Can someone condense about 550 pages into one post about this stuff??
EDIT They supposedly add 8-10 hp. (Verification? Where in powerband?) These are modified shims in the valvetrain that allow the intake valves to open an additional 1 degree, and that is apparently enough to help the N52 breathe better. BPC has a tune for it. |

And to add to this: There are no cams for N52 engine. Justpete and BPC experimented with aftermarket cams and they did not yield any positive results. This mod is the closest thing you can get to cam swap. If you are changing your valve cover gasket - take extra 20 min and install them. Def worth it. Milvs cost $350 (new) or $300 (used). You get $40 back if you send in your old ones effectively lowering the cost to $310 or $260. These supports experience very little wear (almost none), so going used is advisable. HOWEVER, Full potential can only be achieved via tune. So far, the only tuner offering off the shelf tune for this mod is BPC. If you already have BPC tune, cost of upgrade is $100. If you don't have the BPC tune already, full purchase price of BPC tune including this mod is $750. AA purchased set of MILVS and is potentially exploring offering a tune for this mod as well. Currently there is no availability or pricing for AA tune. The mod works on following engines: n20, n26, n51, n52, n55, s55 (M3,M4) What else is do you want to know?
