RobCrezz said: One question. Did that orange elise in the pictures get past you? Or did you get all the power down after you were done drifting around  That lap was actually supposed to be a "slow and easy" lap since my girlfriend was the passenger. However when I approached Adenauer Forst I just couldn´t resist, disabled DSC and the rest is on those pics  She was not too happy  I chatted later with the Elise guys and they said they enjoyed the show

AWESOME car!!!

Awesome car
Awesome pics
Awesome spec
Awesome write up
Awesome vids
What else can i say... AWESOME.
Right what can we learn from this.... Stock M5 internals are not strong enough to cope with forced induction.
May i ask what boost you were running to blow her up so quick, and now what boost are you running on the unprated engine?
thanks

Just read the monster E30 thread.
WOW again, two stunning motors which pack a real punch.
Ever taken either to the drag strip?
What happened to the carrera GT and the ferrari?

I think the lesson here is that the stock M5 engine cannot cope with huge torque levels. The block flexes too much since it´s made out of aluminium. There is a new kit coming out that is designed by the same guy that did my motor (http://www.m5board.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=110418) and that will work on stock internals. This kit has lower power levels. The boost I have been running is about 0.5 - 0.6 bar before and after the block cracked. I have no idea how they crashed the Carrera GT and the Ferrari but it seemed to be a good job. I have taken the M5 to the dragstrip on 19" street tires and my best runs were: 12.617 @ 116.57 12.731 @ 116.27 12.613 @ 115.67     I had some traction issues and was loosing boost because of a broken plenum cover  Hope that Toyo RA1's on 18" wheels and a CF plenum cover will fix this
