Got my **** handed to me by another E55!
Ok it wasn't that bad well actually it was...but Darren_Dallas who is too kind to state this in a thread had me pretty much in all ranges, from 0 - 100, 50 - 120, pretty much everywhere. With the Osborn Racing headers and Pulley it wasn't as noticeable, he was pulling away from me but at a much slower rate. But if I had him on the launch we were staying pretty much even, my car is bone stock other than a Brabus lowering module. I need to work on my launches by the way..
The Kleeman chip is what changed everything, once Darren had that installed it was really no competition. Its fun to see what these mods can do in the real world, and from what I see on Darren's car it makes a hell of a difference the headers sound great too.

Well, mine is still stock. Maybe we should make it a threesome someday. By-the-way, are either one of your cars white? I saw a white E55 going west on NW highway last Tuesday, the 21st. It looked a lot like mine.

It's my car. I bought the items from an outfit called Osborn racing. I'm not sure, but they may be using/reselling certain parts from other manufacturers and making certain parts themselves. Regardless, the Kleemann ecu is what really brought it together. Cannot say enough good things about Brandon at Kleemann USA.

Kudos to Ray for posting his thoughts. You're too kind Ray, thanks for being the guinea pig. I'm glad the money invested is starting to pay off. My wife was about to divorce me 
Although now after speaking with Brandon I'd like to have them install the LSD and remove the primary cats and resonators. Then I believe the car would not just walk, but run away from you

Agree 100%
Had my car for 14 months stock before modding, I can say that my modded car makes a stock E55 seem slow. The car is transformed once you have ECU/Headers/Pully & LSD
