2006 E55 AMG
ASP 180mm pulley = $800 - labor 300-500
82mm TB = 1200-1600 depending on who you go through - 4 hours labor
Rear reservoir = 200-300 w/ install add 5-6 hours labor
Custom tune = Whatever LET charges you for a custom tune
Headers, depending on what you go with - shorty on long = 1000-4000 plus install fees.

This should get you pretty close to what you want. The key will be in the tune to fully utilize all your hardware.

+1 there you go he just gave you the recipe for 130mph traps! If you don't listen to him then you need to sell your car.

I wouldn't go with a kit from some one, I would mix and match the best parts around.
180mm pulley- $800
LT's with cats-$2800
82mm TB-$1600
CF Airbox- $1800???
parts total= $7000

Then you have labor which should be a lot , if you had a little bit more you could top it off with some cams??
