Get rid of the car and then buy a Honda

In the Mercedes world, you gotta pay to play.

E-mail info@euroteckmotorsports.com to see what they have RENNtech wise for your SL55. Since the SL55 is supercharged, a simple pulley upgrade can make dramatic power differences for your car.

How much are you looking to spend? RENNtech ECU and Pulley make the stock SL55 seem sluggish, according to other members.

Mercedes tuning dont come cheap. To my knowledge there are no cheap options to get some serious power. Must spend at least 10K$, even better 25k$, to get the real kick. Just done it, know what things cost.
