Assuming pricing isn't insane on these, I may jump in and could likely work with Jerry at EC ( I'm in Houston) to get a tune created for them.... this and a few other tweaks that look possible are having me reconsider the ESS charger....given the complex fueling issues of incorpating it along with my E85 setup....
I'd be happy with 550 rwhp NA if it was doable...

you can run the ess kit and run e40e but you need to also run meth injection to take the strain off the stock fuel system. That way you don’t need to hack up the fuel system. 8psi isn’t that much... the stage 2 weistec does that. But the ess Kit is way more efficient with the gen 3 rotor design. I’d get a custom pulley made and run 10-11 lbs

Nope. In fact the Stage 3 C63 that he was putting cams in, one of the 4 stock factory cams he pulled out had blocked oil holes.

They were new "Mercedes" camshafts fitted during the rebuild at around 120K.
He said those new camshafts had 40K on them since the rebuild.
He was surprised that the bearing finish and caps had not chewed out with no oil hole
Rebuild was around 120K now on 160+K.

Ok even if they were new, do you think Mercedes updated the manufacturing to now include oil holes that aren’t drilled thru properly? That’s even worse than just having them not correct from the beginning and just not updating them

It’s not that bad...at $5000. 6 is kinda silly... but a custom billet cam for an ls engine is like $800.... the m156 needs 4 so even if you were getting them at ls cost would be $3200... add in the r and d to develope the design on the cam. If it is well developed and they make power that is... otherwise yeah its a waste.
