I have been driving it all weekend, including back and forth from SD to LA...and it is ridiculous. Now, I've never driven a Ferrari, Lambo, Viper or Vette...but the power and speed of my car now is mind boggling (for me...maybe not for those of you who race for a living or ride around in SLR McClarens...). Also, that Stage 5 flash really makes it growl, especially on the low end of the RPMS...

Im not exactly sure since I have chosen not to dyno it (because for me, its not about the numbers but about the drive), but on top of stock, all of these mods plus my Renntech Stage 1 w/ Crankshaft pulley + Eisenmann Racing Exhaust, I think Im easily 160hp+ over stock....ASSUMING STOCK IS AROUND 469HP

Congrats on unleashing the beast, most E55's are underrated at the 469bhp number and actually are closer to 500 hp. So while your gains are gonna be up there, I dont think you have 700 crank hp with your mods.

Wouldn't you have to rework the heads and higher performance camshafts to get near 700

as you can see in my earlier posts, I corrected my estimate. I was also basing it off of the gains provided by Renntech and Evosport.
