at the coast . The 156 can only run on 102 racing fuel or AFGAS. We run on AFGAS only.
It's a tall order taking on a stock CLK63, let alone a modified one.
Figures for a stock CLK63 is 354KW and 630NM. The one we're taking on does quite a bit more. The one thing that concerns me is that the car cuts out at 8000rpm in 6th gear with 17" wheels. We asked the guys that did the mapping to push the limiter up by another 500rpm.
They had a chat to Gotech about this. For some odd reason when you set it on the computer, it won't increase on the ECU. We need to find a solution to this.
