Ha Hey whats up? He came into my bar the other day and threw that dinner plate of a pulley at me! That thing is huge! He is supposed to call the installer on Wednesday to see when he can get it in, then we will be off to get it tuned! He's nuts for wanting to drive that beast with the S/C in the snow! He just wants to be faster than me. He just ordered a cam and it came in yesterday too!

Naw he's going to need more than that! He's trying though! He bought the blower from a fabricator in cali. He then had a local auto specialist fab all of the piping and such. I believe he had ASP make the crank shaft pulley for the blower, other than that we have done most of the work ourselves..

No problem, love the discussion. I currently am stock with no money to go faster
I sure do love my e55 though! If I hit the lottery I will do everything you guys have done to my car, but for now I need to pay the last bit off over the next 2 years.

Have done a ton of exterior mods though and the car looks really cool. In about six weeks I am going to have my grill blacked out and tail lights smoked at HMS! I wanted to do the badges also but I cannot afford $500 for new badges which is ridiculous (they said they cannot be reused). I have a feeling though that after reading some threads that people have done it with no issues, so I might try and see what happens, but I do not want to hurt my baby!

Hey guys. I hit 160 today on the freeway for about 30 seconds and it felt great! My previous high was 140 for about 10 seconds, but it felts so good this time! The thing is though, I did not have pedal full floored so I think it easily could have done 180 to 200! I thought these cars are restricted to like 155 or something? Let me know.

So about $300 total with all the badges. It is still expensive and the company must have been trying to make money off of me on the badges! I believe the badges off eBay are fakes from China so the quality is not the same as the original, plus I do not want to have a extremely expensive car and than skimp on real badges.
