Simon,
Questions:
I'm debating on a E63 or a ML63... here is my questions: Do you supply or know of any lightweight rotors and wheels for the 2008 ML63? Also, do you have a setup for the air intake with carbon fiber like Carbonio does?

Yes, we do have a carbon intake setup for the ML63.

Mercedes-Benz gear changes requires not only a mechanical change, but a change in electronics as well. The EGS conntroller for the transmission must be updated with new gearing information. It gets very expensive.
Car is coming back in a few weeks for more work. Will try to get a dyno then. Our dyno here is only 2WD right now, so it will need to be sent out.
They should work but I don't believe it will be a simple bolt-on application. You will probably need to relocate the caliper to work on the ML.

With regards to an equal length header, the long tube will make more power. We feel the long tube we offer now will be the best performing header for this application. Even more so than an "equal length header".

There's no room for a true shorty header (with collector) in this motor, which is why nobody offers one. Besides, where as the 55K motor can benefit from shorty, this engine really needs more than that to make good gains. Again look at the SLS header, it's a longer header, not a shorty, otherwise MBZ would have done a shorty.

The SLS header is not a long tube header. Our header is and it will make more power. When you say "is it doable", are you asking if the SLS header will bolt-on to the ML? It will not.

580 hp is cranck not rw hp,mkb came out with 551 first then they added the headers and a retune and came out with 581 hp.no pulley,camshafts.imo it`s the same every where, you`ll see the same figure.as i pointed out before,supersprint did a dyno before and after for their headers.tune by it self will net you 15 to 25hp.

We can post this because we know exactly what power gains our mods make. The power is rated at the crank. Depending on the vehicle, each will have a different drivetrain loss. Our dyno is 2WD so the ML cannot dyno on it. We have been waiting for the customer to dyno the car on AWD dyno. But regardless, we make 580 on the 63 motor with these mods.
