My boy C32AMG_FL is hurt'n real bad after the install. His hands are cut to hell and hes walking like hes 80. LMAO He got a taste of some real work. Dis is 1FasterC32. I was behind him at the light heard the car screech after it was rolling 15mph and the back end dig down. I was like WTF!!! I will let him share his install with you guys but so far it seems like the power is there. I plan on not installing my kit for a month or so. I plan on taking a base line dyno and then doing the install. I think I am going to send the headers off to get a real ceramic coating from SwainTec because these only have a very thin spray paint coating on them. I am also working with a performance shop in Miami to give us some real nice Dino pr oven exhaust options. I will keep you posted of the R&D.

Is that all for a stage one? Or is that the price of the stage 2 when you already have a stage one? If thats the total price of either OMG sign me up! Regardless of Labor!

How much faster or how much HP does it yield?

Oh, I know, I dont have a C32- But by the end of the month goddamnit I will have found the right one!

That was the labor price to install the stage 2 kit (which includes everything from stage 1) -- pulleys, ecu, intake splitter and headers

If you have never done it before and dont have the proper tools you can be in a world of ****. Its a snap for a guy that has some idea on how to turn a wrench properly and knows the lil tricks of the trade.
