Anyone else want an SC kit?

Love my Z4M but as expected the handling and chassis outperforms the motor. Lately I am wanting more power to fully enjoy the car.... something that pushes me back into the seat. I feel like with 500 whp the car car will be a much more complete package... and I will lose to an X5M competition by only a few car lengths instead of bus lengths

Looks like ESS is still willing to custom make a kit for E85/E86. are you SC guys happy with your performance?

None of the supercharger kits will do 500 whp out of the box. You need more boost, better fuel such as E85, and a tune to tie it together. With 500+ whp, these cars are animals but still very controllable. I can’t imagine an X5M would be much faster other than maybe in situations where the manual transmission or traction hold back the Z4M.

I’m working up a DCT/turbo solution for those that want to destroy everything short of a hypercar.
