With the chips I described, it should be more like 330+ HP and 390+ ft-lb torque.

Probably 400+ fl-lb with chips, CAI, and exhaust. Still, the chips should be enough, assuming I even get around to installing them. The stock power is pretty impressive given the weight the car, especially on the highway. The M70 has a wide power band at cruising speeds.

Even at stock power numbers, the E32 with M70 V12 was supposedly factory tested to 186+ MPH with the 155MPH speed limiter removed. However, I have the extended "L" body, so being realistic about the added weight, I am thinking more like 170-175MPH with the tuning chips.
