Just as an example, here's a stock M52 with a GT42 in an e36 with full leather interior that weighs 700lbs more than my car. The car is eased off the line because BMW's are prone to tearing the subframe off the chassis...yet it still traps 140 mph.

He purposely blew that engine on the dyno to see what it was capable of...25psi @ 704whp before bending a rod. It runs 9's now with a built m52 making high 99Xwhp lol!
Who said that? lol! I'm gonna keep the exterior 100% stock for now, big bumpers and all, bottle caps, with good tires. Then just slightly lowered with springs and shocks. Will be looking for a chassis to build the wide body hatch with.Originally Posted by simontibbett
