Back in 2003 we graced the inside of our first magazine known as Super Street. 50 plus features, tech articles, event articles, and more later, we are still at it and this time with Modified Magazine. Modified Magazine has done a lot with Vivid Racing over the years. Featuring our Subaru WRX II in 2004, our Mitsubishi EVO VIII, a multi-part story on the Pepsi RX8, Modified Magazine is proving that print is not dead (RIP Sport Compact Car). So fresh for the January 2014 Modified Magazine is a feature on our VF Engineering supercharged BMW M3. This BMW M3 was an amazing project car to us. The E90 M3 already is a beast in its own with the V8. The VF640 kit puts a dyno proven 150+ horsepower to the wheels. With upgraded Brembo Brakes, KW Coilovers, H&R sway bars, and Niche Wheels, this really was the best daily driver ever. Between our installation videos, Getaway in Phoenix Blonde Bombshell video, and our epic desert drift video, we definitely put in work with this car.
Go pick up your issue and make sure to check out all the old videos and pictures here.

That looks like it makes a lot less power than advertised, even assuming 10% loss that under 600 BHP.
Noah if you look at the dyno and the gain of over 150 wheel
horsepower, you will see it is correct. The Mustang dyno reads low
and typically has a 20% drivetrain loss. Not to mention 91oct and a
100f day. 640 x .8 = ______. See here
