I talked to the owner of Racing Dynamics today.

They have power systems for both the 5.0 and 5.4 V12 engine. The output is 355 HP for the 5.0 engine and 375-380 HP for the 5.4L engine. You have to send your cylinder heads, intake manifold, both ECU and the control unit. They will shave, port, and polish the heads and put larger intake. In addition, you will get new stainless steel exhaust manifolds, new sport mufflers, and new cams. The MSRP is $7800. You will also get the carbon fiber engine covers and the corresponing "R" badge (R50 or R54).

The part numer for the R50 power systems for M70 B50 engine is 140 70 00 502 (automatic gear box)
The part numer for the R54 power systems for M73 B54 engine is 140 72 00 541


They also have the power systems for the V8 engines.

The kit includes 4 camshafts, a sport muffler, and ECU upgrade. you must supply the ECU. The kit makes 325HP for M62 B44 and 335 HP for M62 B44 TU (VANOS) engine. The TU engine is for '98+. The MSRP is $6500. You will also get the carbon fiber engine covers and the corresponing "R" badge (R44).

The part numer for the R44 power systems is 144 62 00 442 (automatic gear box).

All systems come with 2 years/unlimited mileage warranty.

FYI, "Stepan" of the E39 board has the R44 power systems.


I hope this will help you to get more alternatives, especially for you who are not so crazy about forced inductions.
