Is it me or does that trap speed seem low for an 800 rwhp SL?

Power delivery from the turbos I am guessing, the 1/8 and 60ft are very fast.

The aftermarket turbos should be seeing more power up high than down low. Wish I had more info.

60 foot and mile-per-hour do not make sense for 4500 pound vehicle claiming that horsepower?

A little bit of confusion here. Short answer: car is not currently running as dyno'ed. This is the customer's victory lap, though, so I'll allow Phil to let whatever cats he wants out of his bag.

Nice job, buddy! Great run!!

Nice front page advert for Speedriven however the SL600 is not an AMG, it's obviously better.

Y'all didn't do the turbo fabrication or installation on the record breaking SL, correct? What exactly was your involvement? Was it just tune and intercoolers?

As I've mentioned a few times already, there's a lot of confusion about what's on the car, and I have a handshake deal with Phil (the car's owner) to keep quiet on the specifics until the next round of upgrades. What I will say, however, is that I have everything I need to duplicate this performance in stock here in Palatine ... you know, if you're interested.

Yes, I'm interested. Have all Speedriven's go fast goodies on my car. Just need the turbos and a tune. Let me know the cost. Not interested in a turbo wheel mod on the stock turbos. I want the good stuff.

So Phil has said on another forum that NO2 was used during his runs. I am not familiar with these things, does this mean NOS ( on the bottle )? I am assuming not and he was trying to be funny

Ok so a 150 shot of NOS was used on the 9.9 run according to Phil on another forum, I cannot say for sure this is the same Phil as the owner but it would seem so.

That's a big bottle of hot air, sounds like a record I heard about recently.
