My SLS BS has arrived
Picked it up this morning and it is already on a dyno and being tuned by Steve at Weistec as I type this. We did a baseline pull and will follow up with some post tune pulls.

I did not ship it anywhere, Weistec flew out here to Chicago to tune it. Just an ecu tune and some filters right now. I am going to enjoy it a couple weeks before shipping it off the Weistec for the big HP mods.

Wow... looks great Jim! Can't wait to see the numbers. Thanks for getting baselines before tunes... such an important but overlooked thing.

Hi Jim, congratulations on its arrival. You have it to give us some first impressions and comparisons - that's if you can even remember what your other 2 bs felt like stock.
Do you think you will pick up an SL65 BS ?

Congrats.
I can't believe you did not leave it stock and enjoy it a bit before doing mods.
Jealous in a good way. Enjoy it and give us some feedback

Amazing car, but I'm going to go back to the w211 section where I don't feel as poor. Lol

Awesome color for the SLSBS. You my friend are just a tad crazy, in a good way.

I was hoping your BS would have arrived in time for you to show it off at the PL Road Atlanta gathering.
