Ha! Another former 420 instructor in the house!

Nice numbers! You should invest in a dyno day and see what kind of power your putting down.

[DrMcDave]

i think he did dyno it at like 369whp or something, but i forget, its on e30tech somewhere.

Donovan, how is working your 2.93 ratio diff for let's say city driving? I mean how laggy or heavy turttle is in lowRPM's/speed reaction?

I installed a 2.93 LSD some time ago but never tested it since my car was/is under construction yet.

[BMWSOB]

hey guys, dont come here much really.... any real questions? you can just email me or find me on e30tech. BMWSOB@yahoo.com


Yea, I did dyno with a so-so tune. 365hp and 409ftlbs of torque at the wheels. I'm adding spark to MS soon and should pick up some power hopefully. Still need to get to the track, kinda waiting to get the spark going though. I want to make the best of it.

Deigo, the 2.93 is kinda nice, I think im getting used to it. a 3.25 might be a little better but i like the long gears i think. the low gear helps with spool, not so much with acceleration. But thats ok because of the power!! I can easily spin all the way through 3rd if i want to on street tires. I did it monday around an e46 M3....

retired 420 instructors ftw
