Approximate horsepower after mods
After owning the beast(MY2003) for about a year now and modded a few things, and it is kind of hard to find a dyno here, so could anyone estimate approximately how much power I should have, crank and wheel?
PLM header, second cat and resonator removed and replaced by x-pipe, PLM HE and Johnson CM30, Eurocharged tune, Eisenmann exhaust, K&N and 98 octane gas.
Also, it is getting some vibration during idle, i changed those rubber mounts already and still the same, so what could be the problem? Cracked piston?
Appreciated for any input, thanks.

Try changing your plugs, are you going to upgrade your pulley?

I would go for a pulley too! Are you in Hong Kong? Are there any Dynos there? I pass through Hong Kong every 2 months or so ... but only to get to China 
... stock car has 500HP? I thought it was 469?

There is a garage here which can do dyno, but it doesn't always available, I think I will try to do it once, just need to book them quite a long time before, once I have done sure will post the result here.
The beast is 469HP stock, just want to know about how much power I have after those mods before dyno, cus you know these guys here are real pro man

Do some diggin' around the forum fellas, the car is pushing 500hp stock. The 469 figure is marketing, if nothing else. Can't have the SL's and S's making the same horsepower as an E!

Cool thanks for the info .. guess I never really researched it. Nice to know! All I know is when I first got mine it felt fast ... now it feels slow. Time for some mods
LOL hopefully he didn't buy it in China ... famous for fake goods!

Sounds crazy but my E55 did the same exact thing, only when cold. Felt like one or two cylinders were not firing. I also had a totally different problem with the interior lights flickering slightly at idle. Changed the voltage regulator, fixed both problems PLUS the problem of my sunroof not auto closing AND my fixed the problem with my A/C not working on the highest speed. Totally serious, did the work myself.

For mods, check out what I have below and I dyno around 410whp out in Southern Cal, but the dyno at DynoComp here in the Valley, I'd dyno 100whp more since Hooleyboy has the same mods and is right around there.
