2006 CLS55 AMG

Want more HP!

I would like to add 20-50hp to my 2006 CLS55 AMG. Is there any to get a listing of different mods starting from low end (in terms of cost and HP) to high end?

u can do a pulley and a flash, or just slap in an 80mm throttlebody.

We saw a 34RWHP increase on a bone-stock SL55 with our custom software. $799

Pulley/tune/Heat Exchanger/pump - You should see closer to 60-80 RWHP for about $2500

i would definitely go with that pulley/tune/HE/pump combo mentioned above.
its a great start to modding and you will be happy with the gains.

im also going to be doing those cooling upgrades on mine.
hopefully ill have that sorted out and it will be even easier for u to get the right size to fit in your cls.

I'd like to get this sw for my cls 55. Should I expect the same results or less/better? I don't have any mods currently.

i guess u should expect those results. ive heard nothing but good things about LET and their tuning. u should do a baseline dyno run while you are stock so that u can see your actual gains after u mod.

While the 34RWHP was a couple higher than usual, it's not outside of the norm.

As jikjak mentioned, it is recommended to do a pre- and post-tune dyno to verify your results. If you do custom tuning, this is included.

Please feel free to PM me with any questions.

Any idea what the approxmate price for these mods? Also, what would be the easiest way to determine what local shop might be capable of this type of setup? I suppose I could ask the local Mercedes shop for a reference.
