I don't know how much power is available in the NA motor. I never altered my limited when I had it.
LOL, well like everything, it is all opinion. Both of my NAs have run pretty well, granted they are no SLK55
but AutoXing this weekend, I was hanging with and beating cars with cars with A LOT more power than I (and getting WHOOPED by some with lots less than me LOL damn power to weight ratio and all that)

Are you aware what kind of gains can be had from the throttle body? I see guys changing these all the time, but in several years of modding these, I have never seen anyone post actual gains, so I am weary....
