252 kW for your 500

This seems like a nice way to increase the CLK 500's performance to 252KW. Its quite cheap (US$1000) when you look at what you paid to get the 500 over the 320 for the extra power.

CLK 500 powerchip

Does anyone know what the warranty implications are if you install a chip?

I realise this thread would be most at home in the tuning and performance thread, but this thread keeps the tech talk down a little

Cool

What's the kw translate into hp ?
I noticed they haven't developed a chip for C32AMG
It's difficult to mod the chips from an AMG Kompressor vehicle
and I rated this as "capability of a chip company".

That's right, so its an increase of about 35hp and the difference between the clk320 and the clk500 is about 85hp. So in terms of $/Hp its not a bad option.
I would like to know about other implications having the chip will cause.

Thanks
