[W126 Coupe] How to gain 112 bhp normally aspirated horsepower onyour w1...

[Shayegan, Richard]

I think you're better off just supercharging the 500 and adding a methanol water injection a la Jim Nowak. The 500 to 560 swap would entail replacing just about anything that has anything to do with the engine (motor, ignition, injection, exhaust, intake, computer, I'm sure I'm forgetting something), but with a euro 500 you already run 247hp, and with 12psi you'd run around 440hp...though you may want to fire ring the head gasket first. Heck, running 6psi would give you 340 and I don't think you would need to fire ring the head gasket nor run the methanol water injection with such low boost.
