just got a cls55 amg remapped and smaller pulleys on the supercharger, giving 600bhp- goes like a rocket.

Hello and welcome, nice to meet you and great to have you along.

Your car sounds amazing, with that much power I bet you'd be pushing fairly low quarter mile times.

Did these mods make much difference to MPG?

 

[peter1951]

not really around 20mpg unless you push, then about 14mpg

Nice! Best of both worlds then. Do you have a favourite set of tyres yet for it?

With that amount of torque on tap and a bit steely determination behind the wheel you could evaluate several different tyres in the space of a couple of months.

Should I be reading what you didnt actually say HD1???
Do you mean that with all that availability of speed and recipracal hard braking that it would need a few worn out tyres to be changed??
I once had a boss who had a sporty Jag (forgot which model) and he went through 2 tyres to the wire in a few weeks:blink1:
