The m5 e39 motor is much more advanced then our 4.4 motors and its priced at 10g, hence 4.4 s/c better be ALOT less than 10gs, else you might as well, sell your car, and spend that money towards a m5! 5-6g is more than reasonable MR. ESS sir.

Look forward to the info on the blower kit.
But have to ask, what is being done to manage fuel?
And the dyno doesn't make sense to me. The car only put down 230whp on a chip? I guess I am not seeing the gains in the graph. Corrected engine hp around 330hp according to the graph - that is crank hp right?
