They tuned it.. I'm not certain how much other speedriven products were or are on this SL600.. Speedriven doesn't BS on track data period... Texting Marcin, now for rest of info.. Look @ Dragtimes page it has Speedriven BUILT ENGINE, Speedriven Intercoolers, Speedriven built Trans, Speedriven Tuned, Spdrvn TB, etc Actual owners name etc etc.. This isn't planted by anyone but the actual owner/driver Phil Nuciola..

I was talking to Phil today, the owner of the SL600, he told me the first setup he did was he had a buddy did twin Garret GTX 4294 turbos and Speedriven tuned it, but he had some problems at the high RPMs where the car would die off. But he's having the car shipping off to Speedriven next week for even bigger turbos with the whole kit this time being built inhouse with custom built engine.
As an update on my car I'm picking it up either tonight or tomorrow depending if Jeremy at OE tuning gets the final tuning done. All the issues like high IATs, messed up fuel trims, etc is all fixed now.

When Phil got it it just had the intercoolers, intakes, ecu, tcu. If I remember right all he did to it was turbos and did more cosmetic stuff to the car, but he's gonna call me back later today since I was really busy yesterday. Now plans to overhaul the whole car.

Another car you know nothing about and have never seen yet making bold statements. Some people never learn. This one stripped with speaker wire too? 
We should just wait for the owner to chime in

Hopefully we can get some more details about the car. I'm guessing it is a 600 and the 65 badges were just put on

Better idea, dump ur hoopty & go buy a 600/65 
obviously ur 10.x record is no more Do u care to guess what this 600 would run @ ur Field of Dreams
MIR or Atco in Nov Neg DA? It only out weighs ur stripped bucket by 1500-odd lbs..
You use the word "obviously" when guessing? Another car you know nothing about and have never seen yet making bold statements. Some people never learn. This one stripped with speaker wire too?
When was the last time you saw it?

My runs were in positive DA btw. And STILL trapped higher than your dream V12 big turbo car onthe first day of tuning at only 17PSI...Put your money where your mouth is instead of just spewing **** from it. I bet you any amount of money that car doesn't outweigh mine by 1500 pounds. Plus I've only been to the track one day to tune my built motor setup. Wait for it, you will have to come up with new accusations of a car you've never seen. Ironic that you of all people who NEVER runs any fast times always has something to say. Check the sig. Not responding to you unless you put up money on that 1500 pound bet

What record is that exactly? He broke my 55 record? You do know you need a 55 motor to beat the 55 record right? My runs were in positive DA btw. And STILL trapped higher than your dream V12 big turbo car onthe first day of tuning at only 17PSI...

Yes the owner is out in AZ, Phil managed to call me right when I finished a meeting, and we talked for about 20 mins before he had to go to a meeting, its seems we are both really busy since we are pretty much in the same industry. Phil is pretty busy and prefers to talk on the phone then send text messages since hes a much older guy so it's kinda hard to get a hold of him sometimes so that's prob why he's not on the forums
He prob trapped better because the car didn't die on him. I asked about what else he did he said built trans with manual valve body and high stall torque converter. He said he launches it at 3200 rpm and uses 345 drag tires on 18s in the rear but its not stripped, I'll ask him to see if he can have someone take a video of the car making a pass, but hes trying to go all out with his next build with built engine, turbo upgrades, etc for the texas mile but I don't wanna go into details what he wants to do since I figured he should get it done and let him make a pass.

Mine or the 600? On mine Zor Turbo made the custom billet wheel since non of the wheels they carry for garret would work, on Phil's car he had a buddy that mocked up his twin garret turbo set up.
