Trekman, that will be decided by the owner. But dont worry, Kronen will take care of you.

I had an inpatient model thanks to 119 degree temperature and relentless sun outside. Once it cools off a bit and we have an overcast day I'll get some better ones... if they come out good maybe I'll send them into Makes & Models.

For the Performance Package 5, Renntech's published dyno is 485 rwhp and 521 rwtq. I'm getting 478 rwhp and 540 rwtq on the same dyno that measured my stock car at 372 rwhp and 456 rwtq, so I have realized a gain of 106 rwhp and 84 rwtq. At the crank this translates to 130 HP and 103 TQ, for a total 588 HP and 664 TQ. These values compare very favorably to Renntech's performance claims, which are 574 HP and 626 TQ, or +105 HP and +110 TQ, at the crankshaft. So basically I at least got what I paid for.
Obviously my car's stock dyno was low on HP but high on TQ. For the pre-mod dyno run the tank was filled with crap Arizona summer premium fuel (which is not the 91 octane it is supposed to be). Probably the ECU was pulling timing because of this. I believe that with better fuel (and certainly with a more liberal dyno) the stock HP would probably have at least made the factory spec of 469 HP.
The post-mod dyno was done with better fuel, a mix of 3/4 crap "91" premium and 1/4 100 octane race fuel. But I only drove about 20-30 miles with this before the dyno, so I'm not sure the ECU had enough time to fully optimize timing with what was probably 93 octane fuel.
Anyway, I think Renntech is fairly conservative with its claims. Personally I am very happy with their product, and there have been zero problems with car since I picked it up at Dyno-Comp, not one error code or check engine light.
I will post the fuel-air data if I can get it from Dyno-Comp.

Well I did work hard for it
No Ferrari anytime soon, but there is a new Black supercharged Range Rover in the garage. It's for the wife... I personally hate driving SUVs.

Yes, I agree. Even the dyno place said my car stock was putting out unusually high HP, but I attributed that to me driving it like I stole it out of the gate. From articles and testimonies posted here sounds like that really helps. My biggest gain with the K1 was close to 100 ft/lbs of torque and not the hp. For the $ (around $4k) it was hard to beat.

HI Eric
just want to add my voice to the chorus of guys who think you have a HOT wife, great house and an absolutely awesome CLS - great job - top shelf all the way - a real class act if I may say so.
