Question

What are full Kleemann specs and how does it run? I see lots of "full Kleemann specs" and have yet to understand what this means.

Full Specs means that everything KLEEMANN has to offer for the car is on that car. Typically this is:

Supercharger
Suspension
Brakes
Spoilers
Exhaust System
Interior
Steering Wheel

It's got more HP & Torque than the CLK55! Grrrrrrrrrrrrr....
I guess I might be able to take it in weight savings?

Smooth, powerful and quiet. If you ever find yourself in Colorado feel free to stop in and drive one of our demo cars! Currently we have a 2003 E50K, 2000 CLK 43K, 2000 E32K and a 2002 E55K.

Dont worry Timster- your car will equal these figures (or be VERY close). This particular car tested very well BEFORE the SC installation, which carried through to the final dyno.

Question

What did the car dyno at before mods and at what RPM does the power drop off?

NOT COMPLETE - SOMETHINGS MISSING?

Cory, where are those awful 'Pepto-Bismal' colored engine covers and brake calipers?



I like the look of this V6 cover (plus it has dual intakes):



What happened to the E55's dual intakes/filters that I have seen on other AMG 5.5 installs? Your E55 install looks like an E430.

W210 and W208 Chassis does not allow the use of the "on top" airbox with dual intakes. The S, CL, G and most V6's do allow the use of that box.

Using 21% as the loss through the drivetrain 523 crank HP.

This is on winter gas (in Colorado from November to April contains a minimum of 10% Ethanol).

I don't know if I am reading the chart right. but what accounts for the reduced s/c output (red line) compared to the original numbers (green line) for the speeds below 70.

Not flooring the gas pedal. They waited to get into fourth before they floored it.

Flooring a 500+HP CLK on the dyno would screw up the chart (not to mention make a lot of smoke in an enclosed building). The tires would break traction through 80mph.

Mine only gets a little cloud of smoke When you come down for your check up, make sure you bring an extra set of tires! That way, we can go have some fun

Awesome picture!
And those headlights all on at the same time you must have busy.
I hope those were extra tires!
