In time I'll probably go with the double duals.

First I need to get the car back. LOL

Timster picked up his car today for the long trailering back home.... we wrapped it up so it wouldnt get chipped on the road.

We are doing a center console gage face for Timster as well. We have removed the ashtray assembly and fabricated a new flat panel with radiused edges to match the existing wood trim. Timster picked out the birds eye maple laminate he liked- now we will stain and top coat to match.

GReddy electronic 52mm GGE's for boost pressure and fuel pressure.

I'm anxious to have it ran on both types. It will take some time both require appointments and they’re usually very busy.

Tim, how did the 2 stock dyno runs compare, Dynojet vs. Mustang?

The Dyno’s are two different types of Dyno’s. Dyno Jet is a free drum type and Mustang is a Load dyno.
Very hard to compare, but both are valid ways to tune and test.
I prefer DynoJet only because that's what I'm use to using.

LOL, the car is running great. I let my wife take it to work today she called me and said this is awesome. Not grinding noises, power is there when ever you want it. And the suspension is cool.

Gage panel is being stained and top coated at the moment. I will post pics of the finished product when its done. Timster will have to post the pics installed in his car. He took the CLK without the panel and will install it himself when its done. We did all the wiring before hand so its plug and play.

I'll post the pic's as soon as the gauges arrive. The installation is very easy. Kleemann marked all four cables so this dummy couldn't do it wrong even if I tried. LOL
