who needs to stop and turn? brakes, wheels and suspension? na ill just get the go fast parts and hope the hand of god can slow me down.
brakes are the first mod and the motor work is the last -- for me at least.

it will not go 0-60 in 3.8. you have to keep in mind that it only runs at around 6 psi vs. 9 psi for the Kleenman.
Also, if you read tyhe article the car has 600 hp with the other mods all together:
S/C, exhaust, intake, headers, and ecu upgrades...
If you add the headers to my car it will yield around 35 additional horses, plus the ecu modification which will put the car at around 550 hp.
I went a different route and added the nos instead. The nos goes directly into the intercooler (which is safe, if you can use that word) and the add hp is at the very least 75 hp (which could be easily tweeked up an additional 50 hp)
that give you a car with well over 600 hp.
And like i said the nos is a lot cheaper than the headers.
Also you don't need that much power everyday. It's nice to have an option (under the steering column) to add anywhere between 75 - 125 hp with one switch.
As an everyday driver, the car is probably pushing around 500 hp. trust me, it's plenty of power.

Bennyz - please post your dyno graph as I would like to see the difference so that I can make an educated decision on this.

are you sure thats whp? 347whp on a stock C55 seems too high considering its rated at 362 at the crank.

headers alone add another 35-40 hp which would make the kleenman about 35-40 hp stronger than my car (my car doen not have the headers)
I opted for the NOS which is lots of fun and much more power when you put the metal down!
I will post up dyno charts later this week.

I spoke with Brandon @ Kleemann last week and he stated 485-490bhp for the C55 with the kompressor (K S4). He further went on to say that the approx. install time was 22 hours and $1800-$2000 for install fee. Also, a Las Vegas installer is in the works, should give us So Cal guys a slight tax break.

I plan on sending my car to Brandon at Kleemann. Just waiting for my HRE 441r's to be delivered!

So I'm guessing that the Black mercedes Logo's were done custom by Meridian?
