Houston Area Tuners?

Does anyone know of any tuners in the Houston area that is authorized for Rentech, Kleeman or the MKB stuff?

What does the stage two MKB Hypertune kit for a CLK430 2000. That's the kit with cams, headers, etc. I've emailed the Dallas people twice and no reply...I guess I could call but...

Thanks...

Oberklasse is the shop I used for the MKB work. Call 817-334-0223. Ask for Allen or Jerry and tell them that Richard Kim sent you. Hope that helps.

Did you take or send you CLK to Houston for the MKB tuning. If so, how long did it take? thanks.

Yes, $2000 round trip in a covered truck. Travel time each way was about 5 days. My car was down there for 2 months, however, 1/2 of that time was spent waiting for certain parts... keep in mind that the MKB parts come from Germany so sometimes things get delayed.

The MKB hypertune kit adds approx 60HP. Combined with a performance differential, and you will be faster than a 55. However, you'll also be spending more than a Kleemann Supercharger would cost...

Currently, we are the closest Kleemann dealer to you (CA). We are also a MKB dealer, and could do both if that was what you were inquiring about.

I believe Oberklasse is in the DFW area, not too far from us houstonians.

These 2 upgrades alone (MKB and Kleemann) will cost you around $50+.
