Was there a need to program the ECU???
Nice setup but too rich for my blood.
Also, is the factory warranty void, and will K continue the factory warranty if it causes problems?

No need to reprogram the ECU just needs to adapt. But i'll be changing that ECU you too. Factory warranty is not void and yes kleemann does warranty their stuff. If there's any problem i just go to the boys at EVOsport in Huntington Beach.

Glad you are happy with the SC- its a beast compared to stock, but.... As my friend in Denmark says its the "soft old ladies version" (if you can imagine that) without camshafts, headers and limited slip.
Consider our cams and headers (available from your kind friends at EvoSport) before you go MKB. You will be astounded at the savings in cost, reduction in delivery time, and power increase.
If you are ever in Colorado, or want to come visit, I can arrange a drive in a car with the full package so you can see what is lurking, untapped, under your hood.

First of all its a little joke between James and I.
The last thing i wanna do is start a debate, no need for that. My personal opinion (as we all have) is that i would never let anything Kleemann touch my cars, thats all.

There have been so many questions as to the performance of the Kleemann cars, it will be good to put them to rest at last.
There are plenty of W211 E55 timeslips and of course James Cannons Renntech W210 to compare the car with.
So James, when are you taking the car to a drag strip?

Yes this is a totally complete beast compared to stock or actually not even close. The power is just simply astounding.
Just found out you guys started carrying the cams but didn't realize about the headers and limited slip. Can you pls send me more information on those cams and headers? What about high flow cats? Do you guys offer those too? Or is my stock AMG good enough?
This car with the full package you're talking about, pls tell me exactly what is has? And how does it compare power wise the a W210 kleemann E55k with just a blower in it? Is it a big difference? How much hp?
Thanks

So how exactly would you compare if i were stock and you had a blower?:Fair race right! Dood forget the race and just setup the meet so we can have a damn photoshoot! Oh yeah make sure it's around the glendale or pasadena area! lol

I'll probably take it to the strip after the blower settles in? Need to put at least a couple of hundred miles or so. What Kleemann said about the cams and headers caught my interest so i have to wait and see if that is something worth it to add depending on costs.

James, I am happy you have turned your beast into a monster but after all the money you have dropped into it cosmetically and mechanically dont you think you should get a cd player

I'm still waiting for the BenzoBoi vs JamE55 race. Do I have to fly out to LA personally and get you two bozos to race?!?
I better see a race, street tire to street tire - W210 E55K vs W211 E55K.
It's time to settle the score!!

Actually there's an event fee if you would like to see this race... and it's only $15G's and that $15G's would go towards more mods in my car and then we'll do that race. Wanna sign up for it?
