SLR Production and Renntech

It's been asked a couple of times, but no real definitive answers have popped up. Can anyone fill in the missing coupe and roadster numbers:

Total number: 2114 or 2153 depending on source
Coupes -- ????
Roadsters -- ???
722 - 150
722s - 150
Sterling Moss - 75

Renntech perf PKG1 and LSD mods soon. Will report on results.

With lots of digging and various assumptions, this is where I've gotten so far in trying to sort out numbers:

ALL SLRS
Normal coupe - 1050
722 Coupe - 150
Normal roadster - 728
722S roadster - 150
Stirling Moss - 75
Total - 2153

USA SLRS
Normal coupe - 458
722 Coupe - 25
Normal roadster - 204
722S roadster - 25
Total - 712

Have no idea how close these numbers might be.

SLR on the way to Renntech today!

Received today and took out for a quick ride...massive, suck back in your seat, almost instant, smooth acceleration to 6000 RPM!

Tune and LSD appear to work pretty well together!

Now, SLR will go back to McLaren MSO in the UK to become ~700hp/~700tq SLR McLaren-McLaren Edition. SLR will receive:
- a new aero package resulting in 15% improvement in down force over the 722 Edition
- new suspension and dampers
- redesigned steering
- 10mm lower ride height
- lower weight
- redesigned body in line with latest McLaren designs including -- front and rear of SLR, new front and rear diffusers, new hood louvers, new side louvers, new louvers/ducting added above/behind front wheels ala 722GT, and new larger rear air brake
- new ceramic coated lightweight sports exhaust
- repaint
- Result: 1 of only 25 McLaren Editions to be built

Congrats on taking the bold step to dramatically mod your SLR with the McL Edition changes. 1 of 25 will be the special of the already special. What RENNtech mods did you do that resulted in the 12% HP and 10% torque increases?

The SLR is the reason I play the powerball lottery. Is there a recommended service interval for changing the Kompressor oil? For my E55 they are saying it is not necessary?
