If we had some closer pictures of what those charge pipes are going to, we could have a better idea of what exactly is going on...
If those charge pipes and ugly airbox are specifically for show only, then that's a terrible job.

i'll ask him for closer pictures. i was skeptical because usually people that do that much work to their c55 end up on here. except the industrialist in mexico if anyone has heard about what he's got.

+1 on that! yea i never got that for asking him if it was to the crank or to the wheels. if you guys go through the pics and see the kleemann black 55 with neons, he is on here and he says he has six hundred something hp to the crank.

haters crazy
Doesn't matter. Even if he has dyno graphs. I would just like to know details on the car. I love it when people push the envelope and do different things. I know dynos don't matter because I have dyno sheets that are absurdly high. A modded SL63 made under 400whp on this dyno right before I got on (from what I remember alot under 400whp). Mine made 683whp 
So what I'm saying is dynos don't really matter. And yes with enough money you can pretty much do anything
