i'm sure its on temporarily for now to get it dialed in. But he'll probably go back to the air intake through the parking lights like before. Good to see that its close to getting dialed in.

After some tuning it turns out the MAF got maxed out. Car is running 10psi of boost. Thanks to Weistec and SRT for tuning and custom fabbing up the MAF/intake on the fly. More tuning tomorrow

Yea they put in a lot of time. Still have some more tuning to do. Can't wait to see the final product!
It's not temporary and the old intake setup wont work with the Weistec

Sorry, was pretty hectic today. Can' wait to get everything finalized and make some passes. Hopefully tomorrow will be last day of tuning!
Thanks. That was at 6 degrees of timing and revving to only 5800rpm and running rich. Car made good power under the circumstances and 10psi.

I caught that & it still sounds good... took three days (xtra day because we were breaking stuff) to get mine dialed in to where everyone was happy & I am running stock blower so be patient bro y'all will get it right & it will be badass

I don't have it back from EC yet but it is in transit now... they told me two things about it... Be careful because she will get out from under you pretty easily & the traction control thinks it is supposed to kick in all the time 
I can't freaking wait for her to come home!

Just got home. I want to thank Steve and Mike for flying out and trying hard to tune the car. They found a vacuum leak at an injector today. You can't use Mercedes o-rings with the Weistec blower apparently. So after scrambling to fix that we got back to tuning. Unfortunately, they didn't have enough time to get the car tuned right.

Went down to meet-up with all of those dudes...great group! I appreciated chatting with the mad scientists who "work behind the curtain" to make these evil beasts.
Steve was working feverishly on Amad's car. SO, Mike and I chatted it-up about my car and I learned some stuff along the way. As to not steal Amad's thread, I'm updating my own Weistec post later today or tomorrow. I've made some significant advancements since the last posting.
Good luck Amad! Yes, your car sounds downright bad-a$$. Mine sounds Saturn-like in comparison.

Does that mean you have to go elsewhere for a tune like have Jerry from Eurocharged do it, or are they going to remote tune from their office with you needing to keep renting a dyno?

I'll leave the details to Blackbenzz, but I can tell you that when I was there, they were working diligently on it, but had some issues not related to tuning. (like the ramp leading into the garage at such a steep angle that the cars bottom-out, resulting in a ruptured trunk-tank water line, getting booted off the dyno for other appts., etc.)! 
My best guess is that it's simply a time/R&D issue: it's not fun to be fabricating parts, etc. during a tuning session. The wheel was not invented in a weekend. Now, it's precarious--blackbenzz with a car not running and Weistec with a frustration-matter. However, I can tell you from having met all parties involved, they are cool dudes, sharing a similar passion with gentleman-like demeanors.
I'm hoping for the best for all of them!

Looks like Steve from Weistec has helped and worked graciously on your CLK. Usually you have to use parts that go along with the products that have been made ie: Injector O-rings. Can't use o-rings from a Toyota or Honda..... Damn crazy to hear that Steve flew out there to tune your car. How much did they charge you to do a custom Dyno Tuning?
