Increase Power On A 380sl
 

WHAT IS THE BEST AND CHEAPEST WAY TO GET MORE POWER IN MY 1983, 380SL?

NO NEED TO SHOUT!

a. Make sure that everything is working right (injection, exhaust, no worn cam lobes, tight chain, good compression, etc.)

b. Look for a euro engine (higher compression, mildly hotter cams)

c. swap in a 500 or 560 engine

Bump the timing 5-15 degress and use hitest.

Going the budget route? Put someTechron in the high test, and check out the threads on "XP33."

Has your 380 been converted to a dual row timing chain yet?
