the reason its rich is to make up for other mods people may/may not ahve added, and to add a margin of safety for variences in motors... most generic software is this way...


make sure its vortech whatever you do

we quite possibly have some of the rarest cars in many of the western states, that is for sure.

I just had an RMS kit installed on my car. I am picking it up this afternoon. Customer service was a bit less than satisfactory, but the kit looks very sweet and they were very accomodating when we had problems (reflashing computer, wrong belt sent). I am now waiting on the aftercooler and am thinking about getting the throttle body and a smaller pulley to up the boost to about 9 psi. But, I have to check my butt dyno first to see if I'm satisfied.

Good luck!

I'd stay away from RMS unless you have a way to get custom software

I wouldn't start hoping on the RMS bandwagon yet. I know this is the General forum, but even tho this thread is in the E46 section, it can apply to anyone thinking about RMS. If you don't live near RMS, you can forget it. Very interesting thread...

If you are needed supercharger comparison info. please look here.
http://home.attbi.com/~kbleck/index.htm

I would choose ESS over any of them regardless of cost. The research speaks for itself.
