Hey Jim - Got a Kleeman K4 E55 ready and waiting for you

Hey Jim,

Glad to see that you have your car back in town.

My buddies got his 05 K4 E55 that's just itchin.. He think's it's pretty bad.. He kills everything he races against.. That's why my car is at VRP right now, because of his E55.

Corner of South Temple and State, any time.. Just let me know..

Bring the video camera, or let me know and I'll bring mine. Then we can post the vid for everyone.

You are getting me excited for my car... It should be done by Memorial day.. I can hardly wait.

I'd love to see such a race..... you guys should definitely set it up maybe even at the next track meet. That would be one colossal event: two super-beasts going head to head

Jim, so disconnecting the battery does not erase the powerchip ECU settings?

Or we could all head out to RMR and have a mini AMG get together on a prepped track with lights. Maybe on a test and tune night(wednesdays)

Major mods.

Bolt on the drag radials and take it to the track.

We need time slips.

20+ to list......
Congradulations man, I'm sure you will learn how to launch your car in no time with some practice runs. My K4 is plenty fast and I can only imagine how yours is, hope I will see another thread by you titled "Killed a Reventon" soon.

570rwhp, 606rwtq uncorrected on a dynojet.

The next package below the VR700 (VR675) dyno'd 550rwhp, 560rwtq on the same dyno.

Once Jim has a chance to drive the car a bit and gets used to it he will be going to the track for some real testing.

None specific..
I'm considering getting an E55 Wagon and doing this but i'll be doing full supersprint exhaust/headers/midpipe the only section of exhaust that wont be supersprint is eisenmann mufflers. I'm thinking of making it into ultimate sleeper, How much will this package cost with EVERYTHING except the exhaust bits and do you do supercharger porting? I'll also be getting brembo's on all 4's and BBS LM-S with carlsson lowering module/steering wheel and front lip.
If possible i really wanna break that 600rwhp mark..LOL make the cobra's get pissed..

Consider an E63 for better handling...I'm not being a smartass...just realistic.

Vic - Can you post the dyno graph with AFR's so that we can see how lean or rich the tune is?
