I am sure there will be those that will say how superior the Dinan setup is, but wake up people: this is how much Dinan's kit should cost, based on what it includes. I have come to the conclusion that Dinan prices their components so high to create a sense of superiority, sorta 'it costs more, so it must be better' mentality.

The interesting thing is that if you estimate areas (2000 - 6500 rpms) under ESS 540SC and M5 dyno pull (see below) discounted by 1.07 (M5 is 7% heavier then 540/6) they are very close. This means that these two cars are very close in each gear. The only thing I am not sure of if 540 has 3.15 axle ratio.
