Can 7G-Tronic be Reprogrammed to AMG SeedShift?
I love the 7G-Tronic; I just wish it was a little more aggressive. I wish it would not down-shift so readily and shift quicker. I love what I read about the AMG SpeedShift programming. Can the 7G-Tronic be reprogrammed to AMG SpeedShift specs?

No it is not possible, but kleemann (www.kleemann.com) offers a ecu upgrade both for the 7gtronic and the old 5speed one wich works greeeeeat :-)

Very cool, I did not know they were offering the tranny chip too. I have checked out their ECU. I also talked with them about their headers but they don't have them for the 3.5L M272 E35 C-class yet. I am thinking the MKB headers, ECU, cams with springs and SuperSprint catback exhaust ought to be good for 330 HP. Add on the Kleemann tranny chip and it might run low 13s. Bye-bye 335i.

Im sure it will come soon aswell as a kompressor for it, they make quality for sure. :-)
Did you check the kleemann tailpipe?
I dont think you will need to change valve springs.

A supercharger kit for the 3.5L would rock, no doubt about it. I wonder how much boost the non-AMG all aluminum block can take? As for the springs, MKB sells the cams and stronger springs as a kit. It can help a lot to reduce valve float from the higher lift/more aggressive lobed cams at high RPM.
