Question 05' New S55 AMG needs upgrades for more HP

I bought a 2004 S55 AMG after totaling my 03' S500 which was flawless & this new whip is even in better shape and got for a awesome deal from friend who is a dealer. He got found this gem at an auction from Fletcher Jones trade in. I'm picking it up this weekend & wanted to know what, spark plugs to use & upgrades to push it to 550 ponies. Filters, pulleys, throttle body, any tips would be awesome. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

What area are you from? Tune Pulley Exhaust should be the first mods on your list. I would also get the cooling out of the way a Heat Exchanger and for sure an IC pump since your car will just shut off the blower after a few hard pulls.

If your in the Midwest hit up Speedriven they got some good packages with good prices that will get you what you need.

Thanks for replying, I'm in Huntington Beach, California. So those are the 1st steps in getting some more HP. Can I use better plugs or filters to start basic stuff. Do those chips work at all? Should I also have it put on a computer and tuned or whatever they do to make everything work in harmony

Congrats on the car.

pulley, tune, headers, fuel, cooling and you will be at the 500 to 520 rwhp mark.
