    what to expect from mods?

    OK I'm just currious here.. I have a box of goodies for my 87' 4dr 325e that includes a bav auto chip, K&N air filter, 8mm plug wires, Bav auto headers and exhaust with cat delete mid pipes, a 3:64? I think.. Rear end from a euro 323 and lastly a bav auto rising rate fuel presure regulator. I'm currious what do you guys think I'll get for performance gains by adding all this to the car? Is it going to be quite the noticable difference? Is there anything else that would compliment the rest that I DON'T have yet? (besides a different engine!)

    Thanks in advance

    Depending on what diff you have you won't feel a difference. Make sure you don't pull a 3.73 to put that 3.64 in. Intakes, etc don't do shit. In my experience most of the power to be gained is from opening up the head (Or turbo). Engines have to balance everything.

    Compliment: Headwork. Open that sucker up. Bigger valves, aggressive cam, headers. Get a 2.7 block and slap an 885 "i" head on there w/i intake mani and throttle. That otta gitcha started. N/A FTW FTW FTW.

      ETA chip does wonders.
      the rest not except for decent exhaust but you don't have a engine that would benefit from exhaust mods.

        ETA chip is +24hp, last I checked. Cheapest power you can buy.

        You can benefit from exhaust upgrades, only in the form of real long tube headers. Eta's don't rev high enough to take advantage of anything else.

        But seriously, just chip it and be happy. Don't bother with the RRFPR. That will just make it run rich and waste fuel.
