Is there any advantage to a tune on a 100% stock E55? I want to retain the reliability of a stock car, as I am not going to race it. Just looking for a good kick in the pants when I bury my foot in it occasionally. Also, is there any advantage to putting a higher capacity intercooler water pump on the same stock car?

Very good to hear. Mind if I ask what the cost of the tune was complete with before and after dyno?

Thanks!

Doug you need to click on the link HeissRod provided and read a bit. As far as the price, it is best to contact tuner directly.

Most mail order tunes run around 400. Some are less. I got a great deal on mine

Check around and stick with proven tuners with good results

Upgraded heat exchanger, inter cooler pump and a tune will net a nice performance increase.

I'm sorry, but $2800 for some long tube headers from mbhmotorsports is ridiculous. Anyone have any real numbers from the eurocharged headers?

Long tube headers also transform the car sooooo...my car is much more enjoyable on the top end with long tubes.

They are the best and you Will get the results. Too rich for my blood. But that's cheap you want to see ridiculous look at renntech prices. $1400 for an intercooler pump.

Just like you I'm originally from the American car market. You know the difference between a mid length to a long tube header is minimum at best as long as your comparing primary and collector size. 2 grand extra for 20 extra hp is a tough pill to swallow.

And as long as someone is stupid enough to spend $1400 on a intercooler pump, they will keep those prices.
