seems pretty reasonable if it delivers properly!

$400 + install cost seems like a lot for 5hp near redline.

i am kind of surprised no one has bought this yet, i know it is only at redline but i thought someone would order it the day it came out...

Hunter already has one coming

i'm thinking of gettin the ram air scoop.

The Valvetronic power plants don't even use the throttle body unless there is a problem. Obviously, the one that is present restricts extreme high end flow... 5hp on a 325i is like a 2% gain up top... I wonder if this would hurt the low end at all due to reduced velocities at lower engine speeds?

I don't think this is worth the money.

The intake manifold is the obvious restriction....not the throttle body. It would be sweet to see an aftermarket triple-stage manifold & chip to control it.....I know, wishful thinking.
