power increase for 430
ive been wondering of the mods that give the best power increase on a clk430, ESPECIALLY a faster reaction time when floored, and what ceiling u dont want to cross b4 it starts stressing too much the remaining stock pieces. thanx

i found a pretty good thread of a "do-it-yourself" success story where this guy improved the response and power increase on his e55.i wonder if anything similar can be done to the 430 intake. good thread tho

You got anymore pics of your whip? The pic you have in your posts is very interesting. I want to see what your wheels look like. By the way, does Biz's shop mount tires? I got a couple of Pirelli's coming from Tirerack and I need em mounted by Saturday. It's gonna be a topless kind of a weekend!

Another reason I asked about the wheels is I had a blow out on 95 Sunday. I was able to pull over and change 'er but the tire was toast. I considered just upsizing all the way around w/new rims (goin 18 eventually) but I just can't hack that cost right now. However, I want to see as many different combinations of wheels, rim setups, and levels of 'drop', I can and what they'd look like. When it's time to make a move ($), I want to KNOW what I want. Biz had some 18" HRE's (chrome) at his shop last time I was over there. Maybe I could line those suckas up against mine ride to see what they'd look like.
How much is yours dropped? Also, are those SSRGT's 18s? What tire sizes are you running?

Well I have 19's. 235/30/19 fornt and 265/30/19 rear. These rims will be sold shortly, i have 4 different offers right now just waiting for someone to give me the money.
Phade, Im either going to be selling my current front bumper or the new bumper I got from Europassion. I'll know which one in a few weeks. I dont want to deal with the hassle of shipping though so we'll see.

Regarding your kit. Ask your body shop how much it would cost to mold your stock bumper to one of the Carlsson kits. It'll fit much better, and it'll be more durable.
