CL600 engine upgrades

I just bought a new 05 CL600 and I would like CL65 performance. Does anyone have first hand experience with the Renntech, Kleeman or Brabus upgrades on a v12tt? Are they worth the money? Is one better than the other? Do you feel a big difference during everyday driving?

Thanks!

Not directly answering your question but I did find this from PowerChipGroup's
website.

Powerchip has a range of chips to suit your car, which can increase it's power to between 581 hp and 591 hp, and it's torque to between 690 lb.-ft and 696 lb.-ft.

The price of the Powerchip is USD $2,980.00.

Current state of the art re: W215 CL600 Performance Upgrades

I just bought a 2004 CL600 with 14,000 miles on it and am looking to invest in a performance upgrade. Can anyone put me on the right track?

Hello Sir,

Give me a call and we can discuss the performance upgrades on your 600.

By the way, we used to write software for Renntech 600/65 for the last 4 years.

I have the RENNTECH DOWNGRADE

I have the Renntech DOWNGRADE on MY SL600 and can't even dream of any other way to throw money away on a totally worthless product.

I would definately explore other options and steer clear of them.

I have an 05' sl 600 and an 05' cl65. I have the stage 2 Renntech on my 600 and it will run and hide from my 65! Best bang for the buck with the best reputation. Look at their track record. 10-20 years of experience as well as a direct tie to Mercedes Benz as well as AMG. Disregard the previous comment of the gentlemen above. THere is obviously an underlying problem there.
