Yes it will, however you'll be better of with a set of Evosport V8 pullies and other real performance add-on's.

Nos is more track only / show only kinda mod.

Not sure if I really understood your reply.

Are you meaning that when you go to shows you'll remove the kit?

There's a fellow with a N2O-equipped SL55 who posted in the "SL55 pics" thread. You should have a look at what he's done.

Nitrous would be great on a super-natural engine. Helps cool the intake charge too. You might need a custom kit but with enough money and patience, anything is possible.

A purge kit would be really sweet on a high roller like yours. A real head turner!

BTW VRAA, the purge kit isused to flush the nitrous lines of any air/warm nitrous. It is usually mounted where the windshield washer is so the driver can tell when the line is full of chilled nitrous. It looks like a little puff of smoke or steam blowing at the driver.

haha, you would be taking full responsibility for any damage, but it has the potential to be a SL65 killer. Doing so would make your car truly unique.... and did I say fast?

If you run something a little as a 30 shot...you should be fine without needing to compensate tuning for it. It would be a big increase. Probably around 45rwhp and 65rwtq, but then again...it only lasts for a few seconds.

I would get the evosport chip and pulley.

Hey guys, I'm the one squeezing. Right now im using a 100 shot (wet shot) in conjunction with the Renntech pulley and ECU combo. It's quite visceral. We had to do some extra work with the adaptive functions of the motronics to compensate with the added fuel injection and of course nitrous. Ive gone through three tanks, thats about 35 full burns, and it's absolutely awe inspiring. If anybodys in the Los Angeles area and wants to meet up PM me.

Yes! That's awesome! I had NOS on my old Honda, it was a direct port kit with the purge valve. One of the best things about an automatic tranny is the ease of use of NOS.

I was considering NOS for my CLK 430, but no one on the CLK side has any experience. I heard that BergWerkes has a nitrous kit for MBZs.

Where in LA are you located?
