My new mods
I will post pics soon. My 2001 GS430 will be with LMS for another week. I will have the following mods. Red means it was already done, blue is what I am having done this week
1. Rotora front and back big brake kits
2. Daizen Sways
3. Toms front and rear brace, Lower Suspension 6-link
4. New front light housing
5. Fogs 12,000k, low beam 12,000k,high beam/DRL 5,000k ALL HID (made the high beam and DRL work like factory, no problems)
6. Explosion body kit
7. Tein SS
8. 3.76 gears LSD
9. P/I Torque Converter
10. Polished radiator
11. Two tranny coolers, can never be too cool
12. JIC cat back exhaust
13. LMS CUSTOM SUPERCHARGER, USING PROCHARGER SUPERCHARGER. IT IS JUST LIKE THE SET UP USED ON THE SC430 THAT WAS POSTED ON CL,AND FEATURED IN LUXURY AND EXOTIC MAGAZINE. 6 POUNDS OF BOOST. ESTIMATED GAINS 100 HP AND 100 LBS. OF TORQUE. TOTAL 400HP AND 425 LBS. TORQUE
14. Still waiting for S&S headers. I am on the first order.
Like I said, I will post the pictures soon. You guys think I will be able to take the M3s now? Would like thoughts on how much of that power you think will end up at the wheels. Will T/C help transfer that power?
Thanx

Congrats, you have some really great mods. 
By any chance, do you have the cel problem because of the TC? Also, do you plan to keep the 3.76 or go back to stock gearing once the FI is done?

I have not had any problem with the cel (had TC for 3 months). From what I understand the 3.76 lowers top speed. I like to go from stop light to stop light, not planing on changing the gears.
