Btw the Kleemann throttle body is only 80mm, you can replace it with the Eurocharged throttle body which is 82mm you can get more power. There is at least a good amount of power to gain once you get the heat sorted and get the additional mods I mentioned in the PM.

Yup, this is what im going to do.
ECU + TCU tune as i told you before (either with Kleemann or MHP)
and then I start the list you mentioned in the PM.
I'll start off, with the Johnson C30, and then we start with the heating problems probably when the LSD and spacers are installed

TCU keep it the last thing maybe you need it maybe not, most importantly for now is the C30 and the Heat/exchanger so your car runs well. Double check on factory intercooler pump they tend to go bad.

Some parts you might not need but I strongly emphasise on the heat exchanger, along with the C30 and the Thermostat your good to go.

Re-dyno your car after that, hope all is well if you are still not pleased with performance you can get items like the 82mm throttle body, CF python tubes, Top Mount intercooler setup.

Yeah, the TCU i'll wait for the rest of the mods to be fit, then we can see
whether I do need a TCU tune or not.

I'll have a talk with Kleemann tomorrow, and see what they can do with the ECU

The heat exchanger and johnson c30 is definitly going to happen by the end of next week.

Then we'll dyno the car. Lets hope I can get +500 to the wheels.
If not, I'll bring the car over to Kuwait, and we both can see the problem and get some help since we don't really have an AMG specialist here (not that i know of)

Thanks for the advice bro!

Update:
Just installed the new HRE P40's last night, sorry for the bad pics, we have a sandstorm here in Bahrain so no chance of proper pics. Will have a proper photoshoot as soon the weather gets better!
Let me know what you guys think!
Hope you like them!

Congratulations, finally it took ages. I got the LSD installed the car just launches terrifically. 1st gear little esp intervention at very low speeds, 2nd gear no problem just grips crazy.

What your car now needs is the fresher new tail lights and the SL65 Front bumper with slight lowering ie electronic lowering module. You've got a panaromic sunroof or is that a foil ?
