          I don't have any clue how an eta could even hold a candle to an E36 M3 in straight line acceleration, but I guess that is besides the point.

          Have you considered swapping in an M20B25? You could do it for like $500 and thats an instant 50hp for you... the powerband is more suited to autocrossing as well in my opinion. I have a B25 block and head and some acc. at my house that you can have if you want them.

                  9.8's are good for i cars. What was your 60' and trap speed?

                        I personally would just swap TJ's spare head on to get the dual springs and cam. Maybe shave .020 off to bump the CR. Then, find an "i" intake manifold, TB and 173/JC or MD ECU...buy a set of 19Lb injectors, header...all set to be close to 200 WHP. Tuning, maybe the bigger AFM (or SMT6, wOOt!) and you should have a tire shredder.

                        That is exactly what I am planning, come spring, but starting with a 325is.

                        If I were you, I would start looking for a set of 3.73's though. Mine spin too high for my taste, but I am not planning on changing.

                              It's a downgrade from a 325i. You can still build a 325i stroker.
