The modding elves have delivered some parts...
When I went to C2 Designs to drop off my payment for the VRP CF airbox/tubing/engine cover...look at what was waiting for me:
Kleeman K2 parts (pulley wheel and headers)
Kleeman LSD
Upgraded I/C pump
VRP 80mm throttle body
VRP Extreme Belt Wrap
Evosport rotors
Renntech toe-link kit
PIAA upgraded white bulbs (no pics)
AMG flat hood emblem (no pics)
Here is the photo album link on Snapfish:

I'm still waiting for arrival:
CCW SP18 19" (tomorrow!!!!)
160 degree thermometer
VRP CF airbox/tubing/engine cover
Carlsson CF spoiler lip
Kleeman lowering module
Goodridge Stainless Steel brake lines
Porterfield brake pads
Sprintbooster AMG version (paypal loves me)
I'll post pics of these pre-install and as many post install pics as I can...I'll also post pre-install baseline dyno, too.
After all that is done...next level:
Upgraded/additional heat exchangers and reservoir
Upgraded clutch pack (Renntech?)
Kleeman camshafts
I can not wait for all these parts to be put on and I have to thank this board and it's members for all your informative threads and feedback via PM's. I'll let you guys know how all the parts are coming together.

Yup...August 27 is the pre-install dyno date and I told Chris to take his time. He said we are looking at around 3 weeks for install (hardware and ECU upgrade) and tweaking. He can have it as long as wants to get the job done right...he was highly recommended so my trust level is pretty high.
The cam/heat exchanger/tranny upgrades will be in the next round of modding.
After C2 is done, they are going to hand it off to the audio/visual portion of the modding menu...that is a whole other thread
!
I'll post pics of that install, too.

Oh one last thing (keep it between us guys though)
I just think Chris is the stuff, but something seems to happen everytime someone goes to his place. (I am saying this smiling and in a light tone) See if you get the, "Honestly, this is the highest hp E55 I have had here on the dyno."
Just kinda a Chris trademark line. When he says it, just know that we all are winkin at ya.

When you get all your Mods done, Bring it Down To Bradenton Motorsports Park for some Test and Tune action!! Maybe we can get a few of us out there.. Some of the guys from Mercedes of Sarasota go out every so often.. Lets set something up!

AMG exhaust mods...
Just confirmed that Chris @ C2 Design will be removing primary cats. I'll see how that works out before we go forward with racing cats and x-piping.
