What is the torque limits for the SLK200's 5-speed automatic transmission?
Am contemplating boosting the stock's 163bhp and 240Nm to 235bhp and 325Nm with the Kleemann K-2 Performance kit, new pulleys and Headers. But worried that the stock transmission (and torque convertor) might not be able to handle?
The technical guide given to us didn't mention anything either...
Thanks!

I cannot imagine a reputable company like Kleeman overlooking something as basic as this. I think you will find that it will accept the power and torque increase, otherwise Kleeman would be selling mods for that too.

Have you timed your 0-100km/h?
What are all the mods you did to your R171? Can list them down and the approximate price you paid for?

You need to reduce the temp of the intake air for better combustion...

I also used kleemann's performance kit and tubular exhaust almost 3 weeks ago.
BUT....I can't feel obvious power up like you.
Would you please tell me how much time does your car run from 0-100KM ?
Thanks.

If you can run 0-100 around 6 secs, wow that's really fast.(according to the original car. Mine with K2+Header is just only 8.3 Secs.
)And that also means mine must go something wrong.....
RSLK, Do you change "Plug" after installing Kleemann's Products ?

I never times 0-100 before, only test after installing.
According to my driving experiences, I just cannot feel obviously power up like you.
That's why I'm curious to know.
Plugs are like these：

Did you change anything else cooperating to install the kit? or just only kleamann's Kit & header, others are original stock ?
Thanks

No, I did in kleemann dealer not kelvin's.
That means you didn't change anything when K2+Header were installed in Power Up this part.
Yes, you're right. Fast cars need good brakes very good point~
I also upgrade my braking system.
Mine is AMG 6 pot FRT 340mm & 4pot RR 330mm callipers.
Thanks
