          Put a Hemi in it, a solid rear axle, and wrinkle wall tires. Then you can be a mad tight street racer and beat those gay STi/EVO fags :roll:

              Shit, you are half way there already, just from using the name 'Jdm' on a BMW forum.

                anyways back to the matter at hand im not gonna have a flame war they are retarted and only add to the down fall great informational websites like this one.

                it seems people have a strong opinon about something on this site they feel they should voice that opinion eventhought it serves no purpose or shares any insight to the tread at hand....

                so if you T.J. feel you are to good for this tread please do me and the others who are intrested in this a favor and post somewhere else...

                    No offense, you might be better off finding speed elsewhere. I think it might be easier.

                    That said, I believe that unique = $$$$. Early 318 + turbo 6. Light, lots of boost.

                    And we all wish we were as cool as TJ.

                      I still think the cammed S50 and boosted stroker are the best ideas. They're two of the feasible ones, at least.

                          Don't listen to ultra-cool TJ. Jordan and Ryan have the right idea. The big issue that your going to have with that sort of power will be traction.

                            you could do that with a turbo on the stock m20b25, IMO.
