E90 ESS VT1 Supercharger Kit (Real Numbers)

Well sometimes just a bit is well enough. ESS supercharger kits at GoodSpeed seem to be a regular occurrence but for those that are on the fence ESS has options. The new E90 M3 comes stock with 414Hp out of the factory. For us in AZ and surrounding areas that get the poor 91oct fuel, those numbers translate to about 400 crank Hp. Not too bad. What is the simplest and biggest bang for the buck? We believe its the VT1-535 kit priced at only $8,795.00 and gets you approximately 535 crank Hp. With a install price of only about $700 that makes for a very low price for 135 hp with oem driveability and perfect OEM fit and finish. Take a look at this 2009 M3 for example. With a full exhaust system, ESS's VT1 kit and no other modifications we achieved over 545hp and over 360 lbs torque at the crank. Note the light blue line is air/fuel, and is absolutely perfect as is the liner boost, a testament to ESS's software tuning ability. This is truly an 'install it, and forget it' kit.
