Sounds lovely! It takes a while to come off revs and calm down though!!
I wish Petrol was cheap in the UK.. i'd buy a big V8 and go nuts with it too!

I knew someone would ask me about the gains. Honestly, I don't know. Only baseline I have is turkey5(torquey5) when I went up against him a couple of months back. Being that he has a modified 550i with straight pipes, he beat me good up top. I'm hoping the rematch will at least make me even with him. Not the best way to gauge gains, but it's better than nothing.
Yes, I know I should've dyno'ed the car before doing all the performance mods, but the only chance I had was canceled and I never got around to scheduling another dyno day.

Sounds sick ! 
vt, cai ? the air filter seems to be drawing air from inside the engine compartment (more or less) - what am I missing ?

I have to agree. I believe the heat soak will prevail. But it does look good.

If anyone wants to get together for a mini-meet next month with hollywoodtrash and I, I'll be back in LA on the weekend of August 24th - 26th. Steven, you can check out the AFE CAI then. More detail to come later.
