well - yes, I understand that
I guess it's just re-using parts -but if one were to redesign a top/mounted cooler - wouldn't it make more sense to somehow put the intake in the front of the engine like an LSX intake? I guess the S/C makes it difficult due to the design...

CL65
This blog better be updated with some new cl65 records. Don't make me squeeze a big shot on my car and take the record.....oh wait, that's been done already.....Marko, the acceleration video was insane!!! 50-130 in about 8 sec. Can't imagine how hard it pulls to 200.
BTW, 2004 called they want their "Best House of" cd back.............j/k

A quick update. Another CLS55 on the list for the whipple kit came in for some MBH headers with MBH Midpipes. Truly excellent build quality on the headers, real works of art. AMAZING sounding. Will get a video up soon...
We ceramic coated them black per customer specifications and installed them.

Off topic but what are you planning with the m119 engine in that picture? I have been playing with the idea of a tt one of those for years. I almost pulled the trigger this year but ended up going after cdi diesel instead.
