Based on our research, most of us feel that we're already pushing its limits just with PROcede alone. Are you guys at VQMotoring going to be the ones to find out the hard way what the 335i ZF tranny's absolute limits are?

I respect what you guys are doing, don't get me wrong, but adding HP/TQ to sky-high numbers (without some serious, long-term testing) just to say you can do it doesn't sit well with many ppl.
We are planning to test it the hard way.. We will let you all know.. If the tranny brakes, then we will let you all know with how much wtq it broke and what we did to make it better and hold the power.. Someone has to do it to stop the rumors you know. Hopefully we wont brake anything else in the process..
The car feels perfect right now, no signes of anything wrong..

Thanks,
Rickie Cruz
