Accuracy of Kleeman power claims?
Just curious to know how realistic the hp/tq gains are with Kleeman tuning products? Are they typically optimistic with their numbers? Conservative...right on? They have a tuning program for the C63 now including headers and ecu bumping power to 543hp and 495tq according to the dyno graph, and wanted to know if there would be any reason to be skeptical?

many people criticize kleemann for quoting/measuring crank hp gains but when that's the only critique people can come up with, that says something! don't hesitate doing business with them, especially when it comes to ecu tuning.

I have a Kleemann S/C & ECU which make about 450 bhp (381whp) they advertis on there website the stage 2 make about 510 bhp. They short me about 60hp ![crazy](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/crazy.gif)
also, they have to retune my ECU twice to get that number, 1st time it only make about 50whp and my transmission cut out once it hit redline.
btw, the 381whp is with the resonator removed and X-pipe installed. Baseline was 302hp everything is stock. So you ask if the number is what Kleemann claim..what do you think?

I have yet to see a tuners claims be fulfilled in real life. Having said that, Cory at Kleemann is very honest and will tell you what numbers to expect. I'm happy with my Kleemann stuff and will buy from them again in the future. They will also be doing a custom ECU tune for me once I'm done with my mods

why not?
I would send a pm and ask what his car has that potentially is different that could unlock even more HP. Since they use the same supercharger and also very similar engines they could probably help each other. Perhaps ahmad could give Matt some tips ... shrug who knows?
To be honest I don't understand your post at all. Does anyone think I'm looking down at Ahmad's car or something?

dynos and 1/4 mile NUMBERS are both relative. I accept the drag race comment, ONLY if the cars ran side by side. I do not believe in adding in one's best run ever or whatever just because the variables out-weight the mods.
