I figured about 1-2mpg better in town, when I SC'd my mustang the city mpg went up by 2mpg(so long as you are driving "normal" ).

Kleemann turned off the cats related CEL's so no SES during driving, 500+ miles since I got the car back and still going strong.

a car that can't do the throttle reset.
2Manycars, can I ask what shop you are talking about in NJ? Could use a reliable place.

A full Kleemann install & proper dyno tune will yield between ~ 500 - 560 Hp (flywheel). Tuning, octane & boost level will determine your final output within that range.

Mine put down 424 whp and 403.36 torque @ 8.65 psi on 93 octane, that's around 530hp @ the flywheel, which is on par with what Kleemann claimed the car would make for its S4 package.

Do you know what size pulley you are running to make 8.65 PSI?

I believe you have teh S8 package correct?

That looks right. Mine put down pretty much the same power, except my wtq was 415lb-ft if I remember correctly. I did add Evosport underdrive pulley kit also, so doing that might give you a little more...

Thanks for the tip, addicted. I think I'd done enough to mine, gotta move my attention onto the GT-R.

Blackbenz,
If my memory serves me right, Kleemann no longer calls the top of the line package for the SLK55s S8, but S4 instead, I could be wrong though.

Pointman,
Sorry I missed your question earlier. The shop I use is called Applied Force, they are located in Boonton/Montville area. Their number is 973-299-0078, ask for Sam when you call and make sure to tell him you were referred by Anthony.

Yellow R1 - What do you attribute your +65 rwhp difference between your Kleemann and 2MANYCARS? If I'm not mistaken you are producing greater rwhp without the cams as well.

Dyno tuned at higher boost/octane.

Blackbenz,
The pulley is 2.6" but I could swap it with a smaller one to get more boost out of the blower, that's if I could find a smaller supercharger pulley.

Correction, the pulley is actually 2.8", called Cory for a 2.6", and he said he should have one avaliable in about a week or 2.

Good Luck with all your stuff from GMP Performance... Their invoices all clearly state... No Returns on Electrical Parts-NO EXCEPTIONS... No Returns on Mounted Wheels-NO EXCEPTIONS... No Cancellations or Returns on Special Order- NO Exceptions... Ohh yeah by the way I returned my wheels and tires to them over two months ago because of a manufacturer's defect, and I do not have a refund or replacement... Because of their great terms and conditions...

Why didn't you deal directly with the manufacturer to have them send you a replacement?

I am working on that now. Hopefully it will get resolved soon. But as of now, Wheel Power which manufacturer's Radenergie has one wheel, and GMP Performance has the other three wheels and four tires.

Just wondering... how much did GMP charge you for labor? How does the warranty work if something goes wrong?

2ManyCars, also what problems did you notice when you flew down to look at your car? I am thinking of getting GMP to install supercharger. Thanks!!!
