That Blitz Intake looks bad ***. When are the rest of your parts and the BBX going on the car?

Don't forget the phenolic heat-barrier gasket for that intake manifold!

They work quite well, the difference in manifold temp was night/day at autocross with my IX.

Looking forward to seeing the end result... After doing all these mods are you worried about the tranny and or your warranty? Just curious as I'm unsure how crazy I want to go with mine.

z06 fast would be perfect. I had a new E63 (which is one of my dream cars right behind CLS63) pull on me the other day. Kind of depressing. I need 500hp as well
