The kit is well worth every penny...

The K&N air intake system + a Turbo Tech mount, are the only aftermarket
parts I needed, to run mid 12's @ 111mph, at the track....

WTF
Get the K&N kit, & call it a day....

I've been 'hot-rodding' cars for since 1970, this little sleeper of ours is so easy to 'hot-rod'.
With just a few parts, & a E47.5 tune, these 'buggys' fly.....

 

You ever get video of that run yet?

 

You left out the most important part.... Your e60 tune and slicks.
cuz if it was just the kit, they would be a grand. Just sayin.

 

I noticed that too. Just the K&N don't do squat. Need a tune and some gription for sure.

 

E47.5 tune is best.
E60 tune doesn't really show anything over a E47.5 tune.

Since these 'buggys' are 'wrong' wheel drive, you need slicks, to have
a good time, & times, at the track.

 

I didn't considered the 'tune' as parts, just changing the '0's' & '1's', in
the brain box..
With 'wrong' wheel drive, you always need slicks, at the track,
that's just a 'given'.... 'wrong' wheel drive, just sucks, at the track,
without slicks...

 

Why all the 'hate', too many 'haters' on these forum..

I finished my 100lb wheel/tire/rotor, weight reduction yesterday, & will
track test this Thursday, if the 'Issac' rains, blow out of here quickly.

Prep work for the run to the 11's, next year.
Will be adding the ZFR, in the spring, if the stage 2 EFR is done...

 

Just saying you say 12's without video to back it up. Just hard to believe without some hard core evidence. Anyone can post a time.

 

Hate might be too strong a word, 2005HHRauto. HPTuners sent me the parts to tune my car. These parts make more difference than any other parts I bought. But as an IT guy, I may have a different view of computer parts that I hook up to my car for logging and programming and the associated programming. To me, when I change my ECU programming, it is effectively a different part than other ppls ECUs.

 

You have to admit the pic in His signature proves his wagon is making some power, I wonder if Ladybglover's hubby will beat 12.62 ??? He has a disadvantage running a 5 speed.
