Getting it to 11's is guaranteed for me, wether I can do it on the stock internals with 155k is is the real question. I will need 650+ at the crank to push a 5300lb tank to those speeds.

I am already matching stock x5m power levels however the intake has to be completely reworked, beyond even what the M has (which sucks too) and larger turbos plus meth and right around 24-27psi will do the trick to reach my 11 second goal. Again will the stock cast pistons, rods, crank last for even a few runs at that level? Only one way to find out. A forged bottom end maybe the only way, will be interesting to see how far it can be pushed.

I am working on the intake now, a have few ideas to increase the effectiveness of those baby turbos the n63 has. Weeks away from being done. But none of this makes a difference until XHP comes out with a tune for the transmission and removes the torque limiters which I am hitting even now at just 15psi.
