ESS VT550 E39 M5 vs Supersprint E39 M5

[Stack]

That's one thing I will miss when I move out to Cali. 93 Octane gas. That is our standard Premium gas while in Cali it's only 91.

It is ready for sale from what I hear from AJ. 550HP for 5.5PSI (91 Octane) and 570HP for 6PSI (93 Octane). Simple pulley change between the two options. $9995 regardless of power option.

The car was owned by someone in the Santa Barbara area. It was at Bimmerfest. That car sounded like a fighter jet when I was caravaning with it.

I thought the E39 M5 came stock with 400bhp? For $9995, you get either 550HP or 570HP.

If we had 93 octane we could have the 550 hp version

I miss 93 octane

+ the headers and race cats give me about 30 -40 rwhp above stock so even on 91 and the 500 kit it should perform like the 550 kit then if i move back to the East coast I can have close to 600 hp !!!! but I can sacrifice the 50 hp for cali....

Website states 550HP for 91 octane. Was it posted otherwise somewhere?

That is what happens when a properly designed and tuned supercharger system is created. Seems like 5.5PSI if AJ says it was the VT550.

I wish we had 93 octane over here in California as well.

Iirc you can mix 4 gallons of 100 and 12 gallons of 91 octane to get around 93/94 octane...

Yes, that is the mix I do when I have the need for a more kick in the pants. Just sucks the race gas pump station is 30 miles from my house.

ok i'm a little bit of a Math person... so the ratio is 3:1 in regard to 91:100 octane? hmmm, someone wanna show me the formula for this, so i can make my own little science experiment

[Stack]

So anyone have some information on how much of a drop in performance it is from 93 Octane to 91?

That might the reason I stay in Texas hahah...jk

Assuming a 16 gallon tank:

[91*(12/16)] + [100*(4/16)] = 93.25.
