Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to say you did the wrong thing. You obviously know more about tuning than I do... I'm just curious as to the logic behind the decision...

The automatic is a lot more consistant then a manual transmission and not to mention more driver friendly around the busy streets of Miami during rush hour, which is about 5 to 6 hours out of a days driving. As far as nitrous, the only advantage I see with the manual is the ability to use a TPS and have nitrous engage at WOT, when you let off the throttle to shift, you let off the nitrous as well rather then spray through the gears, which im sure is no big problem for the transmission unless you are spraying a big shot. You can bypass this system by using a MSD window switch, or simply use a trigger to engage the nitrous yourself, when you know the car is on WOT. Im not any expert on nitrous systems but I have done a little share of research to make certain conclusions.
oh and for anyone who thinks my C32 is on nitrous... im not
.... just cuz i walked on a 500whp cobra and a W211 E55 doesnt mean im on spray damnit

Yo bro, how come in your cardomain site it says:
Performance Modifications
Brake Upgrades: Brembo
Drivetrain / Transmission: AMG
Engine Components: Brabus
Header: AMG
Intake: AMG
Performance Chip: Brabus
Shocks: H&R
Springs: H&R
Major Upgrades: nitrous, supercharger
Your rear brakes don't look big enough to warrent after market Brembo's. Where'd you get an AMG tranny? And what Brabus stuff do you have? I thought Brabus didn't make ECU's? And where'd you get your AMG headers as well. Same with intake?
Where's the supercharger also?

Cool cool, that's pretty tight. Why'd you go down do the AMG 5-Speed when the 7g-Tronic can handle whatever the R171 can push out? Also, why headers from AMG Germany rather then something which flows better like Supersprint? Same issue with intake? Why the AMG restrictive intake when there are hundreds of better one for a lot cheaper price?
Also, if the Brabus chip is the same, why'd you get that one? Also did you have to adapt it from another car because none of my Brabus vendors are telling me they make a chip for the R171 yet. You should've looked at perhaps Powerchip or Kleemann, I think both of them offer a solution for the R171.
What company is the supercharger from? Why are you getting a Japanese Specialist shop to work on the SLK?
Sorry for all the questions, I'm a broker of information The more I know, the better I can help everyone out 
BTW: Do you have a better picture of the front brakes? On both sides btw, I want to see if they installed them like AMG installs their bbk's on the 65's or reverse. Also, you might want to get the rears changed as well to match the fronts in braking power, having massive brakes in the front overpowering the rears is dangerous and one of the worst things to have when racing on the track. That's why StopTech goes for balance.

Excellent read.

Ah so the supercharger will also be just for show right? Because it's kinda countering the restrictive breathing products from AMG. Same with the adapted 'grey' market ECU chip.
BTW: What all did you have to change for the tranny? Every AMG car still has a Mercedes transmission. What makes yours special to make it AMG? Just the SpeedShift?
I understand NOS is for show, I'm even scared to see guys run spray on the track for fear of going BOOM! :p
That's wicked cool btw to get all of it for free!
