Aaron and Dan called me with a progress report; just waiting on some minor parts, but everything is looking good. Aaron emailed me a few pics to share (all added to my profile album). More Pics, dynos, and vids coming soon
The Kit:
Intake Manifold vs Kleemann Blower
Kleemann Blower
Inter-cooler
Work in Progress

SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET!
Did the intercooler come with the kit or was it an added in piece? I presume it was in the package right? Love the painted E55K airbox too Carlos.

Ha, Ha! Man! You're telling me!
Yes, the intercooler does come with the kit(you can see it on the left hand side of the Kit Pic)! I can't take credit for the painted airbox, my buddy Brent (who I bought my kit from) had it painted before he installed it on his Show Car, so it was a bonus!
So Kev, have you spoken to the Kleemann boys in your neck of the woods?

I was told that the s/c, cams and headers are good for getting close to 500HP on 95 octane gas. With a well designed cat-back system and improved air-intake I imagine a guy could get a little over 500HP. I've seen some dyno charts of 500's with just the s/c and there are laying down 320-350, that's right where you should be Carlos.

He spent around 20K for it
At a quick glance at the picture in the workshop/garange your car looks like a black series

UPDATE 02/03/2011:
Thanks for the kind words everyone!
The ECU just came back from Kleemann and they're ready to fire her up! I received some new pics (shout out to Mike Martinez @ DC for the great pics) and was told the video will be available soon. Enjoy!
Engine Exposed:
Looks light as a feather
Fits like a Glove
Sexy
