I'm going to post this in the M30 sectionOriginally posted by Matt-B -
but he's running the same setup I want to... I would rather see what kind of mistakes/problems he's run into before I start mine.
I have no illusions of getting "270-330" hp from an NA M30, though. I don't care how nice the tune is, or what kind of "hot" parts you have on it. Not gonna happen, unless you want to run Race gas, and rebuild it every 10K miles.Slicktop City!Comment

2b) Horsepower Gains (ESTIMATED):
i) remove mass airflow sensor ~20 HP
ii) remove belt driven radiator fan ~3 HP
iii) free-flow exhaust with headers ~40-55 HP
iv) upgraded injectors
v) completely resealed motor w/new timing chain
vi) shaved/leveled head (1 regrind left) +couple HP
vii) MicroTech computer Engine Management +HP
Ummm - 40 HP from the exhaust? Maybe 10?
20 HP from the AFM? Maybe 10 there too?Originally posted by Matt-BComment
