I've seen the Dyno's from other RPi Stage 2's at about 470 RWHP, but I've also been told an RPi Stage 2 will get up to 490 RWHP? I can't seem to find a real answer. I just want to know if with the RPi Stage 2, including the ESS Stage 2 tune, will put the M5 at 600 HP at the crank.
Realisticly, it is more like 575hp-580hp depending on the car. The only cars that we dynoed to be close to 600hp was Kenny and Sohrabs car. I dont think Joe's M5 was slower either. Some of those cars come with over 500hp from the factory.

BTW< headers should be done next week.

Hahahaha! Yeah I just saw these posts. Wow that's sooner than I thought. I've just been so busy with moving into my new house, work, and now I'm getting ready to start my Masters Program next Monday, I didn't even have time to think about the headers. I certainly can't wait until they're done, but it's gonna be a couple of more weeks due to the JetHot Coating. I'm excited though!

Haha just read all 39 pages of this thread. You guys are cracking me up. I am in the MOD WAR with all of you it seems like. Good to know there are other mod soldiers out there, haha. I already have the rpi gt exhaust on the m6, should be getting the headers and oil cooler here soon. I did have my car dyno tuned, would I need to get it retuned after the headers??? Also who cares about the dyno, how is the butt-o-meter after getting the headers installed?????

Well hopefully everyone has gotten their headers by now, or Eloy might have a bunch of guys with pitch forks up at his shop raising @#%#@% haha.

I just moved to another house that is closer to my job. I was spending way too much on gas commuting to work with the M5.

Thanks, are the RPI headers catless? Can you get them with high flow cats?
