MKB Camshafts for everyone

I know renntech made camshafts for the I-6.

http://www.mkb-power.de./pages_en/p...roups%5Bid%5D=5

For the C280:

229 HP at 5800 RPM

I don't believe we can get those gains from just camshafts. These camshaft either don't work (that well) or are like $3000.

For the C43 330 HP at 5600 RPM (I guess the camshafts in the C43 engine are pretty aggressive already because the kit comes with a whole bunch of stuff...)

I've read a few messages about AMG engines vs normal, it seems the AMGs already have a camshaft upgrade...if the price was right I wouldn't mind one also. Anyone have any insight into this upgrade?

And what happened to the header upgrades? Anyone complete that?

Some said that the MKB camshaft is exactly the same as the AMG one, is this true?

I don't believe that MKB would take AMG stuff for sale and claim that those parts are made by themselves.

MKB was started by a guy who's name was Melcher (sp?). He is the same guy who's the M in AMG. Therefore, there could be similarities but I would think they are slightly different.
