ECU Data
Howdy - I am new so i am not allowed to ask for alot but when are we going to see some actual ECU figures - I read the war with MHP, Kleeman has some numbers, Renntech is totally missing ... i am curious.
I was one click away from buying the Kleeman ECU / headers but now the responisble side of my brain tells me to wait for results......

MBWorld Fanatic!
Problem is - there's been no war (you speak of) "yet"
I sincerely hope that there is a way to do this in a measured way. Get everyone in one place, have someone like European Car mag oversee it and measure the crap out of the process.
What do you tuners say? Heck, do it in the Chicago area and my car can be one of them.

Yes I saw the renntech press release but thats not a dyno or comparison etc.
I look at Renntech and see this
ECU + Long headers = 538hp / 500lb/ft - $9390
and i see the ECU2 pkg is pushing out 10 more hp and 5 more ft/lb than last week when i last checked the site - so that is good news.
Then I contact Kleeman authorized dealer and am told 100hp (551 ??) for ECU/Headers for $5500 - and apparently the ECU alone is giving 55 hp@the wheels.
Then there is EVO Sport saying wait wait wait a couple days for their info
Then MHP i think hes doing something
Does anyone have Kleeman ECU / headers ? I saw an estate on Youtube but that was just a sound dyno - nothing conclusive.

See my other post.
I am getting headers, exhaust mods, an ECU tune, filters, pullies, and a few other tweaks for about $5,500 and I'm told 570 flywheel hp. Will have dyno sheet on Wednesday...

Yeah to be honest I'm a bit skeptical of the Kleeman package. Simply because one shopped just annouced that they installed the headers/tune, but when asked for dynos referenced the #s Kleeman provided.
To me this would indicate that an actual customer did not achieve the same 90+ hp increase??? I would think they would dyno the car considering they have a dyno at the shop, but who knows. I was hoping to see a dyno of the Kleeman headers/tune from a 3rd party anyway.
