It is a clk55 AMG. It comes from the factory with 5.5, why would I put a 4.3 in it?

In Germany the "old" c208 with V8 mostly was CLK430, I did not remember there was already clk55 AMG. I remembered more the c209 CLK55 as AMG car.

Put the keyboard down and slowly walk away. Hey, we all make mistakes.

Last pull I ever did was prob over a year ago on the mustang dyno. Then Tq converter blew out. Had the transmission and the tq converter pulled out and had Protorque did the tq converter and had SHR did the transmission. I have been curious to take it back on the Dyno.

All I know after you do stuff beyond the intake/exhaust/tune, prepare to have the tq converter blown out. I'll prob get it done sooner or later. I finally got my VVK updated V12 sway bar about a few weeks ago so it will be in the shop sooner or later.

My next step would be the billet turbos... but I cant decide which company I'm gone let it do. I don't know is the Speedriven anymore at the market.
Wrote an e-mail to Marchin two months ago and he answer few times but then after a while nothing anymore. We had a deal .... . He told me his dad was bad and at hospital... but who nows what the situation is now.... hope nothing bad.

Don't waste your time with a billet turbo wheel. Go all out and get new turbo manifolds fabbed and new turbis. Even if you get new turbo wheels, the manifolds are very restrictive.

I want so much OEM look as possible.... I must think a lot about this before I decide what is the best solution. Wasn't it so that the GT35 was too big and manifold to small with them?

A billet wheel is not going to solve your back pressure issue. Remember those graphs you posted on facebook showing manifold pressure vs. back pressure? Billet wheels only going to make that problem worse.
