I think it was Adam.

 

[BlackC55]

I would like to know what he thinks.

I went out in Jacks car and it was insane. The traction control kept cutting in even at speed, extremely capable. The difference between the 55 and the 43 is like night and day.

It sounds far more raw, powerful, deeper and just plain dirtier than the 43, more potential, way more top end. Its alot less lazy when taking off aswell, hard to describe but I think you know what I mean because that 4.3 lump does take a while to get going.

You REALLY need to dump the 4.3 engine and take up the 55. Give it a set of headers and map it. You will have an E39 M5 (let alone E46 or even E92 M3) killer. Its far more easier and much reliable than supercharging the 43 and you know it.

 

[BlackC55]

mmmmm. Food for thought

Just picked up this thread and read through it. Great job Olly and co I am just a bit amazed how rusty some parts of your engines (and elsewhere) are in the UK . Also the leopard salt spots on the alloy parts. Do you go driving on the beaches and wash the cars in salty water Just kidding guys
