Which mods should I do first on my SL55?
Hi all,
My name is Steve and I'm a newbee to the MB community with my 2005 SL55. I'm lovin it more and more every time I take her out for a drive. I'm on Long Island and will be bringing the car over to Tuning Technologies to see what can be done in the way of engine mods. I'm sure a lot of you have been where I am now. Any opinions on what I should do to get even more punch from her then she already has? There are several ways to go as I read more and more, looking to see what might be the best bang for the buck as I start down this road.
Thanks for reading,
Steve

Bruce at TTM, will do you right. The consensus amongst most 55K owners, is that a pulley and ECU tune the best first step. After that, cooling mods, then maybe headers and exhaust work.
Be careful, it's addicting.
