The car will run fine with stepped headers (I have two supercharged Z4M's, both running two different kinds of stepped headers). ESS will tell you otherwise, because ESS and Evolve don't get along, and Evolve sells Supersprint products (which used to be the only stepped headers in town).

Copy, well as far as I know, there aren't any custom tuners near the Florida panhandle (if anyone knows any please let me know!) So I would probably be stuck with the ESS tune. Last time I talked with Evolve they weren't doing SC tunes, only the N/A alpha tune for stepped headers....did I misunderstand??

Yeah these cars are pretty quick .Even with my new aero I was going from 92mph - 148 mph gps from the apex of turn 9 to the front straight at Roebling . A guy in a 2016 Viper ACR was doing 96mph - 146 mph. Hid aero drag makes mine look minimal but still to pull on a 650 hp car is amazing!

Beedub · 10-06-2016, 02:48 AM

they really do rip..... the pull at 7000 plus its nuts! just never ever runs out of power, i love that about the centrifugal setup, totally keeps the stock power line, just moves it up the graph. These kits really suit the car,

Ha ha! You are right..... No that was long back, but even Athens seems not big enough.
The good thing with going SC is that the torque is as much as required not like Turbo so still the car is usable and you can enjoy it cornering fast or even at track days.

I hope you're going to take it for a spin at Megara if you haven't already! It would be crazy on the track

Serres is a bigger and much better track.

I know Serres of course. It's miles better than our track Achna... Happy that you're properly using your beastly Z4M.

FD3S · 10-07-2016, 03:58 PM

Kalispera! I am glad that I see finally another guy from Greece with a Z4M.

It is so rare to see this car here.

Nikitas your car is a beast. Well done.

Hey!!! Kalimera! Thank you, SC its really the only way.

True, it is a very rare car. I have only seen 3 or 4 and out of them only 1 coupe.

One day we have to arrange a gathering......

Beedub · 10-08-2016, 02:23 PM

you actually beat the shit out the car too!! its performing very well!!

how is it holding up with the heat of greece?? has anything broken yet?? lol... All that power has got to break something eventually i keep telling myself!!

awesome awesome car, awesome kit.... very cool owner!

FD3S · 10-08-2016, 02:35 PM

Nikitas that is a long debate if the SC is the only way, that I would be more than happy to do it after a gathering. I am thinking to go with the CSL Airbox way and the cams.

I am in Athens too, so if you have some time we can arrange a meeting.
