Super Charger Upgrade

While my SL 55 has quite a lot of power I'm considering a super charger pully upgrade along with the ECU modifications. I would appreciate any advice on the experiences of our forum. Also does the ECU modification include remapping of the transmission & speed limited?

Wrong forum. Please see the E55k forum. Short answer is pulley and ECU upgrades are common. Transmission tuning is separate. Seems like a $1500 upgrade that won’t hurt anything (except maybe the pulleys, which are likely not built to MB spec). Consider cooling pump upgrade as well, and change all fluids (supercharger fluid, transmission fluid) first. Eurocharged is a popular tuner. In ATL, you should definitely contact Blue Ridge Mercedes for tuning and long term service.

But Blue Ridge MB is better than ANY forum.
