You know my cars are all test mules for Weistec....testing out a new pulley with higher boost and race gas tune. I am sure it is something they might offer to the masses down the road once I prove the reliability of it. You guys know I like to push the envelope and i'm not worried about breaking things, if I break it I just build it back bigger and stronger. So far no problems with it....except 120mph wheelspin

I am running 305 Pilot Cups which actually measure 320mm and I can smoke those with no problems whatsoever.

Well that sux a$$. Whats the point of all that power if you have nothing but problems putting it down? Ah the joys of right foot throttle modulation... throw in a supercharger and then you really have no idea when EXACTLY the power will kick in, lol.

Been there, done that too... happy with my stock C63. Fast enough mate

I gave in pretty much right away, started with a tune then row boxes with filters and finished with headers/cat less x-pipe - for me the car is now perfect the extra power is just enough and the sound is ridiculous

It's hard to fight the urge to tinker with it, haha. I've had this particular C63 for 2 months now, and am already ~$10-12k into it in mods. Just go for it!

I'm pissed I didn't get the p31 now I figured it was a waste since I got a better diff, tune, etc but I hope the regular non sls internals could hold that 790 whp. Didn't you run the clk at over 700 whp on non sls internals for a while and had no issues?

Doubtful Weistec will release the full 120 extra hp to the public becuase they want to ensure reliabilty and 790whp is testing the limits of not only engine and trans but rear dif stock axles and other parts. They have sold hundreds of M156 blowers over the past couple years with no major problems or complaints, the last thing they want to do is put a product out there that is not tested, proven or reliable. If I blow up my motor I am not going to come on here and flame them, I want to push the envelope and understand the risks involved in doing to if something breaks it breaks, we build it up bigger and stronger and go out and try to break that one. In 2008 I had the most powerful M156 on the planet and it made 511whp NA and 600whp on a 100shot of nitrous now my CLK makes nearly double that whp with no nitrous, that's progress and Weistec is 100% to credit for it. I would not trust anyone else with my cars thats why I chose to ship them 2000 miles away to have work done on them.

It's actually a very simple accounting and business principle.

A partial explanation at best. What I refer to as the "euro tax" i.e. highly marked up parts for Benz's and BMW's is real.

NT01's are way better. Sounds like his car's a more in the wrinkle slick power range.
