Thanks for all the links! From the sounds of it, these strokers look like they need hot cams and a very smart tune to get the full potential out of them. Reading between the lines these motors seem like they are best for the end user that will be tracking the car.
For me, first priority is long term reliability. What's the opinion of the forum regarding a new stock motor vs the Dinan 4.2L? I'm leaning towards the 4.2L since it addresses several issues associated with the stock build. Would the M3 community perceive the Dinan motor as an upgrade?
Can you run the stock tune on the Dinan motor, at least long enough to get the monitors ready for smog? Smogging a car in California is soon to require a stock tune.
Great point. I'll confirm.
