First of all FLOWMASTERS on a 850? You really must be on a budget! I'm also surprised with your claim that your exhaust system added an "AMAZING H.P INCREASE!" You should know that even the best system (Supersprint) only gives you a max increase of 8-10 HP.

How much HP do you think you have?

Next I think you should be returning your G-Tech for a full refund if it's producing those numbers. The best 850iA numbers I've seen are 0-60 in 5.0 sec and that's with a 6.0L Hartage Engine Conversion (see clube31 articles).

I have a 4.10 Diff from a 535iA I plan on installing in the next month or so. I'll update everyone on that. Also with the 3.91 your car should do well over 140 mph still.

Please re-examine your numbers, your dealing with a group of knowledgable owners here with some being near the expert level in E31's.

Don't embarass yourself.

I may sound like I'm coming down hard here, but any regular reader of this board would know what a stock or modified 850 or 840 is capable of, despite what thier G-Tech says.
