Here is a video we took of the S55 on Friday the 7th, 2010.

It ran 12.06 @117.46 the first run and 12.01@117.48 the second time.

Speed Syndicate S55 AMG

We recently upgraded one of our customer’s brakes for his 350Z. 

From this.

To this.

And yes we told him that he needed to wash his car.

 Here is some general info regarding big brake kits taken from the StopTech website.

General Benefits of Big Brake Kits

Big Brake Kits give your vehicle that Supercar look and feel, and exceed stock performance in two areas. First, larger rotors increase heat capacity. Second, stiffer calipers and stainless steel lines reduce system compliance.

The key, however, is to increase heat capacity and reduce compliance without upsetting the stock front to rear brake torque ratio. If the brake upgrade you select adds too much front torque (as many do), you reduce your car’s ability to utilize the tractive capacity of all of the tires to the maximum practical extent (even on ABS equipped cars) and you therefore create performance sacrifices. In addition, too many pistons or pistons that are too large will make the brake pedal much more difficult to modulate, which limits a driver’s control of brake input on the race track.

Advantages of StopTech over other brake upgrades:

• Shorter Stopping Distances
• Better Brake Modulation
• Firmer Brake Pedal
• Less Brake Fade

Feature Benefit Summary:

• Balanced Brake Upgrades™ with optimum brake bias offer the shortest stopping distance with the best pedal feel
• Our patented AeroRotors® with the best airflow available result in better cooling, less fade and longer rotor and pad life
• The stiffest aftermarket calipers with patented bridge result in better clamping under hard braking and less pad taper
• Track testing of new applications ensures optimum performance

OE Tuning is a new company in the States led by an world reowned ECU tuner.

Having worked with him in the past, we are delighted to be working with him and his new company once again.

We can now flash almost every european vehicle to give incredible gains in horsepower, torque, and fuel economy.

Not only does flashing your ECU give you power and better fuel mileage, it also will quicken acceleration with much noticeable throttle response.

Just recently we had the opportunity to witness gains on the new BMW X5 M.  The vehicle was dynoed on a dyno dynamics 4 wheel  an gained 90 Wheel torque and 80 Wheel Horsepower!!! 

Even the Mercedes Benz C63s make an average of 70-80 Wheel Horsepower gains on the same dynometer.  For any more info regarding ECU flashing please contact us.

Thank you very much for all the gifts we received from customers and friends especially our new TV!!!
