sl65
i ran with the 103 octane, did not notice much, i was more consistant, 7.4 in 1/8th 1.77 60ft had a 7.36 with 97.84 mph. I called bogart, they said they made rims for a sl600, do you have a sl 600 or sl65? will the custom rims fir the sl65? also , i spoke with a tec he said the best thing to do is to put a relay on the fan switch to keep it on while the car is off, and to make 160 theramastat. do you know who makes thermastats for the sl65?
