Here's a link to there website for there contact info

Very nice! yeah i will be using a ProCharger head unit it is a better product hands down but if i can talk to them about tuning man it is so on!

I was at HOP and it looks like the tuning for air/fuel is done with a FMU? i ran a FMU on my Vette for the longest time but the only problem is you cant pull timing if needed but then again should need to pull to much timing on 6psi

And the kit is non-intercooled so it is very interesting.

Thanks. It is just a generic tune by mail type deal from Kleemann. Tuning for benzes is pretty hard to find.

Exactly, the kit is the easy part... fueling/tuning .... not so much

lol i hear you, but i was very surprised these guys are using the FMU to tune. That being said with a good fuel and timing only at 24 degrees you can run safely around 6-7psi.

This is the best post I have seen. I have been searching everywhere for a decent way to get more horsepower. STS Turbo's, HPS, etc... Now I got somewhere else to look. Great post!
