Hurry up and sell it

Only $3000 in deposit and the rest you pay when it's ready
Will the price be less for a 530i? I'm very interested, if you can beat ESS TS2's pricing and power output 340Bhp. I will put a deposit down right away, I was going to buy an ESS's Twin screw supercharger, but if VFE Engineering is a better deal, count me in.

As of right now...I don't have the pricing just yet for the 530i's just for all the V8 guys.

When do you think it will be in production, and how much hp/torque gains are expected?

All they need to do is tune it with GIAC and it'll be done...I don't have the specs on this particular model. Sorry

I'd be on this like white on rice to install it in the 5'er, but my mom would beat me over the head with the transmission if I did so (5'er is her car). Our 'arrangement' is any upgrades I want to do to the cars are fine (since I'm buying them) but she has to like how it will change the characteristics. I've already installed the aFe CAI via Trinity and a B&B exhaust via Bavauto and she likes it.

Kicking her car from 330HP to 400+ might be a hard sell though.

Joe, I didn't see any pictures of an intake on the first page. Does the 5PSI boost get away with just the stock intake box?

You may use the AFE intake as well on this. The 450-500 hp will be fine for the transmission that is why they are not going over 500 crank hp. They said once it hit's 550 crank then they got some issues.

Keep the car and slap the SC on

The speed limiter will be removed.
