Upgrades
my wallet are ithcing for upgrades.
Need opinion from everyone.
1. Upgrade using ESS new E55 ECU. Which claims will allow up to 14PSI boost and output of 540 HP at crank.
2. Go the Kleeman route and upgrade to possible 640 hp.
Don't have pricing on either one of them yet. I have send in request.

I thought factory boost for the V8k is already 14psi (1bar)?????
Anyway, for kompressed cars, you can't just reprogram the ECU for more boost. You need to replace the pulley that drives the blower.
I'd suggest RENNtech.
