By the way, many thanks to //WALL_ST aka RaceMX-M3 for the benchmark comparison!

 

Nice!

 

Looks more like a 40K+++ engine!! Finally putting the power to the ground congratz Darren! Keep the videos coming!!

I would love to see your Dyno results!

 

Thanks for the video. The results are more likely expected. What surprise me is the intake make that much different from the previous video. Now, I want to see the rematch agains HPF M3, 997TT, Ford GT. Is that ///WALL ST M5?

Keep us posted and congrats once again.

:M5thumbs:

 

Me and the HPF M3 (aka RaceMX-M3) already ran earlier today we just didn't have a camera with us. The results were much better, although the M3 beat me he was only 4-5 car lengths in front of me versus bus lengths last time.

We'll get some vids asap between us for comparison so everyone can see.

 

He's running away.........definitely big performance gain!

 

Have you thought about a run from a stop? Perhaps against an
E55 or Z06? How much traction do you have? It might also be time
to take it to the track for a 1/4 run.

 

Traction is a huge issue now. I tried the launch control for the first time today after they fixed everything and even with my 305 mm rear tires there's just no grip until I hit third gear.

 

By the way, how do you like the sound of the exhaust? Personally I love it, but I know we all have different taste.

 

damn thats fast!!!:applause:

you're using 305 tires on 10" width rims?oohhh:

did you shave rear fenders?

 

I have 10.5" rear rims from Wheelexperts.com. No rubbing and great fitment.

 

Darren,

So happy there was an easy fix.. I've never seen an M5 put that much real estate in front of me before. Congrats on the new found HP. :cheers:

 

Awesome results! Congrats Darren, knew the M5 stroker Motor, Scott talked about on the M3 boards, had to be your car. Great runs guys. :thumbsup:

 

Thanks Drew...hope you've been doing well.

 

Wow, really impressive. Congratulations on getting the MAF issue sorted.

As to the sound, YouTube video never does any justice to how a car really sounds in person, but from what I can tell it sounds neat.

 

David, what do you mean? What does mexico have anything to do with the stroker kit?

 

^ Ha!Ha!Ha! that's funny.
trol- read again what david wrote. this time with a gutter mind.

 

Looks and sounds awesome. Now that the intake component was fixed, how is the seat of the pants difference? Very anxious to see vids of your next meet. Congrats again.

 

wow, looks like a huge difference, $$ when the mod produces results like that it's worth it:applause:

 

Wooow! That thing pulls like crazy against that stock M5.

 

Congratulations on your car... very impressive!!!

Were you able to set something up with the SL65? I would be very curious to see those cars matched up...although I would think that you have the advantage from a roll and should beat it now that the MAF is sorted out. I think a tuned 65 would be a better challenge.

Good luck!!!

Tom

 

I agree with you Tom. I'm looking forward to the rematch.

My friend with the SL65 should be up for a comparison today or tomorrow. I'll ask him...he's usually very accommodating.

The 997TT is in the shop to fix an over rev'ing situation created by shifting from 3rd -> 2nd (instead of 3rd -> 4th as intended). Once he has his car back we'll do a comparison again.

Regards,

Darren

 

I like that it's on tap ready to go any time...all the time. No refill necessary :grinyes: (except for more petrol obviously!)

 

Hey darren from your video your m5 is stupid fast. However what intake componet did they put in that made that much of a diffrence. did they do that intentional to keep you from racing lol. How the seat of the pants feel now that they fixed it

 

I saw them put in two devices, one in each intake near the MAF. They came from here:

Turbonator.com - Official Site

You should try it and see if it helps your car...

 

For comparison here's a vid from Sunday before the car was fixed.

 

Wow...I could not imagine MAF would have such a big impact in performance!

 

:biggrin: awesome darren congrats !!

 

Darren,

Is the Turbonator installed before or after the MAF sensor? or does it matter? You got any pics of it installed?

 

....geez guys, it's a joke...hiha

 

ha ha darren very funny i nearly fell off my chair but seriously what did they change that made a drasitc improvement

 

My apologies, I thought I posted that actual change but it looks like I'm going senile myself and didn't.

They changed out parts related to the Dinan intake system which house the MAF sensor and connect it to the air intake plenum on top of the block.

Obviously some serious engineering on Dinan's part to determine how much airflow the 5.7L engine needs to properly breathe. Made a substantial difference! Way to go team Dinan!

 

D#MN that thing is fast! Congrats Darren!

So a few requests if you don't mind:

1) Comparison runs with a modified M5; preferrably one with headers.
2) Some dyno numbers
3) How about before and after dynos with the RPI Scoops? I'm really curious if the scoops will work well with the Dinan intake. Maybe someone in the Dallas area can lend you theirs?

Congrats again on such an awesome car. BTW, are those the HRE Monobloks?
