    GREAT WORK! love this and love you still have the m20 in there.

    Where did you get your cam block off plate? I am going to guess you made it... but if you know who makes those I'd appreciate the knowledge.

      Thanks man! Therea a few companies that make those cam trigger plates. I think bimmerheads actually sells them now also. Sent from my SM-G892A using Tapatalk

          Finally got the new setup on the dyno. Made 632 wheel on a mustang dyno. We kept it super conservative through the mid range to make it safe as possible. And with the dct the car basically lives 5500 to 7500 during a pull. That was 28psi and you can see by the graph there's a lot left in it but I called it there, figured 632 was enough to break some stuff. Sent from my SM-G892A using Tapatalk

                Impressive. That's almost 4x as much power as my ix puts to the ground!

                I still think it's funny guys in 335i's think they're hot shit for having 400-500bhp "FBO" in a car that weighs 3600lbs..

                I'm glad the E34 front diff worked out. I'm pretty sure the E30 front diff would have exploded multiple times by now.

                  Lol ya hopefully I get to play with some 335's at some flashlight drags soon. Yep that e34 diff is holding up perfectly, I'm actually using the spare one that you mentioned didn't feel as good. I'm saving the better one to possibly play around with a front lsd at some point.

                        Christ the power curve was still heading firmly north on that pull as well, cannot imagine how damn fast that would feel from a dig

                          Interesting that a 2000 Trans Am or C5 Corvette are also ~500 RWHP "FBO"

                            I had no idea what y’all were talking about with this FBO, had to delve deep to discover it means full bolt ons

                            What a wicked machine! I enjoy this thread a lot, always pushing the limits.

                              FBO is basically moron speak for having a lot of money, to compensate for a small dick. That you didn't know what it was, if anything, is a compliment! ;)

                                Hahah, sounds like it needs to be added to urban dictionary so everyone understands the true meaning. I tend to stay out of the modern bimmer world, for good reason it seems.
