executive matchup
So, upon my return from a trip, I was given my car back, with custom designed long tube headers installed, Tom's Euro ECU installed, tweaked for optimum fuel octane of 98RON, and a reprogrammed transmission module. Oh sorry, I almost forgot... a pretty cute looking supercharger as well!
I didn't think you could get the Tom's ECU, I thought it was discontinued? Please provide pics and details as soon as you can, I'm pretty sure there will be some here (me included) who would be interested in doing mods like this!

That's a whole lot of $ for the end result...don't ya think? Looks like the M5 beat the GS thru the 1/4 mile, and Hell thats about all people race anymore.. stop light to stop light...just saying.. might wanna gear that GS down a little. either way I bet it still spins ONE tire. I hate that the GS doesn't have pos trac.

I'm not permitted to give any info out at this moment in time, so please accept my apology guys.. all in good time hopefully.
We are just testing the setup and making sure all runs well in our climate.
We think we can squeeze more out of this car so our next target will be an E60 M5.
