They have publically stated that they have a CLK55, so this should make the comparsion easier!

Thanks

Brad
Brad,
I like your suggestion. Especially since I have a CLK55!

Brandon (Kleemann) and Adam (HPS)
Would you agree to switch base cars from a CLK430 to a CLK55?

Timster,
Would you be a willing participant?

Thanks for the quick response Timster.

We need an answer from Brandon (Kleemann) and Adam (HPS) to change our baseline vehicle to a W208 CLK55. Brandon should be heading to Michigan so he's going to have a tough time getting on line. Hopefully Adam will be in on Monday to get on line. Let's give them a little time.

Thanks,
DC

Adam had mentioned no longer sponsoring the furom after April.

Ben, Brad, I got the HPS banner when I went to post this reply. Is HPS still a sponsor? Was today a tuner holiday?

Adam, please do this. This is an oppurtunity to put rumors to rest, or a place to potentially identify areas on your system that could be improved, or even just hang out and participate in the tuner community a learn more. I see no negatives in this equation!

This is a win win for you.

Cool

I read a few HPS posts, their product is less power gain w less price.
So it's not basically apple to apple, why don't we give Adam a chance to propose the "Game rule" he wish ? $.02

I just sent an email with the thread link attached to Salesmyhps@aol.com and requested having the message forwarded to Adam.

I hope to see a post from Adam soon. Any other ideas? Anyone with access to Adam, please let him know about this thread.

Thanks,
DC

Hate to tell you guys this, but..... I told you so. DC's proposal, as good as it may be, is really not that different than my repeated offers to pay for an independent comparative dyno. I made that offer about ten times and never received a direct answer from HPS. I guess it is possible that Adam is on vacation, however, the timing of his departure would be an interesting coincidence.

Well it just makes it a less chance that Adam can say he might've "missed/skippped" it over.

He hasn't posted at bnzsport in about the same amount of time since he posted here.

Bnzsport closed two of the threads I was participating on regarding this. This game bl0ws.

Please correct your self nukblazi. www.bnzsport.com did not "close" any threads, they just didn't take your attitute of Pro KLEEMAN = anti everything else aswelcomed as they do here.

I believe the management of bnzsport.com wants to avoid making the all out flame wars that could be seen here

As most participating members on this board are also active members on the other board, we have a lot of cross discussions and threads that are commented on from both groups and neither board actively "locks" or seeks to "close" threads just because they are full of garbage and personal insults (like you brought against Hank)

Yes I agree. HPS Adam has not posted at all on these boards for the week, so I'm ready to give him the benefit of the doubt and allow him an opportunity to reply. If anyone is able to contact him directly, please do so.
