6psi + 91octane does not equal 400whp. Scan and post the dyno sheet that states you are over 400whp.
You never answered the other questions. What valves did you replace and who is doing the tuning. 550whp.... good luck.
I am by no means trying to be jerk or anything but... a 4k lb car, even if it had 500-550whp is not that fast or impressive. With a perfect run and a professional driver 500whp would get you 11.6+ in the 1/4. 550whp, may put you sub 11.50 but not buy much. Is this fast, yes, is this cool for a 4 door BMW sedan, yes! Is this super impressive and faster than sport bikes and a bunch of other cars???? HMMM No.
Jimmy is running a Dinan set up which can be seen at this link. He is making around 400whp and his fasted time was a 12.58 in the 1/4. Again, not very impressive.

The VF kit is rated at 415BHP@6psi. With headers you should see a 30-40BHP increase on an S/M62. Best case, you are looking at 450-465BHP @ 6psi, which is around 400whp or (slightly less). Regardless, its a mid 12 second car anyway you slice it.
I had an E39 M5 Dinan S2. I ran 12.4 and even with and pulled on a buddies car that ran a 12.30 (on occasion). My car was capable of a 12.25-12.50, best case and depending on the environmentals. That said, it was not as fast as you describe yours to be.
Here is a good video that highlights the difference between a S/C 540, an E39 m5 and an Stock E60 M5. As you see, the white 540 starts out strong and then gets walked hard. I do not see your care being much different with your 6psi kit.

Lastly, you need to post some pictures, dyno numbers or 1/4 times. Something, anything because what you are claiming does not make any sense and you have not taken the time to post anything to back your claims up. That typically means BS on the internet, so.....
I would love to see an E39 break into the 10's like the E60's have, shit anything under 11.70 will be new ground for the E39. Good luck and please post info.

Is that e39 M5 supposed to be stock? It's pretty fast!
No, the E39 M5 is a Dinan S2.

Ot, but why did different plugs make a 12 hp difference?
That sheet shows 335whp, no? So ~347whp with the new plugs. That's good power tho. What were you stock? You must have had a strong engine!
1) Jimmy's dyno graph scares the crap out of me. Its all over the place!
2) That video is awesome, and that 540 is slooow. I'd like to see what my 1000lb+ lighter car with more power would do to the three of those cars
3) I think 540iMauler is just really excited about his car. I'd love to see some pics/video/dyno/slips from it tho, sounds like a nice car, even tho we know it isn't pushing enough power to toy with a 600.

What car are you talking about? The 540 would be an easy kill, the S2 may be close depending on driver and the type of race. The E60 is pretty nasty even in stock form. I think their WHP range from 415whp-ish to 435whp-ish stock. All the bolt-ons get it to 480whp-ish. They run low 12's stock but over 80mph-ish they really pull hard. Either way, it would be a cool race for sure.
I looked at the supercharging option, but thats something I would need to save my pennys up for to purchase a DINAN one, but turbos I can do over time.
thanks

Yeah, so if e36'es are a thousand pounds lighter than that, I REALLY want one! (more than I already did, that is)
Thad
My mistake on the weight. My car is a bit over 3200lbs with the turbo kit, sub, Heavy wheels, full tank, and spare. It isn't too much work to get them a good bit lighter tho, removing the spare, and putting in light seats would drop it 100lbs pretty quickly.
[QUOTE=540iMauler;17733236]I will post the shop and contact info after EVERYTHING works for a few thousand miles, a few track days, and some Palomar Mountain Runs.
So did it work out 8 years later? What's the info
Go to his profile he has pics of the car pretty awesome! But he wasn’t active since 2011 the guy is disabled also so who knows if he is still alive just wanted to let you know
By mistake

Update on my s/c 540i. Now has turbo system by 22RPD Tuning and different power settings from 500 rwhp to 900 rwhp. I have a thread on this build by vollosso. I changed my user name from BigM62 to jimmy66
