Did not see any mention about any transmission mods.
Such torque will bust the stock tranny very quickly.

Those are just astonishing numbers.
Makes the tuning for M156 engines seem a total joke...
...lucky we have superchargergs for those i guess!

Thank you!
No I did not disable anything.. I'm not really sure what I did actually
but, you know when you unlock your car, all of the LEDs will turn on and after several seconds, i think the lower LED will turn off by itself..

800hp in a car made for 550; seems like you can start counting the time before you have some kind of engine or transmission failure. Any opinions from members who are running in the 700+ hp club?

I have been very busy and traveling in the last few weeks. BTW that LED you can turn it on with the light switch, instead of having it on auto you can pop it once either to the right or left, that will give you the LED effect you have in your signature full time while driving

I have been running this kit from GAD for the last 35,000KM and haven't ran into any failure, the M157 is a solid engine, and the tranny is keeping up nicely as well no problems!

I haven't done anything to my tranny, the tranny of the CLS63 is good for the power.

Glad to hear that brother. That is a better record than my non-800HP, non-tuned CLS 550 LOL
