vrus is working on a CF box for the 55 engines.
Vadim is working on a CF box for all the AMG engines.
I'm curious to see if they'll fit on the 600 engines.
vrus ordered the E55 CF airbox to see if it'll do the gains which it claims.
Just food for though.

I can claim it adds 500hp and 500tq, that's a huge difference but it's still a claim.
Like I said, I'd wait for vrus' results to come out and then see if you want it or not. I'd rather pay 3k for a cf box that I knows makes power or doesn't make power than not knowing -- if that makes sense.

Ricky, I just have faith in RennTech's tuning. Take a look at member RennTechV12's automobiles. One of is cars was producing 150 more tq than the RennTech upgrade initially claimed to add.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying RENNtech is a bunch of liars and crooks, I'm saying I trust a chart with numbers a lot more than a website with some nicely rounded numbers.
