Let me see what I can do. I just need to dodge rain over the next three days. I do have some vacation in a week or so and should be able to get some stuff then.

Now thats power. Have you spoken w/ Max Boost on here? I know he goes by other names on the vette forums but he doenst want his real name on this board. He has a 1000whp+ vette that is probably going to end up around 1200whp when he's done. He's at 1000whp at 5000rpms or so at this point and having ecu issues. Guess they didnt make that car to know how to handle that much power!!

Oh it can handle the power. I have the only C6 Torque converter . I was the test guy for my setup . Works perfect and a 10.32 1/4 mile. As for the C5 it has a C6 motor and at 12psi its at 1000rwhp. The kit goes up to 32psi..... Ive boosted to 18 and its insanely fast.

Im actually waiting delivery this weekend of my 335xi and id like to do something to it, just undecided i guess. I will probably go with JB2 since it seems like the most reputable one. I dont really like the procede, not for me. Doesnt sound like the tune is as good a JB2 IMO. Ill know when i get JB2 and plug in my laptop if everything is ok with the tune.

To continue in the process of updating. I really got to drive the car very hard today and same stuff. No CEL, and a lot of power. On dry and clean roads, I got sideways shifting into third gear. You know I have to say, regardless of which tune you may choose, the car feel very strong. Not just in a horsepower sense, but the transmission, clutch, and feel from the engine. I think BMW really got it right on this car.

On a side note, no matter what I did (and I drove hard for about 40 minutes), I could not get the oil temperature above about 240 degrees.

Same here, I have yet to get any CELs or problems so far. Temp hasnt surpassed 245 yet. JB2H has been absolutely perfect...knock on wood. I am going to install the R-switch and VIP CAI later this week hopefully and then take it back to the Dyno. Cant wait.

FWIW, What part of the East Coast are you from/live?

... then you'll find 1st and 2nd gears become useless with street tires. Great stuff!

Very true. I am struggling just with JB2H and 2nd cat deletes on RFTs. Thats why i will only run someone at 20mph/2nd gear and up. No dig launches for me until i get my 19" CSL's w/ General Exc. in January.

Sam: Are you running the R also? If so, how often do you run it?

I had the Hot Pill plus R switched on for about 4 weeks straight. I have to switch it off on 1st morning startup though, to avoid the ambient temp. sensor warning, with my newer ECU code. Then I can keep it on all day. Finally put in regular 91 pump gas and switched it off a few days ago due to rain.

I've been experimenting with all kinds of fuel mixes... and nothing I've tried causes limp modes during runs with the R switch...even running as low as calculated 94 octane mix. My only problem has just been lack of traction... not even 285 wide Bridgestone RE050As help... my 245 Kumho V710's are a little better.

I'll have my 275 drag radial setup ready for install hopefully sometime next week .
