Mods are Amazing
Last month on went: Eurocharge (EC) blower pulley and tune, EC I/C, Bosche 10 I/C pump, BeltWrap, and K&N air filters. The result is much noticeable stronger low end, mid range, and top end charge. Though 500 stock horses are super fun and kept me confident...if by chance (wink) to happen across some muscle, the mod combo definitely affirmed confidence.
Next: EC mid length headers and Quaife LSD.
Question for the Wisdomed: When/if to add 550 injectors? And is a larger throttle body necessary to reach the 600 chp mark?

With a pulley equivalent of 180mm or lager, you need larger injectors on these motors.
You currently have the smaller SC pulley, this is equivalent to 168mm IIRC. If you would go headers and 82mm TB, i say you need them already since there is much more air getting used than stock.
These cars have stock Wheel Horsepower of ~400WHP at a certain dyno brand type. Many users with the following mods
"180mm Pulley, Headers (at least mid-length better LTH), 82MM TB, 550CC injectors, Beltwrap-Kit, Better Air Filters, and some cooling upgrades (better pump + split cooling + additional HE + maybe methanol and/or maybe ice trunk tank and/or maybe killer chiller, etc)"
did reach ratings in the ballpark of 550WHP on the same dyno they did stock ~400WHP. Wheeltorque more than 600LB/FT (remember that ~516 LB/FT is stock at the crank.)
A Gain of 150 HP at the wheels, i would translate it to 700HP at the crank. Also more than 600LB/FT (~830NM!) at the wheels i would translate it to around 700-730 LB/FT (950-1000NM!) at the crank. Remember thats the torque rating of the mighty 65AMG engine untuned.
