I just don't know how we can ever really thank you enough Victor.
I wish AMG would put out a VRUS edition or something.
I guess for now you can just consider us all in your debt. If you ever need ANYTHING from us, you let us know.
You got a lot of favors due you mister!!!

Ok guys.. I feel like an expecting father here... the suspense is killing me... How are the installs coming along? Everything ok? I didn't receive any phone calls so I assume everything is A O K...
--------------
Thanks for the feedback Jim! I am so happy to know that the MB mechanic likes the kit.. I hope everything goes smoothly for him (and you of course)..
Thanks Mike! I appreciate it. Hope you like your kit once it makes it over to you.
Angela,
Make sure and tell Simon that if he has any questions or problems to not hesitate to call me. Good luck on the install!!

Since my dealer is like 35 miles away at least, I am having them do everything cept the kitchen sink. Having them install new windshield etc so estimates are that I should have it back Friday. He is also working on my cam gear issue and figuring out surge problem on kickdowns so I will probably be last of the first bunch to report in.
Heh heh, and I like being last. "Ladies and Gentlemen, finally, last but NOT LEAST...."

I'm baaaccckkk! - Spoke to Chris @ C2Designs. Hopes to have the car dynoe'd today or tomorrow with all the goodies installed. (TB,Thermostat)
The baseline Dyno before the installation was 454 RWHp // 504 RWTq.
He mentioned the CFibre interior work has really taken some time which is
why he's a little behind schedule. I'll post the new Dyno #'s as soon as
he gets them.......

Vic winter is coming...snowmobile tuning time soon, so I will have some time to to prepare for Spring...
I have tought competition coming...cause my body who has Hamann M6 has bought SLR and want Me to arrange it for him to drop it at MKB Germany to make into 730 HP BEAST !!! ZO6 guy is increasing power to 610 HP Headers, exhausts Cams and something else...So I would need to get all VRUS performance parts to be able to keep up...
Did you do any more research on Qualife LSD ??? Is the problem solved ???

I am loving the Carbon Fibre look.
Just a thought, perhaps the web address in the logo somewhere.
Might cheapen it just a tiny bit, but always good to bang that web address in there when you can since most of your biz will come from the net.
Of course centering is off on this but you get the idea.

Victor,
evosport just gave me the green light to pick up my car. I will be picking up the car shortly.
The guys had to tweak a few parts to get things to fit properly. Other than that no check engine lights. Hats off to evosport for always coming thru on my sick beast. Those guys are truly amazing!
Thank you for everything Victor! Go smoke a cigar you have just given birth to a new monster. After I get some miles on it to adapt the ECU I will post some feedback. I am soooooo excited.

Victor,
One word...
I think I gained about 20rwhp with 90 miles on the ECU. I think your prediction of 35rwhp-40rwhp is right on. I can't wait to get this thing on the dyno next week. The throttle is much more responsive!
I also smoked a Viper on the way home. Good luck with to everyone else!

It really does liven up the car doesn't it... I am so glad you are happy and that everything went well.
If you have any details on what had to be tweaked please feel free to share it. I can make changes to the next batch if needed..
Pasya's car is being worked on today at Evosport so that will be Car #2 they are doing.
Other than that, please let me know if something didnt fit right.
Take care and enjoy the new found power!
I know the plates might interfere at the backside (down where I had the 45dg cuts made) on some cars depending on how close the hard lines run behind the TB..
Also, the drilling & tapping of the holes on the plate is done before the welder does his work, and during the welding process some weld may sneak up and into the bottom of the screw hole.. If that happens the screw wont go all the way down without removing the weld or adding another washer.
Those are the only things I can think of.
