Kleeman Rocks! K1 C63 Dyno with report

Got my C63 on a dyno after I finally jumped the fence and got a tune. Went with the Kleeman K1 after lots of helpful emails with Cory over at kleeman USA.

Cant be any happier with these guys, car kicks *** after 5k RPMs now and the data is here to prove it. Other than the tune all I did was remove the charcoal filters.

First solid color run is the tuned run, made 430 at the wheels!
Second dotted run is the bone stock run, that made 373, so thats a 57 HP gain.

Definitely worth the money and a solid tune all around.

So what would the HP be at the crank? Also what did you pay for the K? Looks like you got some good results. Thanks.

Good numbers, especially on EFI Logics Mustang dyno (aka. the heartbreaker).

I had my old Subaru STI tuned there, and although it didn't go as expected, their customer service was out of this world.

Here are my estimations, just remember, these are just my estimations:

57 whp on a Mustang Dyno is around 65 whp on a Dynojet(approximately) and ultimately I am guessing around 78-80 crank HP based on a 20% drivetrain loss.

To the OP. What power is your STI putting?

Look around. The Kleeman tune has been around for a while and it might be the same tune from back then, instead there are other newer tunes out there that probably improved the old tune..

K2 for over a year and never regetted it for a second (K1 is where the biggest bang for the buck lies). Drove a a friends stock C63 and they are two different cars above 4k rpm.

Congrats on the tune, nice numbers

Based on my stock run I had a 20.9% drive train loss. So 430 at the wheels would put me at 520 HP at the crank!

My Sti is stage 2 (turboback and a tune) did 290 WHP and 340 TQ last time i checked
