    great dyno run!

    what shifter linkage did you end up using with the ZF?

      well then good for you man. good looking car. its nice to hear someone getting that much out of an s50 with mods and no boost. opens up a variety of options. thanx

        Thanks, I used the z3 shifter from the PO and the stock (?) linkage that was on the E30 when I did the swap.

        Thanks, Dyno results are really kind of subjective. I am am comfortable with the readings I got because of the compared results to the Maha dyno run on my buddies M50 car the week prior, and due to the similarity of the other cars runs and their mods (or lack of). The car always felt strong......

        There are results to be had NA for sure. Now the last step for me will be cams.

          Added a few pictures of the ARE rebuild from a few months back. Love the wheels, love the capabilities of the tire, but the tire size sucks!

          First page updated... I will take new photos (over the holiday break) of some changes I have made since first buttoning up the project. Better swaybar spacers, intake setup....etc
