I dont think its $7500... Maybe for the Sport evo package which is 380hp (supposedly).

It includes exhuast, chip, airbox kit. (http://www.sgmotorsports.com/m3e46/images/airbox5.jpg)

But even that seems a high price. I heard the carbon fiber peice was around $1800, the muffler is probably $1500, and the airintake part is probably $750.
Sad thing is, other then saving a couple lbs, you get about 5 hp from it, pretty bad. You would do better by stripped the entire car and saving 300lbs. Lighter wheels, flywheel, brake, a better gear set, with maybe smaller increments ebtween each gear, giving a better track setup (close ratio can get 170mph with the 6spd most likely).

I am going to contact scott and ask him how he likes the airbox.

Well I spoke with the owner of that site. They actually have not installed any of those parts yet (chip, exhuast, intake system (manifold/cai))

Anyway they said they are expecting very good gains, and a decent amount of weight loss. He's keeping me posted, but we had a couple ncie chats about the system. He is very excited, and I hope he should atleast hit 365hp with his setup.

The car is much further along than was reported, since the car is raced I'm not going to get into all the little goodies that have already been added, let's just say that it should be close to the 380hp mark.

Contact Wheel Power if interested in the kit.

If you dont mind I would like to know some details
380hp is a very nice number and I would like to know exactly what was done to acheive that. Maybe you can give me the guys email address if you dont want to go over the mods?
