Sl55 172mm? looped fuel system?
Hello everyone, I have only owned my AMG for a couple months. Recently I had the following done: smaller S/C pulley, Eurocharged ECU & TCU tune, Meziere Intercooler pump, Secondary cat and resonator delete, K&N filters, Fabtech heat exchanger(not yet installed, but on its way)
My question is if anyone has stacked pulleys such as a 172mm crank and S/C together and what power gains can be expected without a 82mm throttle body or headers and my current set up? I'm going to get the 172mm crank pulley and stage 2 fabtech looped fuel system next unless there is a better modification you guys can recommend. My current budget is $2,500 and my goal is to get the most power for the buck.

I "stacked" a 176mm crank with the 84mm S/C pulley I'm glad I had split cooling and a 3.5 gallon trunk tank as well as EC HE.
Why "stage 2" fuel rail I thought that was only if you are going with meth? I would also get headers first
It's almost Black Friday so jump in quick, I would go
Kleemann Headers
Fuel Rail stage 1
Trunk or Engine Bay Tank with split cooling
If you can stretch the budget a little (or get a good discount) then add a 180mm pulley as well

I have a 168 with the SC pulley and belt wrap kit from Shardul. My best 60ft before the belt wrap kit were in the low 1.7 range with a best of 1.69. I now consistently 60ft in the mid to low 1.6 range and attribute it to the belt wrap kit. I would get the 172 and belt wrap kit. In a heavy SL55 to boot.
