Performance upgrades

What all can we do to upgrade the engine performance of our 2003 SL 500? Can we add software chip, intake, headers, exhaust, etc.

You could add a Kleemann Supercharger... it's pricey, but everyone who has one says it was worth it.

Kleemann supercharger, about 150 rwhp gain, $14k for parts, add another $2k for installation

HPS might be developing their supercharger for the SL500. 100 rwhp gain, $8.5k parts
