7).Self Fabbed cat back exhaust
8).shortened/stiffened Mercedes R-170 springs lowering car 1.5" Front, 1.8" Rear
9).Fiberglassed and reinforced rear of Front air dam to increase functionality and performance
10).everyone who has ever turned a wrench has a couple secrets handed down to him that will always be kept secret to help keep him just a bit ahead of the other guy.
At this time I think most of my future modifications will be to aid in the aerodynamics and handling of the car. By no means do I think one couldn't drag alot more h/p out of the AMG powerplant but for my type of driving both everyday cruising and occasional Track (I drive road courses) not drag strip, I am at a happy medium for power/dependability. I can do far more to improve lap times in ways other than increasing the h/p. I will say, this little V6 has incredible possibilities.
