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.

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.
