Why a PM? Inquiring minds are interested, spit it out. :p

I don't have too much info but can share what I remember. My dad built some of these in the 90's for customers that wanted built strokers for their '92 325i or their E30 that had a non-VANOS swap -- without going to a new motor. That was before you could buy a complete M50 for under $500. I remember the 3.1 NV being really potent for a street motor with stock 240/240 cams (or maybe the swap/Schrick setup), pull the trigger at 2500 and it was like a freight train to 7000. Most of them were 85 or 86 bore at over 11:1 that really hauled, even in an E36. Though you could safely say the same for a VANOS 3.2. There was a chip for the 402, 403 or 405 that was custom and worked really well for the strokers, but I don't know where you'd find a copy nowadays. TRM or others could probably burn something.
