I totally agree with that statement. I guess my point is that a 15% pulley an exhaust and an intake with software is probably not going to bust the 200 whp mark

12%, Dynojet Dyno, 74 degrees ambient temp (might be 78), 91 Octane gas. Honestly the big difference in my factor vs. most of what I am seeing here is the Software.

I will see if I cant find the Dyno's, but in a few weeks I will be doing another one as the weather cools down. Although I am not at the coveted 200whp, it is still pretty respectable. I dont claim to be a high horsepower road racer with a ton of mods. I do know that the pulley added 19-21 HP from baseline, the Alta CAI added 11-12HP on top of the pulley, and the software added another 13HP, with the addition of the injectors we saw a 6-7HP gain over the previous numbers bringing it to ~221 Crank HP. I hope this explains some. These are real numbers that all the manufacturers and customers have seen with the above mods, I am not exaggerating the numbers, and realize you would like proof. i will see what i can dig up, or get you a new Dyno in the near future.

The M7 car barely getting to 200 is very real.

Exactly, as I still have 6-8HP to go, and honestly without a Downpipe and Cams I dont see it happening, but at that point I am afraid of messing with driveability. Rustyboy155's numbers are SWEET though! Wish I could be there

I don't think it's possible to break the 200 HP mark without opening up the engine and doing some major work. Maybe with software, a pulley, CAI, Water to air intercooler, new throttle body, and some bigger injectors you could get close, but I don't know...

Thanks :smile: I'm loving it, just waiting to burn through these crappy runflats so I can get some tires that can put the power down.

It all sounds pretty good to me. For what it's worth,....I have Webb M S head with a schrick street cam and I think the driveability is excellent.

Yea it drives great, my only complaint is a very short first gear, but that has more to do with the shorter gearset that was installed. It pulls like crazy if I wind 1st out from 2500 RPM's or so though, I'll spin tires halfway through second (Yea runflats suck ). I'm coming from a '95 M3, so i'm definatly a fan of fast cars :smile:.
