Went great. Took all day though. Nothing crazy cold air intake, headers, and cat back. I was sweating it a little. It is my cousin's car and I had never done E38. Just diesel and LS1B for me mainly. Printed the tutorials (Thanks Swingtan) read them a bunch of times. All went smooth. The VVE did not change much. Hardest part was doing the IAT Compensation. It was in the 40sF here yesterday . But we got close to 70C so hopefully it works out. This is my biggest concern as he lives in South Carolina. Car runs great. I was surprised by the burst knock thing. Rolling down the road a 65mph floor it and it hesitated then tore off down the road. Looking in the log the ecm was pulling a lot of timing. Some tweaks to the burst knock and it was much better.

Very impressed with this car. I have been looking at a 2004 5.7 GTO. Now wondering if I should look for 05-06 E40 6.0.


Thanks Guys!:master:
