More Mods !!

I was hoping this New Year will bring us more mods to do

I guess we are maxed out already on the 55

Only thing left that I could to is cams but not worth the cash for few HP.


I really dont want to move away from 55 and love the Beast.

Any Tuners out there with some new toys for us?

Sounds like the only responsible thing to do now is one off top mount intercoolers.

Do you have the sauce on deck? A nice 100 pills for the high HP exotics would be just tasty.

This is what someone with FU money needs to step up and do haha. Does anyone even know the upper limits of the stock internals on a proper tune?

How about rebuilt engine new pistons, rods, crankshaft with reasonable price. Vath have good kit for that to bring the motor to 5.8L using new pistons, crankshaft, cams they quate me 9800 Euro for that . too much expensive.

If it can be done on any other shop for 1/4 the price that would be awesome. I have seen the thread of bring the engine to 5.7L but no real update at the end. It would be fantastic if we could rebuilt our engine with bigger size to get more power and more importantly is to enable the engine to handle more power too
