My opinion.

Posts like this are why I've pretty much stopped participating here. Too many kiddies up past their bedtimes.

i must admit i thought the same as he he does but after speaking with eloy at length i understand what it takes to make these headers work as good as they do. please dont give up this forum so quick without it i would have spent countless dollars on bs mods before finding the ones that really work.

You have to also remember your not paying any money up front, it's all when the job is done so no one is just sitting there with your wad of cash.

Nice Mighty!! I've got everything RPi except for the headers myself. I always tell people I'm a RPi Stage 1.9! LOL! Yeah we'll be right around 600HP to the crank with stage 2. The Headers and the exhaust make the most power, but you'll really notice it in the low to mid range with these! After I get headers, I'm gonna start saving up for the RPi Stage 4 setup which is ESS Supercharger VT-2 with the Intercooler! Eloy estimates around 730HP with Stage 4.

As far as wheels go, in my opinion, I think the absolute best performance increase you can get are the 19" DINAN wheels made for the E60 M5. They are SUPER light(20lbs each, even the rear wheels are 20lbs!), and they are 305mm in the rear tires, which is WAY wider! Stock tires are 285mm. Just ask M5Jed, and he'll tell you that they make the BIGGEST difference as far as wheels go. Only problem is finding a set for sale. DINAN doesn't make them anymore, and no one is selling them. I've been looking for over a year for them, but I've had no luck. One day though.

Not sure who made all the new stages up

Wait, isn't the RPI stage 2 with the ESS VT2 considered an RPI Stage 3 car?? Then again, you can add just the ESS VT1 kit to an RPI Stage 2 car too so what stage RPI car would that be? haha

I think that is what people are thinking that a VT1 is stage 3 and VT2 is a stage 4
