    well if your going to be adding all this power your going to need better brakes, have you considered cross drilled brake lines?

          There is nothing you can do to transmit more HP to your wheels. If you could buy a straight cut gearbox, that would cut your drivetrain losses a little.

          Any weight you remove from your drivetrain will help you accelerate a little faster (more HP sooner) but gives you no more HP for a given RPM.

          A solidly mounted engine/gearbox/rearend will make your car handle better, tho.

              from a thermo standpoint, you could decrease the coldest temperature of the power cycle. so you're looking a a scuba for the intake and driving into a lake.

              for the power train, reduce the frictional losses.

                If you you use a come along to ratchet a strap around the engine it will literally squeeze some horses to the wheels.

                  I guess I did ask the question a little off. At least I helped a couple of guys feel a little more manly tonight though :D

                        Yeah man there is a ton of extra power to be squeezed out with simple mods, everybody knows BMW engineers are totally retarded.
