OK here we go... The cage is done in Myles car now. JW Racing did a beautiful job on it. We ended up making a couple adjustments to the converter to get it where we wanted. We're in the process of getting his wheels and tires all set and strapping this thing down for a tune. After that track shakedown!

The 3 series has been the benchmark to which all manner of vehicles are measured. The comparisons go beyond the likes of the A4, C-Class and S60 and include things like M3 vs Camaro, 328i vs Prius. There’s a problem with your largest volume product being put on this kind of pedestal: how do you redesign it? Carefully, mildly, infrequently and only when absolutely required.

I believe the lil red filter is part of the JRE upgrade kit. The Monster catch can should be installed, I see the 2 lines in the pic but not the can itself.

Yep this car is getting the RX Monster Catch Can, actually it's already installed

The red filter is a crankcase breather

Awesome setup!! I see you are running a built 6L80e. I would like to do the same. What kind of success are you having at this power level with the tranny? I see its been about a year so you may have some of the best data out there ?? I plan to end up around 750-800 rwhp and rwtg.. PM me if you would prefer..

thanks any help would be greatly appreciated..
