New to the MBZ Performance

Hey Gents,

I am pretty new to the Mercedes performance world and I had a couple of q's about what was the best performance mods for their dollar value. I drive a 94 C220 and was wondering what would be the best performance mod besides selling it..LOL.. Let me know what you guys think and what results you have seen.

Thanks,
Joe

Looks like you answered your own question. Those three things are about all you can do. You next step would just be a turbo or something.

Slo-t,

Thanks for your reply, I have had the plesureable experience of tunning hondas and vw's but never a benz. I can swap a JDM motor with no prob, but these MBZ's are a bit tricky. I really don't know much about who the leader is in benz performance parts.

Thanks,
Joe
