Question Upgrades for my 2000 CL500

PLEASE HELP A GUY WITH CHRONIC TECHNICAL KNOWLEDGE DEFICIENCY!
My brother got all the mechanical genes...

What would be the smartest/best outcome/cost effective way to upgrade the performance of my CL500? If doing it by steps, what should they be? How do you figure out which of the tuning systems are best?

Thanks! I will be eternally grateful!

You should look into the Kleemann Kompressor system. http://www.kleemannusa.com/

Why Kleeman over Brabus or Lorinser? Any suggestions as to which component to start with?

Kleemann is the best value as well as maybe even the best aftermarket kompressor system. Brabus and Lorinser system will run at least double to triple the cost and yield no additional gains.

Thanks!
Do you know of any reputable dealers/installers in OK?

Any others with differing opinions?
