It takes a Monster to know Another....

I'd be really interested to see how an SL55 will be when modded. I think you will be pretty happy about it. The 65 is just ever so sweet, except for the monolite rims.

I'm pleased already and the project didn't even start yet!

Yeah, she will have one Hell of a Heart Rate with a Bad A$$ Attitude!

But Jangy, there is No "Middle" if you're under the 65. Sorry bro, I don't fly that way..

Keith's car will be very special...

Wait till you see some of the stuff that is going in there... Oh yeah.. and I suspect that on fly-by it will sound like a low-flying F18 fighter plane...

I believe it will!!

According to this site: http://robrobinette.com/et.htm

Using a car weight of 4,000lbs and a flywheel horsepower rating of 520hp gives the 1/4 ET of 12.119 (which is what you ran a best of so far)...

Changing the flywheel hp to: 544hp gives the 1/4 ET of 11.938

You can paypal the money for the kit to: sales@vrptuning.com

Please Advice about the ECU.... Do i have to send it to you?
And i`m interested in headers too.

Uh oh,wait a minute...I just saw in Slang500's sig that he has a full HMS exhaust&that would effect the horsepower #'s(i.e.-installing the freer flowing air fliters on a car that has a free flowing exhaust would give greater numbers then installing the filters on a stock exhaust set-up)
So Vadim,was the dyno testing done with or without the exhaust system?

I'm seriously considering this package but not quite certain if my dealership is mod friendly yet.The service manager has been pretty cool w me,but the jury's not out yet as to if she would scoff at any mods.And being that my car already has a substantial "service history" with them I'm not sure if I'd get thrown under the bus by her or not.

Anybody know a good installer in the tri-state area that they can personally recommend???

Thank you for letting use it for development. Powerchip is back tomorrow and we will resume further software development.

Spacibo, Engish will work.

ECU needs to be sent to us, we can turn it around the same day.

Headers are next on development schedule. I am expecting another 20RWHP from them and another 20RWHP from Software.

Damn, can't wait to see what kind of numbers the M156 will do with the Kenne Bell package.
We are receiving a CLK63 for forced induction development tomorrow. I will post details later.

I just saw in Slang500's sig that he has a full HMS exhaust&that would effect the horsepower #'s(i.e.-installing the freer flowing air fliters on a car that has a free flowing exhaust would give greater numbers then installing the filters on a stock exhaust set-up)

In my experience AMG exhaust flows very well and replacing it does not produce any gains. I confirmed that when we did baseline tests, CLS with exhaust made 419 RWHP, other stock 63s that I have dynoed made from 417RWHP to 421RWHP. If there were gains that I would of installed stock exhaust back on.

Do you prefer to do the dyno that way including the shifts and showing MPH instead of a single gear pull with RPM on the x axis?

I like to use dyno pulls that correspond to actual driving. I can do 2K-7K pull, but one will never be at 2K at WOT, automatic will downshift into lower gear.

Good point. I was just curious if the extra time running through the gears impacts the ultimate numbers by building up heat before hitting 4th? Also I guess it's nice to see the RPMs where peak power is made and where it starts to fall off in case you want to map out optimal shift points for manual mode

Quick question Vadim,

Is there a noticeable gain of your HiFlow air filters over our stock filters W/O the chracoals? The testing was done w/ charcoals and stock vs your Hiflows w/o charcoals. The comparison of your air filter vs stock was not done. Maybe I'm misreading the info. Please let me know. Thanks.

If I'm not mistaken, I think you were one of the people that suggested removing the charcoals gave 10-15 hp gains? Others had not noticed any dyno changes.

Can anyone answer my question above about the numbers for these filters vs the stocks in a head to head comparison? Vadim, please feel free to chime in. I am dying to know the difference. Any dynos to show the differences?
