When you take it for a test drive, let me know if it makes any difference over stock.

yes, please report and give us a good news :)

Despite what some people say, yes it does make a difference. I installed one in a old 325is and I could chirp the tires into 3rd, with out the box/coil I could only chirp in 2nd. The box I had ended up burning out due to water damage, so make sure you mount it where it wont get water in there.

If you haven't done anything to cause increased cylinder pressures inside the engine, these aftermarket boxes aren't needed.

Unless of course your stock one was just in poor condition, in which case, a good condition stock one would have the same affect.

yes, because being able to chirp tires in different gears is an accurate representation of power output. :???:

No its not, but its better than people who have never used one saying "no it doesnt do anything"
