2005 Renntech C class
Probably shift-points?

I'm sure Dynocomp can help you with that question =)

on the light end- i would say a valve body swap or tweak
on the more involved end- more/stronger clutches, hardneded gears- and general beefy rebuild.

those are the two main options in the chevy camp i came from. possibly a stall converter also- but that's normally for drag racing applications. the 4k stall that was on my s10 was a little much for constant street driving.

No. you can tune the electronics. AMG actually made programming for this.

He's talking about TCU tuning - like what is being done on 55K and 63 AMG cars... read what MHP is doing over in the w211 AMG and w204 AMG forums - pretty impressive stuff

I dont know it its TCU tuning. but it very well could be. on Renntech's site it say transmission upgrade and it cost $2500 ouch. Yeah I've been reading MHP's stuff of there. they seem to be doing some cool stuff.
