all this is funny talk about if you had this and that...single turbo this and that...yadda yadda if you had all this you would destroy those cars.
but think about if that 5.0 had all the same mods then it would destroy you if you had the same mods lol. everybody just has to get over trying to be the most powerful because you will lose to a bigger engine...thats why people get bigger engines to get more power and thats all there is to it. the 5.0 is just that much bigger of an engine and to beat it you will have to do some expensive modding for bmws and if you put the same amount of money into a 5.0 i can guarantee that you will lose on a straight line.

Agreed, the 5.0's are some serious rides. That engine has been around for a very long time (in various forms) and there are TONS of (relatively) cheap aftermarket upgrades. Sink the same amount of money on the 5.0 as you would on a 335, and be prepared for a handful if you decide to race. Also, gone are the days when they were just dragstrip queens; with minimal suspension tweaks, they're beasts on the track.
I'm FBO with Cobb Stage 2+, upgraded suspension, tires, etc, and will be at the track next weekend running against a few of them. I'm not expecting to walk all over them. |

Not the coyote, but the 5.0...NOT the 4.6. The 5.0 has been around for Ford forever.

Yea I find it hard to believe. We dipped into the mustang market a while back and like I said even with just an intake you need a tune. Unless you get like the air raid intake or a bolt ons that claims "no tune required".
Like I said if hes not running a tune, then he should, they are relatively cheap, send him my way They have tunes set up for each one of your mods. Quote:
Whatever power its actually making its a beast from a dig, even with stock tires. Fun car going straight but I just cant drive one, its too sloppy to me despite its stellar numbers at road courses. |

Yep, full exhaust and an intake brings them to 400+ rwhp. Ford factory tuning is sloppy and shitty too |

I dont know anyone here, I have no reason to lie lol..besides someone on this forum bought my car..once he gets it tuned he should be able to vouch for how fast that 335i is..I had some of the best parts you can get for the N54..whether or not it makes a difference I dont know, some people may say that I overpaid but I believe you get what you pay for, and my 335i was fast |
