M5 vs. 318is

[DaN]

For people who don't know (myself), what is your exact setup in this "318is?"
What kind of power are you putting down?

Hand-built S50B30, with a good amount of hp, wanna say somewhere in the 280 range?

227 to the wheels with a Racing Dynamics 2.5L chip. Put in a new chip last week, it's pulling harder and turning 7100. I'd say it'd peak 230whp now, but I picked up a lot of midrange.

Car weighs 2620 pounds.

Slightly off topic, but Stu, did you paint your valvecover black at the front or are the m52/S52 v.c.'s interchangeable with the m50/s50 v.c.'s?

[bimmerphile]
