I was not thinking about drivetrain loss, but as we know the cars are under rated a bit so it probably works out about even |

So basically Force is function of wheel radios. Torque is independent....

Ahh yep right. Running a wider tyre at the same aspect ratio actually helps gear the car up very slightly while giving you a wider footprint, so better for grip in first!

Nice. You definitely need 10 mm spacer or wider tire (MPSS 305/30/20) for rear...

So the hp/torque gauges in the iDrive, and the tire pressure/temp are standard? You didn't need to code those to make them available? Is there a coolant temp meter in there somewhere? And what color is that interior? Sorry if that's obvious somewhere else, but it looks like it could be dark brown or black. Awesome. Only 38 more days until I see mine -- but who's counting.... |

Dinan Stage 2 installed!! Will post pics soon.
Once break in service is complete next week I can finally open up this beast!! So far the "in your seat" power gains are impressive. Lots of wheel spin though. I am wondering what WOT will feel like above 60mph...

Coolant temp is just about engine temp, but assuming there's no overheating problem, I can probably tell when it's warmed up enough to hit it hard.... |

If SL is removed, you have to be able to reach 170+ (on speedo).... keep passing 160 since the speedo has built-in error so 160 speedo is 155 GPS
