What is the next step to 400whp? N55 E82 135I

[APhuze]

Hey folks, i currently got done with FBO (VRSF Inlet, FMIC, Chargepipe, Downpipe, BMS CAI) along with a cobb pro tune i feel like the car pulls strong, but it still has room to grow.

I was recently at a drag strip with some okay tires and ran 13.08 and 108mph on the trap. I'm hoping to get that down to mid 12's after some more modifications.

Here are some 3rd-4th gear pulls i logged, i think they look pretty good but any insight would be appreciated. I'm thinking the next best upgrades i can do are a Meth kit (any suggestions on a meth kit? I don't have a JB4 so something with its own controller would be nice), and then a PS2 turbo down the line. But any advice would be appreciated on how i can get closer to a 400whp mark on my n55.

I tried out the MHD stage 2+ and it felt okay, but the cobb custom map from PTF is much more refined and agressive. Perhaps even a custom tune off of MHD could bring me closer to that goal; here are the logs.

E85 near you? If so you need to. I ran e30 on my n55 x1 and the difference in power and especially TQ is insane.

Can i run the e30 on a stock fueling system and my cobb tune for 94? or would i need a e30 map

You'd definitely need a custom map for e30 but the difference is tremendous. E85 is roughly an hour away from me or I would run e30 on both cars constantly.

Appreciate the insight! Yeah i have a e85 station maybe 40 minutes from me but never considered it. I was always worried i would need a new pump to run it but if its just a tune i may be more so inclined to!

Im guessing a new tune is needed because e30 would need a different timing than 94 eh?

Custom maps + E85 and/or Methanol injection / upgraded turbo

I do recommend the custom map after you finished getting all the mods or you'll have to pay for another one once you add a new upgrade
