ML63 NOS 100 Progressive Wet Set Up!

I know this maybe really crazy to think, but would any of you ML 63 owners think about putting a progressive 100hp nitro set up on your baby? Its cheap HP, and I am being told if done correctly will not harm the vehicle at all. I am just curious, because as we all know. There really isn't much out there for the ML63. Going to get the Resonators removed in the next two days. Then I was thinking of doing the ECU upgrade, and then a 100HP wet set up. So I would imagine in the end, on paper I would be doing about 640HP. Which would probably be about 560 at the tire.

What do you think?

ive heard too many horror stories about nitrous, i know it can be great if properly installed but be careful if you decide to go with nitro

The tranny will take it, from what I read at Kleimann they use the stock trans for there 800hp ml63. I read on some of the other tuner sites also, that the tranny in the 63's is probably one of the best out there for handling power. So trans isn't an issue.

Now a good friend of mine builds race cars for customers all over the east coast, and is considered to be one of the best engine builders. So he states, a progressive wet set up, dialed in to run off the RPM's, will not hurt the engine one bit. The dry systems and improperly installed one are the engine killers.

I am still debating, I may wait a while, and see if something else becomes available. Its just dollar for horse power, the best way still seems NOS, $1000 us for an extra 150 hp, cant get any cheaper then that. Unless you want to fork out 10K for minor upgrades and get 60hp if your lucky. Will heep u posted.
