**** yeah. thats what I want to see. I love the look of that throttle body. I want one, thats for sure.Thanks for the information.

I was going to ask you about your setup Beetos. My question is your "1000cfm 4 plate throttle body (the v8 efi 4plate system)", what brand is it and how much are they?

Did you get the inlet manifold ported?

Please show us some videos of the car mate. 500rwhp sounds unbelievable. especially since the lastest M5 has 500 rearwheel horsepower. I also noticed you Dyno readout was on a Dyno Dynamics dyno. They read 15-20% lower than Dyno Jets. Your car should easily get in the 11's for the quarter mile.

Though you would like that mate.

This is my throttle body, its by EFI hardware and there are blanking plugs fitted where the injectors are shown. Its not a straightforward fit and needs a fair amount of custom fab work.

The dyno chart on the write up is really old, I need to get it on a dyno now and see what it will do but I think it makes more power now as the boost was tapering off on that dyno plot. I think 11's would be doable.

Yes, its pretty violent, I need to get some video. Its a bit of a white knuckle ride, I love the way it can break 265's loose in second without even trying. Makes you forget its a big 5 series with all that weight on the rears!

that would be the best if your running a front mount intercooler, somthing almost impossible with stock manifold, thats why TCD and such run a water intercooler, and i see one on the bay ever blue moon

Very good point! The outlet from a FMIC goes up very easy to a throttle body facing the fender, would be hard to route it the other way.
