Thanks! It was literally a case of me going "I sold 3, that's 2 cores per car, order 6 ..." and them going "OK, he ordered 6, that's 2 cores per car, send him 12." Gotta make them go away.

You're looking at 675-700 HP, all else being stock. You can check out some of the PKGs here: http://speedriven.wpengine.com/merce...es/sl600-r230/

Thanks for the reply, but I would still like to know the incremental increase from the just the intercooler and intake upgrade. I already have a tune and running approx. 625 at the crank. If I can get another 75+ HP, then it becomes interesting, 50 HP or less maybe not so compelling.

690 - 625 = 65

Keep in mind, we rate our PKGs pretty conservatively precisely for a number for reasons. Availability of good fuel isn't universal, for example, and someone running Shell 93 on a cool day in the midwest will see better dyno numbers than someone running Wal-Mart 91 on a hot day in California, you know? That's why we quote a range, not a single number.

Thanks to the great response from this sale, we sold all three sets- the last delivered a few days ago. We'll be putting more on the shelf this month, so PM me if you missed out on this sale. We'll keep this pricing going through the end of April.
