There will be before and after Dyno runs. Keep in mind the before will have aftermarket Exhaust system and E85 fuel.

Nice bunch of cars! I'm surprised you don't daily drive the Merc and keep the Elise and FR-S for weekends/track duty. Oh, it's a CLS not a C... maybe that's why.

CLS is leased... already way over on mileage lol. I got the FR-S for the DD but decided to go all out on the mods... Of course I'm keeping it tasteful.

FR-S has been handed off to Prime Motoring for the P&L Turbo Kit installation. I have decided to go with the Lux-Motion Wide Body Kit and placing a payment for it. I should be getting that kit in March. Now to choose wheels! Expect pictures and post update December 15th!!

Quick Update. Prime Motoring has completed the Stock dyno runs on my FR-S. Running E85, AP Headers, Cat Back and LW pulley. Seems like blah - can't wait for the Turbo results!
