Just picked up an 05 slk55!!!!

Hunter · 03-26-2008

It has 49k miles. Only mods i have so far is a 100 shot nx wet kit, and green filters! stock before the filters it made 293 rwhp and 305 rwtq SAE. on a 100 shot it made 370 rwhp and 410 rwtq. My next mod will be the exhaust side and some weight reduction. Since headers are so expensive i plan on fabbing up my own set of headers! My brother and i have a lot of experience fabbing turbo kits so it shouldnt be any problem. My goal is a 11 sec daily driven slk55 without the supercharger though. Just nitrous.
