Nothing wrong with the tune or the power. It isnt where i want it to be. Before a masterpiece is revealed an artist likes to complete his work, right?? I took on some mods with this car that went above and beyond standard protocol with bolt-ons. Tuning and tweaking has proved to be a delicate balance of reliability and power. I am not ashamed of my results. 500+ is pretty common for our cars (especially with some of the crazy minpulated numbers i have seen on "level 1's" and "level 2's") so until I have the car complete youll have to simply enjoy videos, pics, and updates. And if you dont like that I suggest you shut off your computer or go dump as much money as you can into seeing what the car does for yourself. Until then I am going to continue working on MY car and helping the community with feedback as I go. Fair enough?

ssonss1... Man that was my first thought to.
Just ignore him!
AS for the rest of us… this is a great thread! I have the 63 and I still like what beauphus is doing! Great info, and at some point in time I may do the same. I'm taking notes and seeing what does and doesn't work.
Like a good novel, Can’t wait to see how it ends. LOL

I broke into mid 5's with my build but I read of others who have supposedly a fraction of th e mods doing much bigger numbers and I am wondering if there is something I am doing wrong...Ultimately I know track numbers trump all but I am curious if there are some hidden mods everyone with these crazy numbers is doing that I am not aware of.
But you said the car is not done what gives?

Its not done. But up to this point I have a lot of mods compared to some of the posers on this forum claiming crank number as rwhp. Y r u heckling me? So far you have added ZERO value to this forum. You just want to see the dyno so u can compare to your build going on in Chicago I'm sure... Anyone else sense a Full Throttle attitude? D-bag...

Just looking for some clarity, your posts are all over the place. One minute your car is not done the next you're not happy with the current dyno numbers whatever they are. If your car is not done as you say, and you're not concerned with what your current numbers are as you say.Why are you making threads in the E55 section complaining about your current dyno figures.

What useful information have you shared? You posted a parts list,some street pulls and a few dyno vids with zero data. Not busting you chops just looking for some useful information.

The car is not finished however to date i have done more mods then most. lets face it. There isnt a whole lot more i can do without going TT. I know my mods are real and I didnt cut corners. I also know my power is very real. I find it humorous that people lie, inflate, cheat, or embellish their numbers to look good when they have a few bolt-ons and a stolen tune.

considering I have owned multiple AMG's for the last 5 years and NEVER posted until I started modding this current one, I may not post new inventions for our cars but at least I am not an a$$ to people, and so far I have done some mods that MOST have not or will not do. And I have a few more to go. What have u done in ur short tenure here? O wait - havent u been banned multiple times already?

Just so I'm clear.. You are going to put a Kleemann blower and cam on a 500.. along with headers and what not.. Then go kill AMG's?
Let me be the first in line for a friendly race with you.

Cut the guy a break here, Aaron has obviously taken his CLS down the road less traveled.. When other would have just moved on, washing their hands with the car. So taking on a build like this while putting his money, time, and effort into it. Says something about his passion for this car.

When its all said and done.. You will have to ask yourself if you would want to race him?

In fact I dont know one built that was shared with all of us, that didnt have some ups and downs.

If you ever get to the point of building your CLS, you may need a guy like Aaron who has some insight on the do's and dont's.

Sit tight, let the guy build his car and share it with the folks that care. If dyno numbers are what your looking for.. Sit tight, I'm sure he will drop a number down soon..

I agree with you, but Aaron is not being honest with the community. His car is having some MAJOR issues, its not making the power that the current setup should be making. Rather than being honest he is posting things that are not true. Until he posts a dyno sheet, or explains why his car is not making the power it should, he has zero credibility as far as im concerned. The guy wont even admit that his car is having problems. Why should anyone believe anything he posts.
