Milton - How's the Kleeman upgrade on your CLS

Milton,

Met you in Hicksvill at the RPM-RACING tech session on Jan 7. Your car was in for Kleeman K2 upgrade inclusive of ECU, Headers, Pulley and exhaust mods.

I'm sure your lovin the xtra power and exhaust must sound awsome :v .

Enquirery minds want to know. How have the mods been performing, Have you dyno'ed? If so what kind of HP and Torque #'s you getting. Also how does the exhaust mod sound?

Would love to see pics of the header and exhaust mods.

All the best

Roger

Hello Roger,

It is awesome, it runs fast and hard, I love it. Hopefully this week we will do the cams and the TB is in so that brings to K4, I also did the water pump upgrade as preventive. Remember I also did the exhaust bypass, it's terrific. The roars. The guys at RPM Racing a great and know what their doing. Can't wait to keep working with them. I also put on new 20 Vellano in chrome. I will have pic soon. Thanks.

Glad to hear things went so well with your upgrades. Guess you'll soon be out looking to Vipers and Z06 vettes to run and leave em with a dumbfounded look on their faces.

So when all is said and done with your K3 upgrade it looks like you'll have 610hp and 618 ft lbs torque. Very sweet.

Also new shoes look great.

It's good to hear positive things about the quality and level of service RPM has given you. When I'm ready to do my mods I'll likely take the car to Russ and Eric at RPM.

Definitly go with the guys at RPM, they have been great super informative and great service. By end of next week I will have all 4 stages which is K3 + TB. Kleemann say thats about 635hp, plus the exhaust mod. adds about another 20hp bring the total a little over 650hp, Looking forward to it.

I hope you don't mind me asking...but what does the K4 kit usually cost and how much with installation...I hope I didn't just cross the line...

Car looks great Milton, and glad your enjoying the newfound power! See I told you 20" would be just fine!

I see you ended up taking my advice on skipping the 19inchers!

Thanks, Once you get use to 20 it hard to go back. I love the look, it just roads I worry about. Thanks for all your help. I found them at local dealer in stock, gave me a great deal on them, and was helping sell me my old wheels.
I really appreciate your help, and recommend you guy,

Derrick is great and very informative, and asset to this forum. Anyone looking for any wheel should look him and consider his company. They have some great products. Good Luck
