Newbie question
I just got my 2003 S55 AMG, supercharged w/ 493hp and torque at 516. I put Lorinser LM-5 on Pole Position 20". Window spoiler on and rear deck spoiler on order.

Now how can I get more horsepower? A good tuner can put a different belt on for more power, right?

I live in New Jersey, does anyone know of a good tuner?

Thanks
Clarence

A belt will not do the trick
You need a bigger (in Diameter) Crankpulley ,
or a smaller (in Diameter) Compressor Pulley.

Those beautiful 20" LM-5s surely did not give you added horsepower..

Ok you have a really new car, so donn't be suprised if you have to wait a year or two for MODz to come out, Pullies, MAS, ECUs. And if your car is really rare and people don't want to MOD it you may never see aftermarket parts for it.
