    I havent timed my 318 since I chipped it and put in 4 pintle injectors with a more free flowing exsaust, but it will get out of peoples way just fine


    ( free flow exsaust= removed front muffler it was shot and rear muffler is pretty shot too alowing pretty good air flow and noise , and annoying rust rattle, magnaflow on order)

        3.64 or 3.73 differential will drop 0-60 time significantly.

        60mph in 2nd gear makes a big difference on an autoX course. Most aftermarket chips will allow the engine to rev to 7200-7500rpm which makes the engine even more flexible.
        too bad graph did not show rpm also, just curious

        whp= horsepower at the wheels...correct ? IM used to the old days, when the only thing was rear wheel drive , but it was listed as rwhp

        would also list torque at rear wheels....like I said olden days, late 1970's

            LS1 = chevy small block variant. Best swap is M50 for that price.
            The current fleet:
            1992 325ic: 148k-171k miles
            1999 Chevrolet Tahoe LT 4WD, 114k-142k miles
            1984 MasterCraft Stars and Stripes Powerslot (not a car :D) PCM Ford 351W, 904 hours

              fwiw I kept up with a very well maintained but stock 325is up to about 70 mph today. We both had bikes and bike racks on though, for what little difference that makes.
