365 days of ownership- 124whp and 146wtq later..
So yesterday marked 1 year of ownership of my CLS 55. It was also the day I completed my dyno tune session with Jerry and Jake of EC in an attempt to finalize my quest for power. In the last year of ownership I have added in order :
PLM Heat Exchanger and CM 30
PLM Headers
2nd cat delete and Res replacement
ASP 185 mm
EC 550 Injectors
TTM 82mm TB Kit
Carbonio Airbox
Carbonio Python Tubes
And of Course, Jerry's magic tuning..
Net result of all this work:
530whp
599wtq
This was on a Mustang Dyno that had extra resistance added to assist with the wheel spin problem we were having when stabbing the throttle for the pull. We actually had to roll into it, so torque number probably would have been higher. This was also a number we got after about 10 pulls. Would definately been higher with a straight cold car. AF is tuned perfectly getting no higher than 11.5 and no lower than 10.8. This car is a MONSTER.
This pretty much marks the end of my power modifications. I will probably do the Killer Chiller Kit when it comes out, and possibly a Torque Converter. I have typically moved between cars with some frequency, but I find myself with no desire to ever sell this car. It's stunningly beautiful, full of class, and could possibly run a 10 second 1/4 if everything comes together in the spring. What more could you want in a car?
Thanks to the forum members from whom I have learned from, and vendors who have helped make this possible, especially Jerry and Jake at EC who helped maximize my car's potential.
Happy Driving!

I love the styling of the CLS, however due to the fact I have children.... it was not an option. Nyce numbers though. You summed it up best, Fast in Class.
