Depending on your budget (for M113 5.0L):
Kleeman Supercharger $10K installed = +150Hp

Headers (You live in California, so you need to keep your primaries in order to pass the Smog inspection):
- Evosport Shorties $3000 Installed = +30Hp
- Abedin Shorties $1700 Installed = +25Hp

Pullies:
Evosport $450 Installed = +10Hp
Abedin $600 Installed = +10Hp

Intake:
Renntech $2000 = +15Hp
AMG 55K $300 = +7Hp

ECU Tunes
Big Name companies Off the Shelf Tunes: ~20Hp
Kleemann $850
Renntech $1250
Brabus $1250
Powerchip $1000
Speed Tuning USA $300

Custom Tune with Dyno Time $1000 ~ 25Hp

Great post! Very nice and concise bullets, all in one place.

*Edit: (Sorry about the double-quote at the same time. Good minds think alike.)*

Stickers/Badge = +5HP

Anyone know how much weight you save with a CF hood?

riarm

So you guys think it's worth it to get headers and pulley?

2MCHCAR

I'm not sure of the weight savings, I'm sure it's significant (removing weight on our front heavy cars is certainly a plus). But I'm worried about fitment and durability. Maybe someone can chime in on their VIS Racing CF hood experience.

For sure! The best part about the pulleys is that the Evosport pulleys are accessory type and the Abedin is engine damper type, so you can run them both (they are compatible with each other). With your intake (K&Ns), Exhaust (Headers), and accessory drives optimized; you would really benefit from a custom tune.

Yeah I'm thinking about it only becasue I put a dent in my hood so am going to repaint my hood and front bumper. If the Vis Racing hood fits well, I might as well buy that and paint it. Sleeper weight loss.

pulleys from evosport and header? Tune from speed tune

riarm

So, is there contact info on where I can get the abedin headers?

AMS is a sponsor of MBworld and their website is located here:
http://www.abedinmotorsports.com/

On this thread (post #33):
https://mbworld.org/forums/clk-class...cu-thread.html

AMS mentions that a AMS SS Header group buy is possible! These headers are compatible with so many MB models (practically the entire M113 engine family; 430, 500, 55, 55K engines), if you post the group buy to every sub-forum with the M113 engine, you are bound to find two more buyers (in the thread mentioned above, 3+ is needed for discount pricing; perhaps if 10+ join, the savings would be even better )!

FYI, these AMS headers are on my to-do list so let me know if you start the GB!

riarm

I am down when do you want get it started?

2MCHCAR

To be honest, there is no sense of urgency on my part. I have quad ///AMG tips, high flow second cats, new muffler, VIS rear diffuser and Speed Tuning USA ECU tune that is waiting to be installed (in the next month or two). I do have money to put on headers if the group buy is successful. If you want to take the action here is the steps to take:

1. Contact (PM) AMS and negotiate the group buy terms such as:
*Special Pricing for 3+, 5+, 10+, etc
*Special Pricing if you also get the pulley
*Amount of deposit per group buy member
*Cut-off date for the group buy
2. AMS can then create a thread in the Group-Buy Forum indicating the terms of the Group Buy
3. AMS (or you) can create a thread in all the forums that have compatible M113 engine models (W211 E430, E500, E55; SLK55; W209 CLK55, CLK500, W208 CLK430, CLK55, etc) and link the group buy thread to it.
