My car is finally under the knife, Dinan stroker.. - Page 16 - The Unofficial BMW M5 Messageboard (m5board.com)

Sucks to hear about the wheels, but at least it is nothing major.

Any plans to add headers to the car?

Really cool!! Did she feel like she had a lot more at 200mph?

Hate to add more questions, but I have a few. Is the stroker rev limited at 8000, 8250, or 8400? Given that the speedometer overestimates actual speed, how far beyond 200MPH do you think you could go? Does the engine sound much different than stock? Thanks

Remember what happened when I took you for a ride in my TT GT, it cost you more $$.

All I can say is, you will want a M5 w/ the stroker...

I took off the Evosport headers and using the modified headers that Dinan sent me.

A stock M5 will do 200 with the speed limter removed, but it will take a long time, this did not. I don't know how fast it will go, but I know it's got more. For a 4000+ lb 4 door, that's pretty impressive. I think I need to get some better brakes now, stopping this big heavy car at 200+ on stock brakes was a little interesting.

Definately agree that new and much better brakes are a good idea..

I was looking at the heads up display, I'm not sure how accurate that is. The sound is a bit throatier than before, idle sound is deeper. I used the shift points that Darren suggested, around 8000 and it feels just about right. I'm not one to speculate, I know it will run faster but until I acutally do it, I don't know.

My M6 is finally done, but due to work constraints I have to wait until Thursday afternoon to pick her up. The wait is killing me.

Have them start the break in process for you by driving it around so you have less miles before you can fully enjoy it.
