That's a rather impressive first post, your "SL55 is slow".

Just sell it.

You should have bought a 600 if hp is all you care about.

You get no answers until you have at least 100 posts. While waiting take some of that $10k and get some english lessons.

Quaife diff
maybe a throttle body if you got the cash.

Thank you for honest answer, unlike these kids here.

How much power will it be worth? Where is best place to get these parts you speak of?
Are there any other suggestions?

Park the SL55 for a month,then go drive it again. Should feel as fast as the day you bought it. Take the $10K and invest it!...2 cent!

I have plenty invested already, this money is for my toy. Please refer to original question. I am not here for finance advice. I want power. You know the old saying, "In this country,first you get the money, then you get the power,THEN you get the woman." I have the money, now need POWER, i got women, maybe with more fast car i will get more women though.

is this pulley and ecu different than kleeman, someone gave me a $2400 for kleeman ecu and pulley. What is this speedshift you speak of? Is it a part or some programing? Is there a website with the throttle body?

Both pulleys are modified oem pulley and similar in size. Software is different. Speedshift is the programming of the Tranny computer unit.

Can you pm me your email address so i can send you a picture?

Oh yeah, please visit http://evotechmotorsports.blogspot.com ...

probably he still couldn't get any chicks with his car.... i think when that happens, it's more useful to visit a plastic surgeon instead of a garage....

Judgeing by our clients's postings and feedback about our 55K work....I am sure that you would be very happy with our setup......and save some money to boot!

One of our clients posted his dyno with our ECU and headers at 489 @ the wheels, which will equate to not far under 600 at the crank. We have a few more additions that will help you get where you want to be......and remain reliable

Most women won't have any idea what the dif. between a modded 55 & stock is .. & if ur after women impressed by cars, they either r already cause it's a benz .. or maybe get u some 24's & bling it out.

I would suggest reading through the sl and e55 forums a bit to get an idea on the mods, instead of asking everyone here to spell out everything .. example, the VRUS throttle body has like over 15-20 pages on it and people who are using it .. I'm not saying don't ask questions (I do all the time), just look a little to be able to speak intelligently on what is out there .. instead of "is this good, what is this, how can I get more power" .. kind of makes you sound like a guy who bought a kick *** car and has no idea about what he just spend $50-100k on ..

just my .02 cents.
