Hello has anyone bought any Race IQ cams for your W203? I seen they have some for E55k and seen videos of them. They sounds real mean and aggressive but not sure if they would work on my C55. I currently replaced my stock cams and replaced them with the E55k cams.

I was actually looking into the cams a little while ago and they most likely will work is what some people said and the gain is very minimal unless you are boosted or have a shot of nitrous but if you do go for them can you do a before and after dyno run see the gains if they are good I'll pick some cams up to. Anthony how is the 150 shot treating you I heard 100 is max you can run on a c55 for it to be safe and how was the install you have pictures?

Hey atlas,

my 150 shot has been wonderful, I installed back in august and have had absolutely no issues, I stayed with a 50hp wet shot and eventually moved up to 100. Thats when I did the dyno (401hp 440tq) After the meth Injection was installed I bumped up to 125 and then eventually 150. I need to do another dyno run now because it is night and day after meth and the additional 50hp shot.. I have a wideband installed and keep the car at 12.0, I also have 2 step colder spark plugs. I also have a window switch installed so the nitrous shuts off right before I shift.

Got the cams installed lastnight.

first I gotta say, the kleemann instructions were awful. The job needed way more in order to complete but man was it worth it! The car is so much smoother! All around drivability is just tons better, partly because my brother found a bad lifter while we was in there so i think that was causing some roughage. I gotta get the car to the dyno because I noticed a HUGE gain in power above 3krmp. The roads were a little wet so I didnt get a chance to try it with nitrous but I'm sure it's even a bigger gain. The car sounds a bit louder and the tone is slightly deeper. Overall, so far, I'm impressed. Now I just have to get the longtubes on!
