Picture "yours" hanging out of the front fender.. The M20 will handle it i bet, but the E30 chassis will not.
Get a E34 and your there.

In all seriousness, ive got an M20B25 with 171hk from factory. (and more than twice) The M20B20 got 129hp up here in europe.
Cant figure out why your engines is "weak" exept for possibly head (ive got 885) intake and EMM.

People have gotten over 400rwhp on the m20. The E30 chasis can handle well over 200hp.
