I have the conforti cam kit with euro hfm now I feel like the turner software needs some tweaking though . I might get a dyno tune I am also hoping for the headgasket to go so i can shave the head to minimum spec and bump some compression. That vid of me beating the e46 was of an s50 with ebay chip, intake and stock cat sectionLast edited by aeryk7; 01-17-2010, 08:51 PM.

Note, I said "the RIGHT way", not slap a new headgasket in there and call it good. My shop does mainly moderate to high-dollar restorations so I'm not in the habit of cheaping out on parts or machine work. We often end up redoing cars that have been "restored" by other shops that cheaped out and fucked things up. It makes it hard to turn a profit but at least everything that leaves our doors is a quality product that will last, we have cars that are still being driven daily 15 years after being rebuilt!'89 325is S50 Track Montser

The head alone will probably cost at least a grand. Labor was not factored because I get paid for my labor, that's one of the perks of being a tech. :D
