After numerous issues with the HE, it was left out of the build, but the car is still making ridiculous power.

The final list includes:
  • Kleemann Headers
  • 3" Magnaflow 200 cell cats
  • 3" X-pipe
  • 3" Exhaust from headers to mufflers (big *** pipe)
  • ASP 180mm Pulley
  • Magnecor Wires
  • NGK 3764 PLugs
  • CM30 Pump
  • LET tune (coming tomorrow)
  • KN Air Filters
  • TVT Design Intake Tubes
  • -10 Fan Mod
  • Modded T-stat

The car sounds awesome, idles perfectly smooth, and no CEL. When you get on it though its a whole new beast. I'll let Kevin go into more detail when he picks it up. For now here's a teaser pic.

When is he coming to get it? I wanted to stop down and see it.


Also, what issues with the H/E?

I will be picking the car up and going to the dyno shop tomorrow morning. Can't wait to drive the car. I will drive it for a few weeks and if we feel the need for the heat exchanger, I will just have Anthony order it at that point.

Really looking forward to driving it.

Intake tubes are 3" Aluminum. They connect to the stock airbox and butt right up to the inlets near the radiator.

Ok, results are in and damn do these cars make power. 485.49 Hp/ 593.82 TQ.

According to Jerry at LET that is the record for a pulley, tune, and Headers car. We DO NOT have a HE on this car.

Man I wish it wasn't raining. The car sounds like a beast, but with all this rain, I can't get on it. At 75 mph on the highway, I give it half throttle and the car looses traction. Crazy!
Hopefully the weather will get better tonight or tomorrow.

Nice bump in POWER and that TQ will need Drag Radials for the street.

DROVE THE CAR TONIGHT, AND HOLY S#$T. The power comes on like a freight train. I need new tires really bad! Just not sure if PS2's will hold up. Should I just go with drag radials on the rear? Can I drive every day with them? I need something thats going to give me traction!

All you tri-state E55 owners don't hesitate to call and set up an appointment.

ps2 gave me much more improved grip..sadly not enough for the beast. So you will have to learn to feather it or you will be going side ways alot
