I had it done at Floored Fab in Phoenix. The car is still there waiting on some more changes. The HE with front mounted pump and separated reservior cooling kit is $1500. The rear mounted reservoir and additional pump was on top of that.

Good work Steve....

What size pulley are you running now? How does the car idle?

I'm worried about back pressure and power loss as well. Please keep me posted.

I'm running a Renntech pulley and cams. I think the Renntech pulley is 176 mm. Until the changes the car was running fine, no problems. It is too early to know yet whether there is any type of problem. On this round of mods I changed the following:

headers, custom exhaust, magnecore wires, denso Ik20, i/c upgrade, new fuel pump from '04 SLK32, Phantom Grip LSD

I think that is it beside some maintenance stuff well he has the car. We are still waiting to get the diff back from Phantom Grip before we can road test and dyno the car.

Chris did start the car on Friday and didn't report any issues. In fact he said it sound awesome, "Similar sound to a Ferrari GTB 4 Cam!". It would help if I knew what a Ferrari GTB 4 Cam sound like but considering how excited he was by it, it definitely sounded promising. I would imagine that since the car was started with no diff, it spend a fair amount of time at idle but he didn't report any problem. I'll keep you posted as things develop but as soon as we get the diff back, we can road test and dyno the car to see.

The custom exhaust is beautiful. I'm glad that I got my exhaust done, but it came with a price.

I would be interested in hearing how the Phantom grip does - I notice the SRT6 guys are using it and they like it. Good luck with all these mods - very nice!

I asked Chris about the back pressure issue as you are the second person who mentioned it. My exhaust still includes 4 cats, 200 cell as the primary and 100 cell as the secondary and the stock AMG muffler. He thinks the system will still have plenty of back pressure.

Thanks. I'll post the results here as well. My pre mod dyno showed 349 whp so we'll see where we get. Unfortunately, with SLK32 has a 198mm ring gear so Quaife is not an option.
