Veloce-Tuned SL55

Hi, Dino.

Saw this in another forum and wanted to ask, what do you have planned for this car?

He curently has a fair number of mods. I am waiting for the entire list, as well as his dynos......but in short, we are going to see where he is at, and try to optimize his setup to give him the best performance possible.

Did you get your parts? When do you want to do your car?

I've already done a fair number of mods: VRP 80 mm TB, VRP airbox, VRP belt wrap, VRP phenolic spacers, SLR cams, Evosport headers, Quaife LSD, Speedtuning USA ECU tune. Those have dropped my 1/4 mile time down to 12.1.

Just trying to decide what to do next, if anything. An oversize pulley is a fairly obvious choice and should enable me to drop another 0.2 or so. But it's a long way from 11.9 to 11.5 which is why I was curious about your plan.
