Exclamation PLEASE HELP!! LOOKING FOR MODS

Hello guys , my name is alan .Im new to this forum. Yes i seen threads on this topic before but they haven't answered all my questions , just bare with me guys . I just bought a 2008 e63 about a month ago . Got a really good deal , paid 25k flat 49k miles from a cop no accidents . Car runs smooth except recently i picked up a weird noise some times i get a clunk sound when I come to a red light . Mind you I still didnt get a tranny fluid exchange , which should be the reason this is happening , other then that it runs perfectly . ill get that issue fixed sometime next week . Im looking into mods , i know its an na motor , i heard its difficult to squeeze power out of this engine but its possible. Im really intrested in kleemann tuning , therefore i talked to cory from kleeman usa. If i get there headers , pus a flash tune , i should be getting around 90-100 hp , add another 80 mm throttle kit and airbox with k&n filters i should be getting an additional 30hp . what else is left besides cams which are too expensive there , around 4k from kleeman . Guys i need to know the maximum mods please w/0 a SC. Any info would be cherished and obv taken into consideration . Thank you

Btw The car is a beast , and sadly i believe a lot of people underestimate the m156 motor . Also feel free to lmk abut any other tuners that have additional tunes for the car that kleeman dosent offer

Since you have over 100 views and no responses Ill throw in my views. Keep in mind my knowledge of the m156 is limited to this forum. Headers and a tune are solid mods. I would suggest MBH headers. Pricey for sure but the best. Your mods that actually produce hp/buck are limited. As for a tune I would do a lot of research. Most hp figures people throw around are rwhp. Don't think 90 rwhp is possible with those mods. As for the TB I have not heard of people doing it on an e63. M156'are fun to drive for sure. If you can gain 60 rwhp from headers and tune then I would do it. Keep in mind owners of the m156 have been disappointed with the outcome of their mods. That being said intake and exhaust mods do wonders for n/a engines. Good luck

thank you for the reply , i spoke to the mechanic from kleeman who installs all of these mods , he broke it down for me step by step and based on research and reviews alot of people claim kleeman is the best fo tuning , especially their headers for amg . Ive never heard of mbh , there priced the same as kleemann . Whats your take on the brand .
