Stiff1 - I was wondering how it is going with Kleeman and finding all of the K4 HP that was originally missing in the first Dyno Runs that were made? Hope it is good news for you! - Bob

I got the computer back last week and ended up going back to the dyno with the exact same results. It ran between 3-5hp higher then before, so basically the same thing. I am going to head out to another dyno, hopefully this week, to see if that makes any difference. Otherwise Brandon at Kleemann said that he would fly out with his gear and make any of the changes that are needed. I'll let you guys know how it goes.

Keep us updated....noone wants this to happen more than me (outside of you of course).....means that it is possible for me too!!

I think you will get there once Cor tinkers. I am at K2/476 RWHP.....add throttle body would give me another 15 to 491, then cams for another 15 to 507...yeah you should be close, now that I think about it (you have exhaust too right)

Keep us updated.....you should end up with one of the strongest 5.5 motors in the US.

Just curious if any of you K moders have any 0-60 or 1/4 mile times? Also any launch techniques would be appreciated. Here's my before and after Dynos:

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

I'll keep everyone updated. I do not have the full exhaust and it is not standard with a K4 package in the US. According to Brandon it is 7K plus a new rear bumper, and he says that it does not increase HP over the factory AMG exhaust. For 7 grand I'll just trust him and stick with what I have right now.


Once I get the power dialed in right, I'll pull the G-Tech out and see what the 0-60 is then I'll hit the track for the 1/4 mile. I can't wait to have this all set and done.

Stiff1 - It's been another week, so I thought I would check in and see how the tuning is going. - Bob

So far I have had the car on the Dyno four seperate times. All of the numbers have been within 10hp/10tq. Last wwek I found out that the water pump was completely shot and apperantly this causes a non functional intercooler, or so I'm told. Now I have that fixed and I need to head back to the dyno again. I was told that I could pick up as much as 70hp just from that. I should be able to get back to the dyno this week with the new results. Does anybody know if running on the dyno this much is bad for the car? I think that I have 12-15 pulls so far and it seems like I'll be adding quite a few pretty soon, and everytime I do it the car is running up over 185mph. Any info would be great.

Those rims look really nice! What kind of tires are you running?

Ive had one of my car (not my E55) dyno as much as 20 times when i got it tuned and didn't have any problems. I would think your OK.

Stiff1 - A bad Inter-cooler pump will definitely affect performance, so you should see some significant HP gains with the new pump installed. - Bob
