e55-to k2, or not to k2...that is my question?

running stock. any issues w k2 and mods as it relates to heat soak, warranty or anything else. what is the torque & hp gain and how does it correlate to 60 mph & 1/4 mi. time differentials. friend of mine has v10/m5 and amg too-mentioned that a k2 e55 is about as quick as anything on the road...what is the cost? anyway just traded a e39/m5 w/ dinan charge for my '05/e55-new owner and finally found my way home to merc-anything to make the new "home" more cozy and pleasantly frightful? any slight mods beside full k2 which would provide nice hp gain as well w/out any potential issue (if any) of full-k2... thanks all.

The K2 is an absolute blast!!
The install was seamless and NO issues!
Make sure you also do the IC pump upgrade as that insures 100% consistent
power w/out any heatsoak issues.

The biggest challenge after K2 is traction!!
First gear "lights up" at ANY speed
2nd gear rolling from speed 20-35 mph will break loose the tires

Is it worth it ......YES!!!
Now I've caught the bug... (My wife to me)

DO it unless you wear a skirt. If you wear a skirt, then still do it.
