Not sure what you talking about. You got any logs? Dyno? I havent heard anyone making that much power on stage 1 on F10 535i.

Also from my understanding and now I could be wrong about this but smaller stage 1 turbo and trying to squeeze more power = running higher boost, which mean introducing more boost to the engine. While stage 2 with less boost can provide same numbers due to more efficiently producing the same power = less boost introduce to the engine.

As for trans, I am not going crazy with my car nor I am looking to race and beat people, but rather enjoy the car as my day to day drive and enjoy the car on highway.

We probably have different goals and I dont plan to abuse my car crazy. Some people might say why would you do that, but when I get used to new power and feel like gaining more power then I know I have plenty of room for improvement.

Its better than buying a new car vs one thats paid off.

Flash tune

Just got a Flash tune that has my 2014 550i msport hitting 560HP / 560lb ft torque...added the DINAN exhaust in conjunction. Also, apparently the same company that helps manufacture the CAT's for BMW has a high flow cat that can get another 100+ HP out of the F10 550i... need to sell some more at work so I can get my 550i pushing 660HP!

Somehow I'm EXTREMELY doubtful a high-flow cat will add 100+HP. Were that the case just eliminating the cat would yield an even higher number! Are you sure it doesn't say UP TO 100+HP? Even a 1HP increase is "up to 100+HP!"
