Renntech SLK Performance?

As I understand it, an SLK32 with Renntech's Performance Package 1 (pulley and ECU) will have 394 hp and 392 lbs-ft. Unfortunately it appears that Renntech is no longer offering the Performance Package 2 (cams/headers). :-( I'm having a hard time locating any actual performance numbers for a Renntech Performance Package 1 SLK. Does anyone have a good idea of 1/4 time and speed, 0-60, 0-100, 0-150?

I put together a list of cars in the same performance bracket, organized them by power:weight ratio, and plotted them out to estimate where the Renntech SLK would fall. It looks like 12.6 @ 114 and 0-60 in 4.3. Do these numbers sound reasonable? Does anyone have any *real* numbers? If anyone is interested in the spreadsheet, just PM me.

sounds reasonable. there are some pulley/ecu c32's running mid-high 12's, from 12.6-12.9 and the stock slk32 is consistently faster than a stock c32. the renntech stage I slk32 i think is well within reach of those numbers, and perhaps with a good launch and at a fast track with good conditions, even faster than that

The SLK32 with RENNTech stage 1 would probably run mid to low 12s @ 109-113mph!!! Seeing that my much heavier C32 with RENNTech stage 1 + SL55 splitter ran 12.7 @ 108mph in 75 degree Florida weather... under prime conditions, you should be able to see a much faster time with the SLK32.
