CLK 43K + extras:
In about 2 weeks, I'll have approximately 500HP and 490lb-ft torque (will be verified by dyno). I expect my 0-60 to be about 4.7 and my qtr mile 12.5 sec. August 11th, I will be entering in a drag competition (race), and hope to have my car complete by then. I expect to be pushing about 570HP and 530lb-ft torque, so a qtr mile of 12.2-12.4 wouldn't be out of the question. I'll keep my fingers crossed.

Mercedes C43 AMG
Ben,
What kind of "extras" do you have over the SC? What else do you intend to put into your car on August 11? I am interested in modding my C43 and have been considering the Kleemann SC as well.
Thanks,
Baron

I can't talk about pricing until we have finished R&D and testing. There are a variety of factors which come in to play concerning pricing, and they all must be calculated at that time. Dynographs will be provided at their release showing true HP/Torque gains. I am expecting bigger gains from my headers than a stock 430 because I have more air going in (which needs to get out).
Maxing out any engine depends on many factors; primarily money and reliability. A reliable 5.5L engine without being rebuilt to handle more boost could put out 650+HP with some easy modifactions. However, with reliability and power comes price. It would be cheaper to slap a bunch of NOS into the stock 5.5L engine and get big gains, however they would not last very long!
Thanks
