so it sounds like there is some actual usable power that you could move into the powerband from lower down. But wouldn't really kill your starts anyways or not so much because your launching at 4 anywho? I'm very interested in like 0-60 times between the two different cam placements, any thoughts?

From a 0-60 standpoint, here's what I do with my M42... I get out, lock the door, and then get in the M Roadster. Boom... 4.7 seconds to 60 just like that!
I love my e30, but it is what it is. My M Roadster will never hang with a turbo Viper. Lesson I learned a long time ago - there's always someone faster than you. Accept it and enjoy what ya' got :)

alright first use a quarter to remove the bmw cover over the spark plugs. Then pop loose the spark plug wires and use same quarter to pry out the edges of the big plastic piece (that surrounds the wires) from the sides of the middle of the valve cover. Then you can remove the valve cover (pictured below!!!) take out all the bolts holding it on and dont forget the 2 in the middle. also take off the vacuum hose in the upper right corner (the one below is an e36 engine so its in a different place)
then slightly loosen the bolts on the front of the intake cam (the higher cam) that hold the gears on. (second picture) adjust using a crescent or whatever else wrench on the other end of the cam (there is a square part section on the end) There are no degree marks you will have to guess. im not responsible for you fucking up your car in any way
