Before and After K1 Mod Dynos

Just got back from the Dyno Store and have the 2nd run numbers after the K1 mod.

Before (Stock) 443hp 446 ft/lbs torque
After (K1 Mod) 464hp 535 ft/lbs torque

As you can see the there was a 21rwhp gain but an unbelievable gain of 89 ft/lbs of torque. I am more than happy and would highly recommend this mod. I want to thank Tom and the guys at Lucent Motors in Santa Monica. They're the best!

Basically the Kleemann version of the Renntech Mod you have. Pulley and ECU.

Can you please post the dyno graphs so we can see the impact to the torque curve? Thanks.

Did you use the same Dyno for the before and after runs?

Man, I'm going to beat the living **** out of my car the minute I get it, just to see what kind of rwhp #'s I can get. If my car dyno's higher than normal as I suspect it will then there really might be something to this break in BS after all.

I'll keep you guys posted..

My thoughts would be how long I'm going to keep the car. Couple of years?? might run it really hard the whole time... going to keep it for 10 years then I would be much easier during the break-in period.

It's not just the engine. Tranny, rear end...

The debate lives. Input from everyone as we go is going to be great

Congrats on the K1 mods and your car. I love the CLS, it is a work of art. Kleemann mods will change the character of your car, Big Time!!! Before my K2 mods I trapped at 114mph. After K2 plus LSD I trapped @ ~123mph. It is money well spent.

443WHP! Thats amazing, thats roughly 530 Crank if you add the driveline loss!

All those skeptics that continuously deny the fact that the E55 and CLS55 are just as powerful as the SL55, CL55 and S55 can chew on that! 469hp my ***!

You will spend 3-4k on K1 and 7-10k+ on K2 depending on the extras (like LSD and IC pump)
