I to was faced with this decision. I chose Kleeman for several reasons:

1. Kleeman customer service
2. MBWorld testimonials
3. Tuner recommendations who sell both product lines
4. Dyno sheets
5. More of a "bolt on" application

Result:

SL65 AMG
I must say I was torn between renntech and kleemann and in the end went with the k2 from kleemann. I am very happy with the set up and the power was more then I expected. On a fresh ecu the car gained 92hp and 118lbft and I was told by kleemann to expect around another 10hp and lbft once I get some miles on it. I have nothing bad to say about renntech but as far as hp per $$ kleemann was a steal. I know in a car this costly price shouldnt be an issue but I will save a buck where I can. I also couldnt find any one that had an e55 with the renntech ecu,pulley and headers to talk to. The big thing I see is kleemann likes the lsd and swears by it and renntech swears by the cf airbox? Since amg has the lsd option I am thinking kleemann is on to something. Good luck and keep us posted.

Who knows of a reputable tuner/installer for Kleemann mods in SoCal... more specifically in LA or OC? And roughly, how much for K2 installed? Thanx!
