Well....I said hope 1. Second, down pipes, intake, intercooler, exhaust, blow offs, water meth, etc. I'm "hoping" . No stranger to HP here. I think this platform will help also....not the underhanded comments

Lol get used to the comments around here - everyone is at each others throat for some reason. You shouldn't have any issue hitting that power level relatively easily - I know with JB4, intakes, and 30% E85 it's expected to make ~440whp. Adding WMI, FMIC, and downpipes will easily get you 30whp (probably more than that...)

That makes a lot more sense. I thought you meant just intake and Lap3.

Can these cars fuel systems use e85? I always thought it eats through stuff if not vitron gaskets stuff...saying this wrong but you'll understand...

I understand what you're saying but I think most newer vehicles can handle it without issue, given that most gas nowadays is 10% ethanol anyway. I remember cars a decade ago having issues with rubber fuel lines but I'm not sure if this is still an issue honestly.

Edit: I wouldn't run straight e85, but 30% e85 has not given anyone issues yet to my knowledge

How about water/methanol instead? That would help when the boost is higher....just thinking here
 
All the mods and upgrades for your Stinger you could ever ask for. CLICK HERE!
From interior to exterior to high performance - everything you need for your Stinger awaits you...
Wow, you are making some serious changes before you have broken that car in. I need to take this car for a good drive. I love the tech in it and how it looks and figured it would be a good car to get. I love the Stinger but it can be a challenge getting in as as I age, I think the K900 would make for a good luxury car if they can give it a Jekyl and Hyde type personality with the Normal and Sport, sort of like the did with that V10 M5.

I think I'm going with WMI this year on my car as well. If nothing else, it will keep my valves nice and clean!

Haha. It's super luxury....the 22 way adjustable drivers seat makes love to your back!!!
 
Any plans on changing the suspension? BTW, I checked out the K900 forum a few weeks back and it was devoid of info on the 2019 K900. Seems like no one there had gotten one yet. You on that forum?
 
There must be so few new 2019 K900 owners, they don't sell very many per month hell in December 2018 they sold 55 TOTAL and for the year 354 sold. You could be the fastest K900 in the country with just a hand full of easy mods lol. Congrats and enjoy the 3.3TTv6 in the K900 it can easily out preform the optional 5.0 V8 with some mods.

They dont even offer the V8 now :) I had a 2015 k900 with the V8. It was pretty sweet.
 
He might be thinking of the old version, the new for 2019 K900 does not offer a V8 in the US but in Korea (and probably other places where they sell well), you can get a 3.8 V6, 3.3T V6 and a 5.0 V8. If they sell a lot more here, they could bring more choices to us if there is a demand. I fell that they should have done a performance version, maybe not a full AMG type but something sporty to go along with the Stinger to compliment the standard version.

I had the older version but traded it back after a year....it had a shake that we could not figure out. replaced 3 rims, put on michelins tires, countless times in the shop, US rep came and spent 4 days with the car to no avail ...

However....that was the most comfortable car I've ever driven. I've driven almost everything. So....I'm hoping that this newer version will be even better. The main reason I bought this one over the stinger was the back seat room and the comfort and of course......THE 3.3L TT!!! Thats why I'm on this forum....I want more HP :) Thanks for all your comments
Brent
