RENNtech ECU upgrade for the SL500 yields just 10 additional horsepower, from 302 to 312. For the princely sum of $15,900, you can add a supercharger to boost performance to 443 hp.

We will get you about 35 hp from an ECU tune and K&N filter. Its's not 400, but it's a nice set up and its a hell of allot cheaper than 15K!
Let me know if I can help.
