Its a subject for another thread, but I'd recommend you save you money and go for an S50 or S52.

Yes, I suggest getting an S50 euro motor as well.
No, seriously.
An S50US runs around $2500. Add Schrick cams ($800 net, after selling the stock cams), software ($150 used), 24# injectors ($150), Euro HFM ($150), you are already at $3750.
Might as well get a Euro S50B30 for around $5k.
I'm half-kidding, half-serious.

Honestly though, I am a little surprised with the numbers posted on this thread, throws me for a loop if I might add. Are these typical numbers or just bad examples ?
I am going to have to find some time slips for e36 325, 328, m3s and compare to get an idea. E30 should only be faster with any of the swaps and right gearing...Mtech1 v8 build thread - https://www.r3vlimited.com/board/sho...d.php?t=413205

I think most people go for s50 and s52's based on engine reliability and ease, & inexpensiveness of the parts. So many parts are interchangeable with the regular E36.
I also heard that S50B30 has vanos issues on earlier model engines.
It is just as fast as an s50 on a straight line because of the gearing I believe, it looks cool to have the ind. throttle bodies though.

it really depends on launch and reaction time when it comes to drag racing. i have yet to take mine to a track, but i already pulled almost a full car on an '03 carrera, by the time i hit 100. that was before i switched to my 3.25 diff, when i raced the porsche i was running a 3.73 which sucks ass with the ZF tranny. first is short and in effect useless(i.e i hit my 7200 rpm redline at 21 mph)...now i bet i'll pull a car and a half! i have an an s52, ZF off the same M3, 3.25 lsd, 24lb. injectors, 3.5" hfm, cold air intake, comforti chip for the mods, 6-1 turbo manifold as header with 3" exhaust all th way back (including a 3" vibrant high flow cat, a borla 3" race muffler as a resonator and a 3" vibrant muffler). if everyone here practices launching, and truly shifting perfectly, there is a world of difference. when it comes to drag times it's not just the car, it's mainly the driver :up:
EDIT: Wow. I now realize why people complained about my grammar...Last edited by e30polak; 04-25-2009, 12:03 AM.Check out Undr8d Empire on Facebook: www.facebook.com/Undr8dEmpireLlc

I know that mine would do low 13s with a good launch/driver.
I think some guys on here might be living in higher elevation areas affecting their times and, of course, most seem to be running puny tires.
