Greed, my friend. I have the same desire for more and more power.

I don't think anybody's done this on an SL65 specifically but it has been done on an S600 and plenty of E55's and even a few SL55's. It can definitely be done.

It can be done. I have had several clients do it.

I advised each of them that they should put some money aside to take a high performance driver's school instead, and that will do more to maximize the car's performance that nitrous. ...... but it can be done.

Contact Brad at www.evosport.com. They did it on the SL 55 and it was a beautiful set-up. Do a search and you will find pictures of the car.

I would do a Renntech or Kleemann package or something like that first. You will be amazed at the difference it makes.

VRP is working on a 1,000hp kit without nitrous, that is a much better way to go. They will also strengthen the transmission, otherwise it will not handle the torque and you'll be stuck with a $30,000 bill to replace it.

I think nitrous oxide would run excellent on this car. Get the tranny strengthened and don't run DR's at the track. You'll have an insanely fast street machine. I'm a big fan of n2o btw. The only reason people don't like it is because they either don't understand it, or they just think in their minds that its cheating or a cheap hp fix. I love the stuff.
