To anyone considering engine mods

I spent a lot of time researching and debating what, if anything, I wanted to do to my CLS55. I ended up going with a Eurocharged 172mm pulley and ecu tune. I also fabricated a secondary intercooler radiator that I put in series with the stock unit and replaced my broken Bosch IC pump with a Johnson IC30.
The car is just so crazy fast that I can't believe it, even in 95 degree super humid weather the car is unstoppable. Bang for the buck you just can't beat this set-up. I'm on the prowl for a 911turbo to race.....
