ESS vt1 550 vs 625
I currently have the 550 but am contemplating upgrading to the 625. My wheels hook just fine right now but am concerned with the added horse power and torque it might get real squirrely. Is it worth it to have the extra horsepower and feel invincible (and maybe deal with more internal stress) or just suffer along with the 550 hp and have more control?
If you guys can give pros and cons it would be much appreciated...Thanks. |

Personally after owning an ESS650 for 4 years and now having a stock e92 M3 for the last 3 years, if i go supercharged again, I'd do a 550 kit but upgrade the injectors/tune and run methanol for cooling. The air-to-water intercooler system in the ESS625 is horrible.

At the moment for what I use the car for, I'm content at stock power.
