Anything up to ~600hp at crank is possible without NOS and without touching internals ...

If you want 600+ you need to change cams. If you want more than than that then NOS can take you to 750hp - thats roughly how much DerickFSU's E55 made in his 10.95 qtr run ... with juice.

750hp seems to be limit at mom given tranny etc etc.

Who ... ? Renntech, Evosport, Kleemann (seems most popular), MKB, Wetterauer, DMS, ASP.

What ...? headers, exhausts, pulleys, cams, throttle bodies, software...

I just installed an ASP pulley on my E55 and I think it was the best $800 ever spent. Throttle response is much better and the car is definately faster.

I asked the same question as well, fellow member said you have to call in ASP to order directly.

My friend has account with ASP pulley, anyone interested let me know I will see if we can get some type of group buy going. I am not looking to install one yet, but don't mind buying one first and install later.

I'm ready for an ASP pulley too - count me in if we beat the quoted $799 by more than 50 bucks. Otherwise I'll just order one.

how many pounds of boost does the ASP pulley pump out? Also is your car tuned? or just the pulley?

Just the pulley. I believe its 17% overdrive. Doesn't require any reprogramming, but it does run a little rich so a reprogram will probably get a few extra HP.
