Took the car to the track last night to see how the Kleemann ECU did. Made two little mistakes: Pressed the "+" on the steering wheel too soon twice! From 3rd - 4th & 4th - 5th, both at around 5700 RPM.

. DUDE, head back to the track & give 'er a' go again. You should be picking up a tenth or two w/your mods (despite the high temp & humidity). 
See ya,

I'm waiting for my HRE's to come in (2 more weeks) and then I will go back again. Hopefully I'll find time to get the Evosport Underdrive Pulleys on too!

. I'm just yanking your chain. It appears you just need some more traction. For what its worth, a local speed shop obtained .5 sec quicker 0-60 time on an AMG CLS with Kleeman's LSD install alone. It might be a something for you to look at later.Pls keep us posted (literally) once you get your new rims/tires. What did you get (aspect ratio?). Thanks.

The HRE's are C21 Competition Series - 19" 8.5 front 9.5 rear with Pirelli Rosso's. 235/35 265/30
Once this set is gone I will roll the fenders and put some 245 in the front along with 285 in the rear. :v
What can we look forward to in your Stage 2 SLK?

I tried to look up the C21 Comp series on this web site but I can't find it? Maybe you have another site that shows what they look like? http://www.hrewheels.com/Wheels/A 265 rear width should be enough tire for your power level when coupled with the LSD (until you get cams :v ).
See you!

Too many to list
Times in the quarter mile are pretty useless for comparing power from engine mods. However, power is very consistent with trap speeds.
So if you ran 109.75 mph before and now 107.52, you put down less power. Whether that is due to the weather or short shifter, it's tough to know.

Jam, an LSD will help but when you put down the numbers your E55 does, you will still roll 'em (even with a wide footprint - you really need DRs, but hey, I think Dinko's just aiming for a good run).

So I'm confused. Are you saying put in manual, stomp it and the computer will shift at redline each time? Also, why is this better than putting in Sport and stomping it?

P.S. Rather Off-Topic, but I have another little something coming up this Monday. Stay tuned, it will be something to check out for everyone
