I have the VRP throttle body installed on my SL55. It's terrific.

Due to some procedural glitches I wasn't able to run before-and-after dynos so I don't how much the horsepower has changed. However the throttle response is noticeably improved, not that the stock SL55 is any slouch.

On top of that, Victor is a very friendly, helpful guy.

Most of the VRP TB owners drive E55s with pulley and ECU mods. They are raving about the TB. The most relevant forum thread is this one: https://mbworld.org/forums/w211-amg/146992-80mm-amg-throttle-body.html
