Help! Is my N54 slow after all these mods?

Hey, I have a 08' E92 335i with 90k miles. I Have a Stage-2 AFE Magnum Force intake, Cobb charge pipe, Cobb stage 1 tune, and a muffler delete. My 0-60 time is a 4.9 through 5.1 but I feel like it should be a little faster because of my mods. Any feedback for why It seems like I haven't picked up any horsepower or speed would be much appreciated. Thank you.

Ditch the cobb and go MHD stage 2+. That should put you where you want to be.

Stage 2+ is for upgraded downpipes and intercooler, of which OP has indicated neither.

I have Cobb catted downpipes which I have yet to install. If i install the dp’s and get a 5” VRSF fmic will that give me what i’m looking for? Thanks for your insight guys.

Just curious does upgraded fmic increase flow at all or just cooling ability?

It doesn’t increase flow if i can remember correctly, it just allows more wiggle room for an aggressive tune and helps w/ cooling

It lowers IAT and helps timing corrections. You are able to be more efficient as well. There's some "gains" in regards to that, but it helps tremendously with tuning too. Also, heat soak and back to back runs are more consistent.
