If not, two letters can help you out ... S B
Sprint Booster is the ticket. Acceleration is much better with it.

that is very true. my 535 doesnt cut it. maybe a JB3 can fix that for a short period of time. i could get an M5 and that would suffice for a few months...

Really? Your 535 isn't enough? I think it's above average for anyone, no matter what you're driving that's got more. An F430? An M5? I'm pretty sure those drivers would feel less power, but it would be hard to argue anything with the N54 engine "isn't enough." I'm sure you're just trying to explain how our hunger for more power grows, but there's reasons why the N54 has won engine of the year.. three times now?

And I'm looking into the JB3 as well. Of course it will add more power, but I don't have 700 bucks right now. But when I do......

i am just trying to explain i my desire for more power, of course it is "sufficient". I dont want to dump $700 right now either.

I couldn't agree more. My 550 has tons of power but I always want more. I'm sure that if I had a M%, I'd be saying the same thing in a few months. Now if I only could plunk down $1.5 million for the Bugatti Veyron.......

Seriously, you will only know if it has enough power for you when you drive it.
