cl 65 amg
Thank you for the quick input 
.
But I think dollar per hp gain is alittle high for that kit.
I was looking to see if I could get atleast 750hp out of the car safely.
If I could get that then i would spend the money for it, but to spend 6g for 45 hp doesnt seem worth it to me, the torque # look good.
Thank you for your help.

Either way, welcome to the world of Mercedes where everything costs an arm and a leg.

The 65 is a bigger engine than the Maybach by half a liter. As of now the 65's are able to pull a little more HP and a lot more torque with ECU upgrades, however, that is about it. The 65's are about as tuned as your going to get after than short of doing some major work. The turbos are already putting out outrageous PSI, higher than the 600's and Maybach due to larger turbos and intercoolers.
Quite honestly, the power that the 65's make stock isn't even able to get to the ground effectively due to the transmission/differential and tire inadequacies.
