I finally did it and did a little modification to my baby. Put a Kleeman stage 1 boost kit on her. Best money I've ever spent. It is definately seat of the pants faster and feels like it wants to tear the asphalt up with the rear tires. Its nasty quick now in my opinion. Good stuff. It may be my imagination but it sounds better now too, with a little more superchrger whine, which i like.

What consists of a Stage 1 upgrade? I.E. Pulley, ecu?

Its a larger crank pulley, ecu tune, and high flow air filters. I am still amazed at the 60-90 mph highway pulls, it actually tosses my head back. I can see how the mods can be addicting. Cost roughly $3100 installed.

Nice! Absolutely addicting just like you said though. If you go for another round of mods, you are going to want to think about keeping that SC cool especially with the extra boost. I always thought my exhaust sounded a little throatier after the mod, but most people say no.

Not to hijack your thread, but this is most likely what your SC sounds like to people that are getting smoked by your SL. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wd3Tfq2JlG0

My exhaust note in the vid is probably a little louder than normal because of headers and secondary cat deletes.
