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.

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 ?

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.
