With the "right kinds of mods" a 1000 bhp is possible. You're going to have to be a lot more specific if you're going to make claims like "40+ ft/lbs (of torque) improvement". It's claims like this, BTW, that make most of us skeptical of any real performance gains by any product.

I'm a skeptic also, so being that, I solely based my statement off the dyno BMS performed on their Z4M Coupe. Look at the link posted in the thread. Their Stage 2 exhaust + RPI's Scoop + ESS software tune showed this dyno'd result at around 3K rpms or so. Again, look at the the dyno and if I misunderstood or misread the dyno, it's fair for me to eat my words. Check out the dyno & tell me what you think.
