When to Kleemann

I have just over 3k miles on my car and i want to put a kleeman chip and air box.... maybe the throttle body and pulley but no headers. before I start working the motor of the car. I don't want to cause any problems. Thanks for any help

p.s. the car is my every day driver.

I would put the headers before K3. You'll get more for your money out of K1/K2.

I went with the K2 headers (around 5k miles) and was happy. AFAIK, gains from the K3 throttle body have yet to be confirmed by a forum member - Hopefully soon!

This may be a stupid question but how many miles are
recommended on a new C63 before doing an ECU tune?
1,000 miles? 2,000 miles?

You could have it done at 1 mile or 100,000, it doesn't really matter.

Thanks.

Wasn't sure if a proper break-in was recommended first.
