Got A Bonus..........Should I Spend It???

Got a nice quarterly from the Boss..................

Already have the RennTech Pulley/ECU mod and the 2nd Intercooler with upgraded pump on my '05 SL55............

Should I get a larger Throttle Body??????? or would the money go more effectively to some other mod......

I dunno.........

I think the headers are a better mod overall. Have you SEEN what the stock headers on your car look like?? Its a pathetic piece of work. Headers will lower EGT's by a good amount also, your car will be healthier and be able to deal with the TB better.

Cylinder Head,
Yes, I saw the headers when we installed the 2nd Intercooler and Pump..........I liked the stainless........but they appeared too small..........................
