The components look stout from the pictures. There's a lot of mass in the valvetrain with the chains and Vanos components. How does the combustion chamber/port design/valve profiles look? Do you think the roll off of power at redline is due to head flow limitations, valve size, cam profile, a combination? Just wondering where the best bang for the buck is to get more power out.

Thanks

damn reading that made me dizzy

TheBingoBalls · 12-23-2011, 10:41 PM

This is so awesome! I would've figured he would have a GT-R or something but a M3? Friggin cool!

needboost21 · 12-23-2011, 11:02 PM

Great Work. Keep the updates coming!

You know what? This will decimate all, after, you put about fifteen grand in it or more. If we have to, overnight parts from Japan.
