K2 being "tweaked" - 457RWHp and climbing
Getting my additional mods done by C2Designs in Tampa.
They dynoed my present K2 @ 457 RWHp (uncorrected) and it was rich up top. They're having Kleemann take some fuel out and expecting in the neighborhood of 490/500 RWHp.
Chris put on the EVO rotors and CCW wheels last week and said that it's
breaking loose my 295/30/19's in 2nd gear
while rolling in 95 degree heat!!
It sounds like I'm going to have an animal on my hands when I get it back....
Looks like the K2 is everything advertised...I'll post pics when I get the car back next week.
This is what my wife will be doing to me when I'm driving with her as a passenger

My baseline dyno was 410rwhp and 441 rwtq
At present it is 457rwhp and 519rwtq and is rich up top. (Dyno uncorrected @ 95 degrees)
BTW-the post k2 dyno was done W/O the lightweight wheels and rotors

Ken - that will be awesome if they can tweak it up over 500rwhp just on K2.

Chris @ C2Designs wanted to tweak the set-up a little bit as he is an
ex-Ferrarri mechanic and is a stickler for having everything right!
He has openly stated that when driving my particular - "E" - that it is one of the stronger ones they have experienced
Even 480/560
will be quite the machine!! 
Kudos f/K2BTW - I'm predicting 485ish and 540ish......Any other predictions out there??

Strong or not, K2 just cant make enough airflow to hit 500rwhp. You need the TB and more airflow mods to break the 500rwhp mark.BTW, I was being generous when I said 480rwhp, 560rwtq.
With the stock exhaust and primary cats removed 480rwhp should be attainable given the proper tune. 560rwtq with those big headers will be tough.. I would say 550rwtq will be more than likely on the high side.
All in all, it will be one heck of a nice car you will end up with.
Get Cory to add the 80mm TB and you will probably be at or break the 500rwhp barrier.
Good luck and CONGRATS!

"Get Cory to add the 80mm TB and you will probably be at or break the 500rwhp barrier."
Do we have a definite GOOD working 80mm TB yet?? With perf #'s??
I'm thinking about Kleemann's but I believe their's is only a 76 mm??
Where do you sit with your project on this
