Thumbs up Dyno of my CLK43K

Here is a graph of my CLK43K (Kleemann) done today compared to my car stock. Using a conservative loss of 17% to the wheels, I am putting out 429hp and 418lb-foot torque running 91 octane. As I'm sure you can tell from the dyno, it's a blast to drive!

Also, note that although for max stock HP it says 246, that was a spike and is really 232.

Ben, that is awesome. Kleemann has really proven to be one of the top tuners, once they grow larger i'm sure that they will take a great deal of business away from RennTECH and numerous other tuners due to their high performance with low prices.

Congratulations on the C43k .

Using a 17% loss, yes. When are you going to come down and check it out?

The 320's are a totally different engine. Getting these numbers out of a 3.2L engine would require much more than the Kleemann kit. The Kleemann kit does get 330HP and 309lb-ft torque, a dramatic increase compared to 221/232 stock. With the Kleemann Supercharger, a 320 should easily beat a 430.

Tomorrow, I should be going to the dealer to have my fuel settings changed to 93. From what I've heard, 93 in Europe may be equivalent to 91 here. Doing this should result in more power for both stock and supercharged cars. I'll post my results as soon as I have some.

I'm going to do some further thinking before I go and change this setting. I may scrap the idea completely.

There could be nothing more right about it! The Kleemann 55 is truly an awesome beast of a car! Performance figures are 550HP and 509lb-ft torque. Our last CLK55 put 437 HP to the wheels, and could spin the tires through 60!
