Wow that is a scare with a fever at that age!  I would have been freaking out too!  Glad everything is OK!!

What power does this thing now make with the tune and pulley?  I have been eyeing up a CLS63 as a future family toy, Gotta love Benz 6 figure cars that depreciate to 10% of original value LOL  I am liking the 5.5 bi turbo V8 that you can tune to almost 700/700 hp/tq with a tune and nothing else plus the AWD.  Crazy cars! 

If I have done my homework the E55 series you have is very similar power wise just not has much headroom for power with the SC vs the twin turbos on the newer AMGs

Stock w211 E55 AMGs usually dyno at 410-420whp. The time and pulley are good for at least 40whp without any other changes (that gain doubles once you do any exhaust work) so that puts the car at a conservative ~450whp or ~525hp at the fly with 17% drivetrain loss.  All for just $16k

I would agree on your assessment of the  bi-turbos vs sc.  They definitely have a higher ceiling
