DUDE! u picked this up in Sac @ Legend Auto. u do know this is really not "V8 Kompressor" right? i checked this out in person...i never did get why they replaced the front engine cover with the old school 55 AMG engine cover

anywho, WELCOME bro! and enjoy ur stay!

Then that explains the old skool e55 air box.. The c55 box didn't fit with the blower underneath..

renntech says 460. i guessing that's flywheel hp, it's only 5lbs i believe. no boost gauge no dyno yet. if i get around to any of this you all will know. but to be honest the car works so good i dont really care about the numbers. alot of time numbers can ruin the car for people.
