If Renntech told you the MCT was designed to handle up to 750 bhp the that would square with the need to get an MCT upgrade with a turbo upgrade but not with just bolt on mods. If you do full tune, sport mufflers and catless or vetted DPs from Renntech you are at 726
Bhp. 736 bhp if you drop the $5k for their intake.
With respect to the spark plugs if you get the tune you're supposed to change them between every 10,000 and 15,000 miles to prevent misfiring as the tune places them under greater load. I changed my first set at 9500 miles prophylactically before a roll race event but they had shown absolutely wear according to the dealer's AMG service tech and could have probably made it to 15k. As I recall Renntech found that upgraded spark plugs were not better than the OEM ones

I'm less than 2k on my tune. Is there any recommendation as to what spark plug upgrade.
Can wait to see your next battle video and good luck.
Many thanks.

My train of though is spark plug upgrade would not hurt if anything.

Didn't know Renntech spark plugs was made by NGK and the OEM by Bosch.
