Just hit 300k on the highway this morning. I tried to get a picture while slowing down but traffic screwed me and sadly out of the 9 pic's this was the clearest....

I even blew it up and couldn't clean it up anymore than this.

It's my goal!
If this thing could even hit 100mph, the never-opened M54 would fly apart with that 5-speed tractor gearing.

Mine had no problem up to about 105. Higher needed a hill.

You aren't stock 3.0i though. I'm curious how your plant compares to N52 and N55. Are you super charge?!

Definitely not stock! LoL..

Alcohol blown brotha!

And Mr. Wynn, I hope you know I mean no disrespect. This board in my opinion would be incomplete without you.

That's a nice round number! Congrats

Yesterday I put a note on a derelict 4.6 near me that my Indy tipped me off about. The poor car is in rough shape and looks like it hasn't moved in several years. Hopefully this isn't because the motor blew up and spread metal throughout its internals. I need 4.6 cams and springs for my motor rebuild project, and I wouldn't mind having the 4.6 specific 5HP24 to swap into my X5 some day. It does look like it has many, many miles on it though.

Are you using an extension for the 1up? How did you get it to sit that far back from the bumper?
