Well guys,
Sorry I did not yet post pictures and videos, I have been too busy driving my Benz. Unfortunately, I do not have pictures yet nor video, but I should be able to post some in one week.
The V58 engine is absolutely incredible, you really feel the 630Nm and the 440hp, its really amazing stuff. Honestly, I recommend this company they do insane stuff... It might cost some money but the result is just sick.
I am going back to Vath to install a complete new set of suspension and the rims below in 19. I can't wait

Yup you are correct that will be the next step. I can get 565hp (Torque-> 569lb-ft or 770Nm). & it should be very reliable

I finally have 2 pictures but no videos so fare 
I will take pix of the new suspensions system & better pix of my Benz. This was after driving 600miles on the way back to Switzerland so its extremely dirty.

On this picture you can tell about 'the special' manifold. I will take better pictures so you can see the mods better

Well guys,
I am sorry to disappoint but the reason I did not post a picture of the engine its because you can not see the difference, it looks stock
The parts that were change are all inside the engine
Long stroke crankshaft
Sports pistons and camshafts
Polished cylinder heads
High performance air filter
Special range manifold system (Thats the only part you can see )
Fine-tuning of the ECU
My only mistake was not to ask Vath to take pictures of the engine while they built it

Nice sound on the video. However, what I'm more interested in is to read about your driving impressions.
This is a naturally aspirated rebuilt M113 engine. How does it compare to stock? Any thoughts to share with us? Any data about acceleration times?
Looking forward to hear from you.

Compared to stock, does it pull a LOT harder or is it more "progressive" in acceleration (almost stealthy?). My C32 feels a TON different than the Kleemann, that's why we are asking. Any qtr or 1/8 mile drag times???

No problem, I will do so next week I am too busy lol
Basically it pulls much harder all the time, it might be ‘only 70 hp’ but it makes all the difference. The huge amount of torque 690Nm does contribute to a much more brutal acceleration at any speed. It was an expensive project but well worth it. The next project in a few months is to buy another C55 and install the E55k engine tuned
Unfortunately I do not have any exact data for the quarter mile . However, in theory the 0 to 62mph is suppose to take around 4.7s now but more impressive is the noise the car makes while driving it, the face of people is just bloody priceless.
