450 BHP Saab 9000 Aero
New member. E55 AMG 381 bhp,189 mph
Hi all, i've just bought an e55 amg this weekend and i'm over the moon with it.Its my first Mercedes and first real fast car and i'm just amazed by the sheer amunt of torque and power it has!!!
I bought it pretty much with everything done to it from a member of this site, and it is seriously seriously quick!!
So here goes:
Full custom exhaust
X pipe
Sprint Booster
Chipped and de-limited
Fully lowered suspension
19" Wheels
And probably loads more but cant think!
Power is 381bhp and top end of 189mph!
The car is trully stunning in silver and is a job well done to its previous owner.
Basically i've got about £1,500 to spend on it and haven't a clue what o get!
What else can be done to get it that little more special? Any advice would be appreciated as i'm in new territory with Mercs!
Also are there any Merc specialists in South Wales or Bristol Area (U.K.)
Cheers
Dave

Hi, Not sure about top end as thats what the previous owner told me. But it goes like a rocket! 
I haven't really pushed it yet as i'm still getting used to the throttle and RWD tail out action! Caught me out a few times....even in a straight line!! Crazy machine!!
I've left a post on the forum for clear head lights. There's a silver w210 from UAE with them and it looks really nice, does anybody know where i can get them from......well does any body know any good stores on the net for amg/mercs? All new to me as i've just converted from Saab's and cant stop smiling

Thanks Wayne, appreciate that.
I've only had the car 5 days and its pretty much sorted and has had thousands spent on it already, but i just want to do a few more things to put my own stamp on it!

none
Heads, Cams, Forced Induction, LSD, pullies(both crank and underdrive set), headers, and a bunch of other things you could probaby do. That car is no where near maxed out my friend. My 4.3 is cranking out a good deal more so your 5.5 should have no problem besting 381hp. Find a used kleemann setup and you'll be making 450ish at the wheels.
I would start with mods that free up parasitic loss or in other words power you are already making. Look into things like PTE's phelonic spacers, PTE lower theromstat, better plugs/wires, underdrive pullies, and headers.
Congrats and enjoy that thing. Post some pictures and pictures of your mods also.

Take care, enjoy your ride, and be safe in your beast.

Did you get it dyno or just adding up number from mod? My Kleemann stage 2 best dyno at 381whp about 57bhp more than what you making now.
