I believe they're supposed to help the car breathe better in the upper rpm - allegedly worth 10-15 hp, IIRC. AFAIK, they're no longer available new from Kleemann... but you might be able to dig up a used set?

PTE might be the only option for C32 cams (in the near future) - not a bad thing, as his M113K cams are/were pretty well regarded, I think. Not sure what his M112K cam specs are going to be - it'd be interesting to know more about them and the est. price point.

Eurocharged Performance ML63 and TT lambo
personally found no benifit in the cams and it seemed like the little gain is not worth the $

I read somewhere that these camshafts made the idle feel real "lumpy". That's one of the reasons I didn't buy them when I had the chance. Just my $.02.

As hooley recently confirmed and I have mentioned ... very minimal gain on Cams ; The only thing to be honest I notice is the sound (sounds better imo) - Then again these were on C55's ...not C32's

To be fair, hooleyboy went from MB/AMG C55 cams to MB/AMG E55K cams - not a tuner alternative like Kleemann, Renntech, et. al.
