SPEEDRIVEN | 750/800 PKG for 600 series MB
SPEEDRIVEN is proud to present this new, 750 + hp (91 Octane) tuning program for 600-series V12 Mercedes-Benz (2003 +). This is a powerful, responsive series of bolt-on performance upgrades that improves horsepower and torque without sacrificing drivability and smoothness. In “comfort” mode, the V12 is whisper quiet and nearly invisible – just like stock. In “sport” or the new Speedriven-added “manual” mode, the Mercedes powertrain takes on a more muscular personality, with the big, biturbo V12 charging towards redline.
Massaging the Mercedes-Benz biturbo V12 to more than 750 hp and over 900 lb-ft of torque is just the start, however. For drivers who have access to 93 or 94 octane pump gas, Speedriven bumps the 600-series cars to 800 hp and over 940 lb-ft of tide-altering torque.
The Speedriven package fitted to the W215-chassis Mercedes CL600 shown here features a set of billet-wheel turbochargers, a powder-coated set of Speedriven’s top-mounted water-to-air intercoolers, “scorpion” air intakes, K&N cone filters, and Speedriven’s ECU software to manage the extra air density and extra boost. The car also features Speedriven’s transmission controller upgrades, allowing the car to handle the extra torque and giving the 600 series Mercedes cars a more “true” manual mode to hold gears more aggressively while delivering quicker, firmer shifts in “sport” mode (comfort mode retains the 600′s usual silkiness).
This Speedriven tuning package includes:
- SPEEDRIVEN BILLET-WHEEL TURBO UPGRADES
- SPEEDRIVEN TOP-MOUNTED INTERCOOLERS
- SPEEDRIVEN SCORPION AIR INTAKES
- SPEEDRIVEN ECU/TCU UPGRADES
- SPEEDRIVEN HEAT EXCHANGER
- JOHNSON CM30 PUMP
- AND MORE ...

I'm giddy, but afraid to ask the price.
Do you have a rough idea of how much gain you get from each part? Like is the upgraded intercooler more or less effective than the upgraded turbo? The tune alone gets you to 620/740, so the parts are getting you 180/200. That's pretty good for a turbo, intercooler, and intake.

I'm not sure I can give you a "this makes 'x' hp" type of number, because each part works with the parts before it - one wouldn't make sense without the other. For example:
Step 1 is an ECU flash, which "derestricts" the car.
Step 2 is the TCU flash, which doesn't make sense on a 100% factory car (because the TCU flash addresses torque limits and high speed/high rpm conditions which you'll never reach with a factory tune)
Step 3 is upgrading the factory IC pumps and heat exchanger, because the factory system can barely keep up with the cars stock. Now you're pushing the factory turbos and you need to keep temp. under control.
Step 4 is the Intercooler PKG (which includes the scorpion intakes) because now that things are cool enough, the choke-point becomes the intakes. More air coming in means more to compress, temps down means we can build more boost, which needs to be cooled by the top-mounts, etc.
Step 5 is the upgraded turbos, since (after step 4) the limitation is the factory turbos. Once you upgrade these, you're making big power, and the only choke-point left is ...
Step 6 ... the factory downpipes and exhaust, which only frees up about 20-30 whp, depending on the model.
Doing things in a different order just seems foolish. Upgrading the turbos without the coolers will just heat soak everything right away, you know? Doing the TCU without the ECU means you'll never feel a difference at all. Etc., etc.
I ... hope that helps?

The way I usually describe this to clients is: the factory system is in place to make sure the car doesn't overheat at a stoplight - the new system is in place to make sure the car doesn't heat-soak at 170 mph.

Nice looking stuff, and 800HP is nothing to sneeze at. 
One question, don't the four cone filters in the engine bay suck in a lot of hot air? Are they walled off or otherwise allowed to get cooler external air?

i just want to personally thank joe and marcin at speedriven for doing an excellent job. i recently had the ECU, TCU, and probably the best cat-less exhaust known to mankind for the W215 V12. i also had the v2 lowering module installed and the car looks sick dropped. cant wait for spring to put my kleeman ts6s on. the intercoolers and turbos are on my short wish list.
again, i highly recommend everyone to get these mods... great price and great people to work with.
