That's all there is to it. Why anyone would WANT to make themselves look like an idiot in their MB hatchback "chirping" their tire like a pimply faced teenager in a '92 Honda Civic is an entirely different question altogether.

Re: No 1/4 yet

I haven't run the 1/4 yet with the pulley. It actually doesn't feel like the 230hp that Kleemann claims. I don't know if anyone else's cars feel the same way. It isn't much quicker off the line, probably because of the computer, and it does start pulling harder as it revs, but it just doesn't feel as powerful as I expected.
I ran a 6.8 0-60 without the pulley on the same run. Then I went out with the pulley and Gtech Pro and was running like 7.2 sec. This was before I gave the computer a chance to adapt and I never got the space to do a quarter run. And I haven't done it since. I'm going to put a K&N cone on this week and maybe I'll run it after that.

I have a G-Tech also, you should do the test for at least 3-5 times to get the right number, if the road have a little bump, your number will be off a bit. My average 0-60mph time with G-tech is 7.2sec, that is with a home made K&N cone filter setup and 1/4 mile is 15.7@91.8mph.. My stock 0-60mph is 7.5sec and 15.9sec 1/4 mile.
