This is hard to say, I have the stock front mount and I have no way to measure IAT's. It is pretty cold in Florida this time of the year but the power feels very consistent even with the stock front mount.

I have been in the waiting line for the N55 Procede for my E90 6MT. One question I have for you is whether you feel that the power is manageable with the sport package rims/tires and no LSD. Some wheelspin is OK, but too much doesn't sound like a good thing for me. Is it manageable, or do you think you'll end up needing to change to larger wheels/tires?

BTW, I recently upgraded to the Koni yellow/sport shocks and BMW performance springs. They take out a lot of the body roll and bounciness in the stock suspension. At the same time, I also switched to non-RFT Continental DW tires, in 235 front/255 rear sizes. With 10mm spacers in front and 12mm in rear. All changes highly recommended.
You will be 100% OK with stock tires and wheels. The pilot sports I have are the ones that came with the M Sport Package on my car. No need to change anything, you will love it!
