Very Interesting! sounds similar to some of the issues im having with mine:

1-difficult to keep a low idle
2-massive amounts of boost down low
3-power dies rapidly after 6000,but this could be due to not switching of intake advance

Intereseting about tthe AMG cam sprokets,you would possibly have to compare them side by side unless you can find genuine MB/AMG info!.
Its pretty hard to get second hand AMG bits here especially cams etc,im waiting for a C36 rear bumper to finish of my kit,its going to be a while =)

If you feel power is fading quickly at 6000 its prolly from the advanced cam. But since you mentioned before that keeping the cam advanced past the 4200 range made a bit more power, you can opt to switch it of at say 5000 - 5200 and see the results you get.

Like i said before, in my AMG its clearly felt that the Cam needs to stay advanced past the factory set point at 4000 rpms, it can be a similar case for you too.

If i had a V12 M120 SL and the AMG cams could be fit, i would pay a couple of thousands for them, am sure they will give some 30+ hp on a 6.0, After all the 7.3 AMG M120 is nothing but 2 "3.6 AMG" engines in one. (Almost)
