I could not find anything about that gearbox mods on their website. Are these mods offered to the crowd in general, or are these one-off?

I really like their approach, not only the power and torque is upped but also they have worked on the gearbox to make this work together, hopefully trouble free!

My respect to you.
That is very well said, cordial and professional.
I love both cars, I think you, and jcart have a wonder full cars.
There is no need to get in to a pissing match.
We all benefit from guys modifying there cars in different ways.

Thanks everyone for the great responds this makes it worth a while and as soon as she is ready to rip I will defenatily share some footage and impression of the drivability of the car. I really give the guys at GAD thumbs up on this, its just unheard off that an after market tuner company in rebuilding a RWD car and making it an AWD just pure talent and dedication

Have you had the chance to drive your CLK in a whole mile event or from 200-300 KM/H? The results would be very interesting.
Talked with Mo's Tuner GAD, and the BIG-Turbos from his Bullit with approx.900 HP at the crank are far away from being maxed out at the moment. There is still a lot on the table, if there is a real need to make it a 1000HP car.
Without doubt, Mo's car has it also in it in my opinion.
Bad *** cars...

Do you know whether there has been a need to upgrade the cooling and fueling system components of the M157 engine in your car?
I know that Weistec uses an ice-box to achieve 850HP in their E63, whereas AMG does not mention any cooling updates in their 850HP E63. Neither tuner mentions updates to the fueling system.

All M157 internals are forged but only M156's with the P31 package come with forged internals. All M159's have forged internals.

yes the cooling has been revised for this car, a water tank is an option people do i am not a fan of it so i dont use this option i try to use practical cooling options like bigger radiators.
thats possible but when i had the tour at the AMG facility i am sure i have asked about the connecting rods and they have confirmed that they only use forged for there internals that includs M156 and yes the M159 have stonger internals and differnt pistons

Here is a link of the first turbo upgrade done to the M157 engine by GAD to my car, as you can see on one of the pictures I have shared that the turbos are modified and are fitted with dual ball bearing housing it's clear to me who is a head in this game I have had my turbo upgraded since April 2012 and they are running fine
