2000 CLK 430

300hp

Anyway to crack 300 HP at the wheel without super/turbochargers?

CLK55 Airbox - 15HP (at the wheel?)
Exhaust
Headers
Camshafts
ECU
Pulley Kit
Intercooler

Stock is about 215 at the wheel?
What else could be done to a Stock CLK430 to increase torque and HP)?

Just wondering...

I've heard some 2002's can do that at the wheel stock. Anyway, I don't think the exhaust or headers or pulleys are going to pull you up another 65 rwhp.

would an intercooler be helpful on a stock engine?

Is the 2002 stock numbers reachin 235 hps simply cause its a new vehicle? or is there something different with that engines configuration or manufacturing thats makin it pump out that much more Hp?

Dont think an intercooler will help unless you're s/c or turbo. I never heard 02's have more power.

get really lightweight wheels, this helps reduce unsprung weight. My friend has an SLK with really light racing wheels and the difference is quite noticable. Volk gram-lights (spelling?) are nice.
