so
i bought the dct m3 2 month ago
stock for now.....

i'm still with my old 335 fbo
trying to sell it now...

the problem with the M is i miss the turbo kick
i dont like the drama and the high revs of the s65 motor

after few hours of reading here
i understand i need sc the motor

since than i tried to save me this power problems that we all share usually
and ordered the ess tune and ms test pipe
(it on the way....)
i'm feeling its not going to make big difference so.....
i dont want to wait and wait
i figure i will sc it now

the car is dd
i don't going to track it
just point a to b and some tripping on the weekends
my car produced in 10\2010 so i hope my rod bearing will hold the abuse..
thinking on safe power, seems like 600hp will be more than enough for now

i read a lot about the ess kits
and seems like they r the popular choice by the forum members
and damn, the kit looks good!!!!

i also read about the vf kits
and see their cooling method that looks very efficient
and read about the company(they have a lot of sc kits for great cars)
although this kits look like s**t (manifold)

seems that they both offer the same power gains
so what the hell i should pick and why??


sorry upfront for the pandora box i'm opening here
but i hope i will get some answers
thanks
I've had an ESS kit (started with 625 and upgraded to 650) and I have beat the crap out of my car with many hard track and airstrip miles. I've never had one issue with the car. Not one check engine light, not one code, not one problem. Nothing. Just a fantastic reliable product that kicks ass. I'll just leave you with a couple vids:







Best of luck with your decision.
