Last night Moe, and his crew finally returned my GS400 back to me after 2.5 weeks. I have to admit that it was a quick turnaround considering what they did. First let me start at the beginning. After having a close run in with a CLK430 in Dec (it was closer than I wanted), I decided to go with the SRT Intake, SRT RACE ECU, and SRT TC. I was riding on TSW chrome Revo 17's, and was otherwise stock. Well, let me say: WOW! The acceleration was amazing. NO PROBLEMS at all with hesitation, engine lights, etc. The ONLY thing was traction with my wheels from all the torque. <br><br>But I needed MORE!!! And I thought I could wait, but then a good friend of mine got a 2002 M5! And you know how much crap BMW owners talk. Well, after a heated discussion, and him TELLING me that NO ONE makes any stable aftermarket systems for the GS that can get it to touch his cars' performance. A bet happened. $1000 His car against my GS400. I guess that got my blood going!!!! <br><br>So after talking to Moe, and getting his expert advice on what I needed, I took the plunge. <br><br>I went out and got the Borla exhaust, TRD LSD, 19' chrome wheels (because it WILL be a sleeper!!!), bilstein struts, eibach springs, ordered the Supra TT brakes, crossed drilled rotors, Impluse SS brake lines, TRD racing pads, TRD STB, and some other cosmetic things (clear markers, Greddy Lip, etc). <br><br>Packed it all in my car, and headed to SRT. Gave Moe the keys, and ordered the SRT Stage 2.5, Tranny valve upgrade, and told him to make a REAL sleeper. Then the wait began.... <br><br>FINALLY -- last night, Moe told me she was ready, and then there was the test drive! Moe takes the keys, turns off the VSC, and guns it! OH @!*@*!&@&!!!! My NECK!!! MY NECK!!! So much power! Now, I have a tuned GSXR SRAD 750 making 125hp at the rear, and I know torque, but DAMN! Then we get to a straight away, Moe gets to about 60, and hits it! WHAT A MINUTE? I KNOW WE ARE NOT DOING A BURNOUT AT 60mph? Yup! We were! <br><br>So we go back to the shop, and after I finally was able to pry my hand off of the door handle! LOL (didn't know I was holding on that tight!) Moe gives me instructions on the brake in period, and what to/ not to do as far as the break in (under 5000K until I reach 250 miles), and upkeep of the SC. <br><br>No problems going home! SLOW! So this morning I take her to work. No incidents, well.... <br><br>(Moe is going to be pissed at this!) <br>Well, I am going to work, and I pass this CLK 430! Well, as soon as it opens up, He goes FLYINF pass me. Well, we end up stopped at the light. Side by Side. He looks over, and laughs. <br>I just shake my head. The light turns green, and I wait, and of course he hits it. I hit it right after he then (kept it under 5K, Moe!) And lets just say he was at least 5 cars back, and he was trying hard! I never went pass 4500K, and I let the trans shift. We end up at another light, and of course he doesn't look over. I roll down the window, and beep the horn. He rolls down his window, and is like "YOU GOT SOMETHING UNDER THAT HOOD!". He was laughing, and I said "You think?". Light turns green, this time I hit it. NO SLIP AT ALL!!! (Thank you, LSD!). Needless to say, he didn't try. I will post my before and after pics later tonight! <br><br>Good Hunting!!!! <br><br>Lee<br><br>My mods: SWIFTRACING STAGE 2.5 SC@...

AG! I too want to supercharge a GS430. Here in Chicago I have not been able to find anyone I trust to work on the install. What is the cost for the supercharger?<br><br>Keep us posted with how things hold up.
