Haha! Yes I totally heard the Aqua mist video! ...... and so did my neighbors! Where you able to monitor your charge temps with the Aqua Mist? I have been looking at the Snow Performance Kit. My software came off an e39 that was walking from E39 M5's and keeping pace with E60 M5's. He was claiming about 450 whp, and by the videos, and knowing who he is, pretty much confirmed that.

What you say about wear and tear seems true when you are adding that kind of stress/power. Let me know if you want your rod bearing coated. I'm out of the loop on the DLC, teflon, options, etc. But I can get you a discount from Calico Coatings. That my just be just extra cash you don't want to spend as you are already upgrading. Dude, you should keep her, which honestly is one of the nicest m54 manual performance builds to grace this forum, period. I bet you 'can' break all four loose especially with the 4.10 gearing!....but your drivetrain might hate your ass!

You have to make a couple videos for me! I want to see your set up and how your monitoring everything.
