One Euro is approximately 1.30449 US Dollar - so multiply the Euro price by 1.3 to get a rough dollar value

Why spend 5K to boost the 530 when you could have got a 340hp V8 for that much more on a loaded sports package car?

thats very true and the problem is that the 5000$ kit only gives an additional 50 hp for the manual tranny and for the auto wich 90% of the ppl have gives u 20 to 30 extra ponnies due to the loss from the torque converter and this is to the crank not to the rear wheel so i think its an expensive and worthless uppgrade
