can my c280 be modded?
I was looking for power gains on my 97 c280, all that I have really done was add clear corners and I am going to get the grill and a few other apperance itemss, yet I would like to boost hp and such, what can i do? and do you guys like amg or brabus exhuast and where can i get it, but mainly how do i make this not just another benz, I want this to be a beast, thanks

best bet for HP boost would be to do a turbo in the I6...I've seen a few C280's with turbo's, good amount of gain and the I6 has potential for modding. A c36 motor is really the 2.8 bored out to 3.6 so you can see what you have to work with

i beleive MRP makes a turbo manifold for the M104 motors!!! I would just do a custom turbo kit with your C280... upgrade the internals with Carilla rods and JE Pistons, custom billet crank... to drop the compression... then put a A/R .60 front housing T3 turbo in it and call it a day!! Of course, you would either need to find somebody who can tune your Eprom ECU or go with another type of fuel management system.

and intake, exhaust and little things do make a difference... especially when youre talking about major motor work like a turbo or blower.
