What aftermarket performance are you looking at doing with this car? I didn't have real good luck finding anything for the cl500 engines.
I am LantanaML320 on Benzworld and MBworld. I was active on those sites until I traded the Alabama Mercedes for the German Chrysler. I posted about the conversion on those sites but there wasn't much interest.

I am looking at SLR cams, headers and either a rear mount turbo or the MB V8 Supercharger. I am leaning towards the turbo but like the OEM look of the supercharger if it will fit under the hood. The turbo offers the most performance potential. I will probably go Turbo and just bought my first part tonight in that quest. I bought a ML55 engine cover which would work great with a turbo installation. I will either build my own system or go with a Squires STS turbo. I am back to doing my research!

Also I want to thank everyone for the great comments. the encouragment I have gotten on here has kept me going when things looked impossible.
