ultimate downshift today!!!
I forgot how awesome our cars downshift since I always drive in M mode.I was doing about 55 mph and 2 cars tried to pass me before a huge 18 wheeler merged infront of us.
I nailed it and the car kicked down to second gear and got to like 120mph before the 18 wheeler even put on his signal.
the 2 cars were left 15cls back in less than 5 seconds
Did I mention how much I love the E55 again
Here is a teaser of my bottom end on 93oct and 178mm pulley

Did you end up going to a 185 viper?
My temps are okay but i dont drive it hard if its over 85 out anyway.im going to try and run the pump all the time to see if that helps any also.
I would go with a 182mm if i were to do it.that would be the sweet spot vs iats

I'm guessing you fixed the fluid issue?
Also, in that small portion from the dyno you posted, it looks like your car is trying to correct the ignition timing due to knock. Have you checked your timing retard via a scanner?

0 is where you should have it to check for knocking...it should be very smooth even in 0. Unbalanced wheels do show this sometimes though so it may be the problem and if you are sure it's safe then +1 for you...that's a lot of torque...lol.

yes I did end up going bigger. I did find running the pump all the time help. I think it help me more with the recover after a full out run.
