Update of status of the S/C installation.

Here you can see the S/C on the work bench:



Here's a pic of the S/C already on the car:
Man these guys work fast!

All I can say is, all I get to do is look, I don't get to touch.

It looks the same as Timster's pic.
Kleemann keep the stock V8 engine cover.
a fine cut needed in the front edge.


CLK55K vs CLK50K, you mean 560 hp vs 500 hp ?
I can't walk away SL55AMG quickly, but Timster can.

As of Friday the S/C installation was complete. And all of the broken parts have been replaced. Brandon was going to Dyno it, but the weather turned bad so they cancelled.
Which is ok with me, bad weather isn’t the best condition to test in.
They still need to road test the car, change out the suspension and make the gauge pod.
I won't be able to pick up the car until mid next week at the earliest.
Thanks for asking,
Tim

I have a three day vaction planned for end of the week. I'm trying to figure out a way to cancel so I can go and pick up the car as soon as it's ready. But the vacation is already paid for so I have go. As for sleep not much, I've even clean the garage!
LOL,
Tim

About 1 1/2" lower. Which should look just right.
As soon as it's done I'll post pic's,
Tim

Timster has posted a new thread abouty his SC installation. I will post the dyno again here to keep it alive on this thread. Numbers are at the crank (dyno measures powertrain losses) at 5,870 feet above sea level. Timsters numbers will improve at sea level.

Timster, are you planning to take your car to the same indy dyno again once you get your car back? You know? In essence, *Trust, but verify* Kleemann's results.

Hank,
The only Dyno's around my area (That I know of?) are DynoJet and Mustang. I had the car ran on both when it was stock.
I will use the same dynos, that way the comparison will be accurate, and the guys that run theses two Dyno’s know what there doing. Not every shop that has a Dyno does.
At this point I have the utmost confidence in Kleemann, they have done an impeccable job of keeping me updated and providing me with documentation to back up what they advertise. The only reason to have a dyno done, in my opinion is to back up the facts that they have already given me. Besides having a car dyno’d is allot of fun.
Tim
