So guy's, what's the final verdict on my baby's 'before' dyno results?
Adam informs me that he's half-way done with the pulley install. They'll be finished tonight, then dyno tomorrow for the 'after' numbers. Then they'll drive it for a while to get the ECU to set itself properly and she'll be back with me tomorrow night.

Here in Jordan on Business, eagerly awaiting the dyno results after the installation - dont keep me waiting,
And hi to all my buddies in S. FL. So far have not seen a single 55k of any sorts in Amman, but have seen several new S-class and two CLS500's. Here in Jordan anything over 3L is a BIG engine!!!! Not like Dubai.

Here you go guys.
Since this is a 'hot run', the rwhp was 441 and the torque was 490. I am still awaiting DSR to give me the charts. Next week, Kronen will have skeeter's car again to be dynoed. This time it will be a cold run. Skeeter will provide you guys with greater depth on how the mods affect his car.

Just got home, exhausted from a LOOOONG day and week.
Car feels amazing. But of course, it felt amazing before, and I've been riding around in a 'mortal's' car for the last few days. Perhaps my e55ometer is a bit off.
But all disclaimers aside, this thing is a freaking NIGHTMARE. Torque till the cow's come home, right off idle. Seems like EPS kicks in way more often than before
Seriously, the car just pulls like crazy. Unparalleled power, feels FAR more responsive than before. Hard to believe the difference is as minimal as the dyno shows, but the seat-of-the pants test is more than satisfied. Crazy.
More to come,

Love it. One strange thing, though... Ever since I got it back, the passenger seatbelt light' has been on, along with the awful beep. Any idea how this is connected? Happened from the moment I drove it from Kronen till now, with a half-dozen stops in between. Nothing on or around the front seat... Clipping the seatbelt solves it, but not a great solution...
Thanks!
