Finally got my car back.

Finally picked up my car yesterday. I'm too busy driving so I'll post pictures soon. I am absolutely blown away by the way my car is driving with the Kleeman SC... I really didn't expect such dramatic gains. 400hp at the rear wheel is putting a huge smile on my face. Anyway, back to driving. I'll post pictures and a more detalied impressions soon.

I have to say, this was car was a monster. The combination of the MKB components allowing the car to breathe better, sport diff and the Kleemann compressor is absolutely awesome!

Here's the dyno sheet on the car:

So now that you've had the car for a few days? What do you think? Mine will be ready Monday! You should come down on the 4th, and see how much faster than my 43K you are

I've been so busy driving I haven't had time to check the forum. I'll take pictures and post my detailed impressions tomorrow. The car is unbelievable. I can't believe it is as fast and smooth as it is. I would think about the 3.07 differential... I think the 3.27 with the SC will be too extreme in the lower gears. You'll be hitting the rev limiter too fast ( I already am and am talking to your guys about doing some remapping) and your tires are gong to be struggling to grip.... I thoght about jumping up from the 3.07 to the 3.27, however, your guys at Evosport thought it would be a bad idea.

Driving in the rain yesterday was really amusing.... I strongly suggest you leave the traction control on while driving in the rain once you get Kleemannized.

Yeah, I've been debating which diff to use, and will probably have to stick with a 3.07. I may just wait, and do some other mods first.

I'll get my car back Monday, I can't wait!
