Have you ever been sitting at a stoplight, admiring the gentle purr  
emanating from your 5.5 Liter V8 Kompressor engine equipped with a  
Kleemann Stage K3 tuning program, when you thought to yourself:  "610  
horsepower is nice, but I wonder if there's any way I could squeeze a  
little extra brawn out of my already staggering powerplant?"

extraordinaire Kleemann has again upped the ante, now offering  
customers the option of a 640 horsepower Stage K4 tuning package.

upgrade, Super Sport camshafts, Kleemann tubular headers and a high  
flow exhaust system, the Stage K4 kit completes your tuning fantasy  
by also including a modified inlet house and throttle body.

The result is an increase of in horsepower from 610 to 640 hp, an  
increase in torque from 835 Nm to 900 Nm, and an increase in Torque  
lb-ft from 618 to 731.  Beautiful.
