Since this is a non - locking torque convertor it was difficult to get and accurate read on the dynojet because of the stall (signal kept breaking up) Torque numbers were 500 and change

Million dollar question: Why am I selling it? 2006 M5 arrives in a few weeks.

I'm also gonna dyno on race gas also so I can break the 750 mark

I'll post mod sheets and pics this weekend

forget dyno racing take it to the track! PLEASE? congrats, 600 HP is awesome, but track numbers tell the true tale, and so far no one with a FI GS has produced any track sheets/videos beside Bluelex. I haven't even seen a 13 second time slip from a GS yet.

I finally made it to the shop (to check in on my project) and got a full debrief on your finished car -- just sick! I also heard how you pulled on Bob's S/C'ed Viper

Can't wait to go for a ride...

Congrats on the M5. They're neat cars... total sleepers. That would be my only gripe with them, I suppose; they are perhaps TOO subtle looking.

You can prepare for the 500hp BMW by driving your GS400TT... with a trailer hitched to the backside!

I am sure it's not easy to add a TT setup on the GS400 otherwise there would be a lot more cars out there with the same setup. Kudos to you for being one of the few brave souls willing to go down that route.

That being said...I hate to be a killjoy, but I believe a TT setup on our V8 can yield far more power...

If a 2.0L 4 Cylinder Engine can get close to 900 AWHP, then I don't see why the V8 with a TT setup can't get the same...see thread...
