[QUOTE=AzCLS2006;2076621]Ok guys, I am sure this has been covered but cant seem to find the info... What do the 4 stages consist of and what power do each out out

Stage 1 - ECU PULLEY 50hp

Stage 2 - ALL OF STG 1 PLUS HEADERS AND DOWN PIPES 90-100hp

Stage 3 - ALL OF STG 1-2 AND CAMS 100-110hp

Stage 4 - ALL OF STG 1,2,3 AND A TB. 110-120hp

You can also add the tb and ic pump at any time. The hp numbers may be off but give you a good idea of what you can expect.

As far as I know thats power to the crank. And its total gains from the previous stages together. ie; stage 2=stage 1 + 40-50hp.

That is crank and it is total power for that stage. So not on top of stage one but stage 1 plus stage to is 90hp. Like I said I know the numbers are not the exact that kleemann has on the website but it is a good idea. When I did the k2 to my e55 I pickep up something like 92hp and 115lbft so if I recall I had right about the qouted hp gain but the lbft was about 10-20 higher then what was quoted. Hope this helps and if I find my dyno I can give exact numbers I gained or do a search on the e55 forum and you can find my post with pre and post dyno results.

My question now is this: I thought a Stage 1 was also 50+ HP, but Kleemans website states 20hp? I always thought it was the same as Renntech and I know Renntech Stage 1 is like 45-50HP....

Anyone have a Stage 1 Kleemann car? Please advise.... Thx
