Rich ***** !

That is amazing

How was traction for you before with the 270RWHP? I wonder also how traction will be with now with the supercharger. I drove a 3.0si Z4 6speed manual yesterday and was surprised with how much traction it had ! Felt very planted to the extend that it was hard to get the tail out even at low speed. It felt like a roller coaster with the low ride position.

This was all part of a BMW event for breast cancer awareness Susan G Komen and they had an ALPINA B7 which I did not sign up for

I only realized how much power it had after I signed up. I saw it up close and the smart people that did sign up accelerate in it. The exhaust note and sheer acceleration of a 4500 lb monster was amazing !!! [BTW - They bent one of the 21 wheels the night before and it took them almost a day to get a replacement but they did. BMW did not spare any expense. I think one wheel was $4500

]

All the best.

Regards,
Loay

Great work guys, those figures are very close to my Dyno Dynamics figures and it looks factory neat.

HighBoostin330 · 11-14-2008, 05:36 PM

Geebus this thing is a torque monster!

It makes basically my power on half my boost levels. Shows how good ESS is at tuning. Major Kudos AJ!

AntB · 11-17-2008, 12:20 AM

Congrats, beautiful car as I said earlier. Definitely producing crazy levels of torque for such a small package! You might be needing some wider tires in the back if you can fit em!

simsima325 · 11-17-2008, 09:51 AM

///M3-QTR · 11-17-2008, 10:08 AM

Deah7 · 11-17-2008, 10:31 AM

Wow ESS must be great. That kinda looks like an ugly curve before cause everything drops off at high rpms but now it looks nice and neat. Great job guys!
