it was rolling on 2nd gear 70km/h(45mph) this what the M3 wanted,when we did it on 1st gear 40km/h directly the E55 pulled the M3 3car length(because M3 has to shift to 2nd gear)

The gearing in the e55 is a nice advantage. I ran against my friend with a 04 ESS M3 with the 550hp kit. and was slightly pulling on him with just a tune.

You are talking about two very different cars, an e46 m3 vs an e92 m3. The gearing not to mention the dct of the newer m3 is a huge advantage over the e55s. An ess 625 m3 is a low to mid 500s whp car with a transmission that shifts brutally fast. This was a great kill for the e55.

I actually owned one, and wasn't that impressed with it. A properly modded e55 is definitely quicker!

So a car with a pulley and a tune jumps from 470hp to around 620hp or more.

Seriously?

am sorry, but no way you are running a real 520 whp consistently and safely with just a pulley and tune.

I think your dyno is very kind to you

Just a very quick reference on dyno jets:
  • Stock 410-430whp
  • Pulley tune 440-470 (based on size, but bigger = more power, faster heat soak)
  • with TB and Headers (LT)/ exhaust work your around 490-530 whp

your telling me you have as much power as a pulley, TB, LT header/exhust and tune car

This car platform is not new by a long shot, so it is very highly unlikly, but hey so long as you are having fun
