Performance Improvements via Stage 1 kit and lsd
Being new, I am wondering whether anyone has any info regarding 0-60 or 1/4 mile times as a result of installing a Kleemann K1 package and a new LSD on my 04' S55? The install is almost complete, but am wondering what to expect.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks in advance.

mean and amused
Why are you so mean? I meant no ill will. In fact, even indicated that there was no intent to provoke. I was tired, it was late at night, and I was bored and frustrated by no responses. So, I responded to myself. Ever talk to yourself .... Its the same thing. So, please go easy fella, my feelings are hurt.

The results
Well, I now have the car back with the Kleemann pulley and ECU flash, not to mention the new diff., and the car has become a beast. I write, not only to myself, but to anyone else who reads this and asks whether the Kleemann K1 package is worth the money. IMHO, it's worth every penny.

Glad to hear that the car is running like a beast! Care to give some more detail? I was debating about the differential myself and was advised against it by a reputable person. Mostly because of its usefulness on the street. He said on the track maybe something else but on the street it wouldn't add anything.
I was originally intrigued by Kleemann's claim that it can knock 0.3 seconds off the 0-60 second time for a SL55.

Dyno results
I did do before and after dynos. I just returned tonight from a trip to D.C. and will post the the dyno results as soon as I am able to upload them. The dyno used was a dyno pack, I believe, and due to it being done without the rear wheels, likely resulted in approx. 15 hps more than it likely has. I believe, without looking, that I gained 55 hp and 60 ft/lbs between best pre-mod dyno and best post-mod dyno.

Has anyone bought this type of sling shot before that holds the amo in the handle? http://www.liangdianup.com/sporting_1.htm
this company has free shipping to anywhere in the world and they guarantee delivery to Australia. I heard that sling shots
are ok to sell in Australia as long as you say they are being used to toss bait in the water when you go fishing, any truth
to thatone?

Dyno results
Hopefully, the dyno results are correctly attached to this. My work computer system may not allow me to do it, but I attempted to do so.

I've posted the dyno results. The cost of the Kleemann K1 package, which includes a new pulley and ECU flash, was about $2200, including labor (I think). I don't have a tech background and am very new to modifying cars, but the performance has increased greatly, even from my novice perspective. I'd definitely recommend Kleemann.
