Planning the next Mods

Ok I have a CLS 6 Speed with just an AEM intake, CT headers waiting to be installed and a TB. What others Mods are the best bang for the buck? I'm thinking about an SC but I'm afraid of reliability issues cause my CLS is Daily Driver so guys help me out

If you do a search there are numerous CL-S out there with the SC and no major problem. The SC itself you won't have to worry about till 100K I believe. Comptech has made a wonderful product, and you won't be disappointed. Some members I believe have of 50K on the SC w/out issues. A search and further posts should back it up.

In regards to power, trust me you won't be disappointed at all, since I had it, and loved every sec of it.

Actually its 70k miles you need to send the SC back to Comptech and they replace the seals and oil, bearings I believe as well.

And plenty members have had no problems at all. One member, types1967 has nearly 70k on his six speed and has never had a problem.

SC'er here and no problems to the date. Dealer installed. It makes a hell of a difference and it feels like a whole new car. The whine is music to my ears. No le des mucho casco al proximo paso. Buena suerte Boricua!!

As mclaren3387 said, I got a really good deal which I couldn't refuse. With the SC on, never really had an issue.

Thanks bro for clearing it up, and I forgot thats 100,000 km, not 100,000 miles. Since i'm in Canada I quickly wrote down canadian specs.

When you buy the SC kit it comes with all the parts that you will need and an EMS module that has to be solder to the stock ECU. Do not use the piercing connectors due to poor contact. The instructions are very detailed. The dealer took a day and a half to complete my install because I wanted them to do it right since I live about 3.5 hrs away from the dealer. It cost $700 for the install.
