Cat-Less/3"dwn pipes/3"str8 piped/no muff/ecu/tcu/Q16 fuel/res full of ice..

702 rwhp 876 rwtq dyno to follow, new 4" tubing 1-off CAI/massive HE/etc "Video turn up speakers!" (doesnt do it justice but you get the gen idea) I filmed/talked while shop owner hucked revs..

Higher res (slightly, Iphn)
Sounds better w/headphones, unless in person it literally is just flat obnoxious when on throttle, then instant Clark Kent off go-pedal (ZERO DROAN, unless ur a geeky/pesky pencil neck who doesn't LOVE V12 TT thundaaarr)

Damn Iphone on standard low def, will make much better vid w/Sony hi-def 5.1 Dolby Cam tamara after gym...Sorry for build up, sounds WAY better than vid posted above tot lame argh..

Damn you for making me want to mod more.

That sounds ****ing awesome! And 702 RWHP and 876 RWTQ? That's damn near 850hp and over 1,000 tq at a 15% drivetrain loss. Holy ****!

Good thing you got the widebody and widerims to put all that power to the ground.

Can't wait until you run this thing down the 1/4.

it's getting worse after Speedriven GT3582R's Tho I'll swear I was giddy as a 10 yr old running my bicycle w/deck a playing cards stuck in the spokes, Marcin is very Conservative w/hp/tq gains he quoted 15-20 rwhp after cat delete (remember SL600/65 have 1 big pair, not actual quads. SOTP told me it was much more) Then Dyno'd w/Q16 for perspective same dyno w/cats & ice just 100 oct made 633 rwhp, now 702 rwp def wicked on surface streets noise is INTIOXICATING, Homeless style bearded Harley dudes were gawkin' ricers, were NOT even atempting to run me, I kicked it sidewayzz @ 65+ mph & ricer just

You have a custom ECU tune from Speeddriven that allows you to switch maps depending on what type of fuel you are running correct?

Sean can you spell out your current mods list and post up the dyno that got you to 702 rwhp 876 rwtq again just to be clear.

If you broke them out do you know what each mod gave you in gains ?

Thanks
