R170: Crossfire/SLK320
What else can I do? (Mods)
I feel like I'm running out of things to do to my Crossfire (SLK 320) My goal is top speed an top end power and my current mods are as follows
Dual Cold Air Intake 700-800 CFM
High Flow Fuel Filter / Pressure Regulator
Magnecor KV 85 Racing Wires
NGK Irridium IX Plugs One Heat Range Colder
Evo Sport Under Drive Pulley Kit with A/C Delete
Open Headers out below the engine.
Coming soon:
74 mm TB with filed flap
CLK 430 Injectors
Teflon Coated Valve Covers
Catch Can
ECU tune
Considering:
Kleeman Camshafts
Port and Polish Heads
Polishing Intake Manifold
Will Not:
Use boost of any kind for N/A Motor
Use NOS on any motor
I already know that a everybody will just tell me to get a 32K and I will do that eventually, I'm just wondering if anybody knows about anything else I can do that I may have overlooked until I get a 32K / SRT-6, which is the reason for the considering category, those things would be best saved for the new motor or car. I started an account here a while back, but never really posted, so I guess I'm new here too. Thanks all.

R170: Crossfire/SLK320
I knew I missed something, every bit helps. Can anybody guess what kind of power I'm turning out? I never really ran it or dyno'd it, but I did beat my neighbor in his stock 02 E55 AMG up to 80mph before we stopped. We were dead even to about 30 and then I steadily gained inches all the way til we stopped. So where does that put me in terms of power and times, any guesses.
