DESIGNO CLS 63 AMG 2012
thank you, yes sure - I installed a new clutch and a reinforced one which is how I am able to push 1380 nm of torque now (1018 ft/lb).

But to tell you the trutz - was it worth it compared to tune only?

No it was not the costs and stress for that extra 100 hp is out of proportion

so if you can - better "resist what I could not" lol

hahah i know this from experience as well. You mod the car and you are very happy with the results for relatively a good price...but then you want more...untill issues happen and you are worse off than you were, or not completely happy.

One must learn when to say ok enough...but the itch just keeps saying...do more...just this...ow why not that ..then

Thanks for sharing, you help us know when to say enough...which is hard
