As always you can go the Brabus route. But I think you might be better probably doing custom stuff. I'm not sure what is available 'off the shelf' for the car.

MKB & Brabus do/have both done extensive work on the SLR.

I have never seen or heard of any aftermarket Kleeman work on an SLR.

I have never seen or heard of any any RennTech work on the car.

I am unaware of any Carlsson options available in the USA.

Have you considered a 722 Edition?

In terms of airflow the blower is limited to about 750HP, after that custom turbo/s will be the route to go.

Hey Clay did you get your 722 Edition with painted rims yet?

I would be fine with 750hp. What mods are required? Can everything else handle the power?

How fast is your Diablo with nitrous? Any mods done to the Lambo yet? Got a pretty good stable.

Ive actually sold my Diablo and Murcielago. I just havent updated my profile. The Diablo was incredible, on nitrous, I ran as much as a 200shot of nitrous, and from a roll I raced my buddies 9 sec 139mph Mustang and beat him from 30mph to 150mph pretty well. It was a great car and never gave me any problems. I sold my Murcielago to get a Murcielago Lp640, but right now, i think I will get an SLR as the Murcielagos are too overpriced for what you get over the old Murcielago. I also have a 2006 Gallardo SE 6 speed.

More boost from bigger crank pulley, ported heads with bigger cams and software. McLaren took care of all other restrictions - intercoolers and headers.

Stock car makes around 520HP at the wheels, getting to 630-640HP would be achievable.

I can still do it through evosport.

To me it is more like a new INtake or INput.
