Are you thinking the DMS upgrade, then? yikes

I've heard derestricted Vmax's of about 205-210mph. I reckon 180-190mph is acheivable.
I would think you'd have to upgrade the tyres, though.

A standard SL55 was maxed out (once) by a German car magazine at 202mph.

Was this at Nardo? and a Factory car with about 600BHP.
So Mike you will need a remap and much smaller pulley
for the super charger. Might need about 4 miles of
straight road to manage it though.
