Exactly. In a car of the size and weight of the E60, a 10 bhp gain would not be very noticeable.

 

When I was dragging my mustang back in the day, the only way that I could really tell if the HP was there is by 1/4 times at the track or dyno. I think that your first reaction will be the car pulls harder but I think you will say that because you modded it. The only real test is to say race a friend a few times and then race again after the mod to see if you gain any.

 

+1,000

 

+1

Maybe the sprint booster is all psychological too becuase it gives you zero horsepower but it feels like it gained 50 hp haha LOL

 

Bulldog,
See what you started?

 

Where's that popcorn-eating smiley?

 

Hang on, lemme find it....... Dammit, don't have one!!! This is gonna be fun anyway

 

To further complicate the matter.... the same effect as 10 bhp could come from making the car lighter. For example, if you could loose a couple of pounds your car would indeed go faster!

Or ask the passengers to loose weight before allowed to travel in your car.



Or just stop having passengers. I mean... what do they actually add to the driving experience?!?

 

I was wondering when someone was going to make the distinction between the wheel and the crank.

I think the non-Ms, it would be noticeable, but what's more important, I think, is torque, which is probably what you feel at the seat of your pants. HP can influence torque, but 10 hp may not do something significant. Still, I'm sure you would feel it. What about something like a BMS air filter, a cold air intake and rpi scoops? Should be, what, atleast a boost in 20hp? You should be able to feel that for less than $300. I think that would be worth it; I know that's really what I'm leaning towards now, although I shift my list-of-wants alot. So while 10 may not be a whole lot, couple it with a few other things and it could add up fast and really make a difference.
