Why are numbers 2 and 3 less than what the car was at stock? Do you think the stock numbers were exaggerated by MBZ, when the car hit the market?
What mod did you see the biggest change in feel for the car?
INtake? or the Chip and tune, seems like it would be the biggest,
Where did you purchase the chip, and are they available, in the US?
I am sure your car runs really well, you just need the supercharger and your good to go! haha

2000 CLK 320
With the changes I lost HP but gained on the Torque end and still would out perform a stock CLK.
Look at the Rear Wheel Horse Power and Rear Wheel Torque numbers which should speak for itself.
Every stage I felt allot of improvement but the biggest was first with #3 then again @ #4, both because each was a 20HP improvement. With #2 I felt the increase in torque but that was about it. The loss of HP in #2 was probably because I wasn't getting the correct amount of back pressure.
PowerChip/PowerFlash opened business in Japan and tuned it here. They do offer it in the US but only for 93 octane where they tuned mine for 100 octane. PowerChip is changing their name to PowerFlash.

2000 CLK 320
Update from PowerChip/PowerFlash
- We will dyno your car when you get back and myself and bill will try some new stuff to try get more power from your car. I need to make a little adapter for your ecu to read and write easily while on the dyno.
- Replacing your Thermostat with a lower temp thermostat will do the job, we used to do it in our Honda's years ago. Because they arent electronically controlled, (they use a wax element) there is nothing in the software to make it open at certain times.
- On the TCU, we are unable to modify gear changes, the transmission has its own computer(TCU) that we dont modify and are pretty sure nobody is doing it at the moment although some claim to be but havnt proved anything. Its something we would like to do in the future but the risks are huge, gearboxes on new cars arent cheap

99CLK320,
Hey Jimmy you said the biggest was first with #3 = Headers, Air Intake, Under drive pully, Sprint Booster. So, you got a 20 hpwr increase from those alone? I have the headers, SB and intake and I'm still contemplating putting on the pulley kit.
