My BHR Expirience

It's 12:45am, and I have to work very early in the morning. But I wouldn't feel quite right if I didn't get in here right away and say thank you to the BHR guys. The reason I am not fast asleep is because I couldn't bring myself to make that last turn into my neighborhood until my tank was absolutely empty.

I'm not a mechanic by any means. But I'm reasonably intelligent and I'm not afraid to try. I have read about everyone else’s experiences installing their kits, so I knew it was going to be a tight fit, and yes, it was even tighter than I expected, but I had the kit installed in just over an hour. I finished up at around 9pm, so had to run out for a quick test drive.

Improved throttle response? CHECK
I love my 8 again like the first time I drove it? CHECK
I drove the absolute **** out of my 8 for more than 3 hours straight after the install? CHECK

I'm sure my old coils were not in good shape and the plugs were pretty shitty, but I didn't expect THAT much of a difference. Ran it through all the gears and revved it right out many many times and it never missed a beat. The NO to GO is probably the most improved. Every time I launched the car before, even in daily driving situations, i would rev it to about 3 grand before i even started letting the clutch out. I think now the wife would even be able to get a descent launch out of it.

Mr. Hill, I thank you. BHR crew, I thank you. Know that you are putting a HUGE smile on someones face with every kit you build.

Now I gotta get to sleep as fast as I can so I can get up and drive my 8 to work! My god that's that gonna be the best part of the morning......

Ya BHR is the BEST! If it wasn't for CRH and the BHR team I would have never put nitrous on my car. Thanks BHR!

I'm glad to hear you're enjoying your kit. We're always glad to hear from people who fall in love with their car all over again because of something we've developed.
