My choice has been made!

I elected to go with DynoComp for my final custom tuning.

Brad said that the deal DynoComp/Renntech offered was very good but if it did not work to my satisfaction then I can come back to him for the AEM piggyback solution.

I will get basically two custom-tunes for the price of one and it will come with a toggle switch that will allow me to flip between a 91 octane street map or a 100 octane race map.

I will let them select a new set of high-flow injectors as my previous set was melted in the fire at Vadim's shop. The fuel pump has already been upgraded from the Kleemann fuel kit and the fuel kit includes a boost-a-pump and FMU so fueling should never be an issue when running up to 1 bar psi.

Both the larger crank pulley and the smaller SC pulley will be installed. I think 1 bar psi should be plenty as I want my engine to last at least 100K miles.

Along with the tune will be a swap out of the Kleemann headers for the DynoComp long-tubes, a H-pipe will also be added to the exhaust to further take advantage of scavenging. I'm also going to change out the mufflers and get larger exhaust tips to improve the sound slightly. If anyone is interested in my Kleemann headers, downpipes and hi-flow cats for $1K please PM me.

Thanks. I think I still may need direct port nitrous installed to get a shot at the Dragtimes top spot but I'm confident that Renntech/DynoComp can tune it safely with a nice ZEX setup.

Good luck! Let us know how it will work out

OT: Will the C55 headers fit a 2003 S55 AMG (N/A) ?

I can do this muffler, along with custom hand made tips that are in the style of the E63. These mufflers flow very well and sound amazing. Just an Idea

Good luck but I've heard pretty much the same story from you so many times that I'm not getting my hopes up this time. I think you should just post when it's done and stop giving everyone false hope and false claims

I dont have anything for the slk32. I think we have some slk32 exhaust stuff from RENNtech in stock.

It's basically an E55K shortblock with ported C55 heads and oversized REV valves. The SC is still aftermarket Kleemann.

I'd have to check with Brandon or Cory on that and post the answer here.

Thats because it was in stuck in FD's shop until now. It's been out for over a week and I drove it to DynoComp and Evosport for thorough inspections and dyno tests. The car is now at the dealer for Flex B service and another thorough inspection before going under the knife with a well estblished tuner.

Don't you think I've got enough mods already installed? It's not like I was doing nothing all this time. All I needed was someone to do the final tuning for added boost. I don't expect any delays from now on.

Not sure the squarish tips match the old body style. I was thinking of the big oval tips that are joined together like the 65s. I will post a pic from my iPhone later. I took those pics while at an Irvine car meet yesterday.

Did you get a solid pump gas baseline at evosport's dyno? Not sure if I saw the results posted, if so; anyway, just curious.

I saw the unfortunate circumstances that occurred when trying to get a race-gas pull accomplished, in your other thread. Just didn't see if you got any runs in on pump.

No, never got a complete dyno run but the AF was in the 11's up to about 325rwhp near 4Krpm I believe before some water got sucked into fuel injectors and caused to run to stumble. The dyno operator said it looked the AFR looked fine up until that point and was consistent with the DynoComp chart I showed him.

? Why? He's 150 miles away and I don't have an HPS SC anymore. I've stopped seeing him for over 2 years.

btw...Not sure who did the meth install had anything to do with anything.
