What a terrific thread. Has potential to be a classic.
Make a vette faster in 6th gear races on the cheap by relabeling 5th gear. 5th is the new 6th.
I had an N54 335i. So sick of hearing about how fast those cars are. I had meth, all the bolt ons, JB4, stock turbos...could only get 12s @ 114 out of it. And that whole crowd uses STD dyno numbers that hype up the numbers by 10-15 over the SAE numbers everyone else uses. 430 rwhp in a 3600 lb car is decent but about the same power to weight as a stock LS3 base vette.
