Not that impressed

I have a 2005 e55 with 75000 ks on it I have done plm heat exchanger , Bosch 010 , split cooling , headers , smaller supercharger pulley and belt wrap kit and a dyno tune, worst thing about it all is you go to do a burnout and one wheel lights up 🤦‍♂️ I thought I would have a bit. MOre power also

Check your Bosch 010 and make sure it is working properly, and replace the Intake Air Temp Sensor (@$10). The Aux Coolant pump feeds the intercooler, so when they go bad your intake temps go up and the engine will retard timing and/or shut off the supercharger. Check the fuse for starters and make sure it is getting power. Intake Air Temp Sensor goes bad over time and starts reading incorrectly, affecting the tune. Both cases are possible with no codes showing.

Peg-leg burnouts require a bit more expense to correct.

CLS55
he’s making 470 at the wheels which is ok for his mods. maybe you need to go all out or upgrade to a better platform like the V2

Better cooling like KC, trunk tank and meth solves all issues.

burnouts made easier by more power but to really get both spinning add an LSD

CL55
On my CL55 if I put in dyno mode it does one wheel peel but if I just click the traction "off" button it does them good you just have to have good throttle control and keep it in first gear.

My car did burnouts stock just fine. Also both my wheels spin if on smooth pavement. If it's an old rough road sometimes only one tire spins. Make sure you do it in S mode or Manual.

Yep, I had far too much fun 'on my way' to Costco for new tires last week. Gotta make the most of them right?

That said check your tire wear too, I had pretty bad inner camber wear on the right rear and that one slipped a bit easier. Now with new Michelin 4 S tires (and proper alignment) my grip is far better (and even).
