Yeah man I'm diggin it big time! Looks even better with the ZR1s on it. It reminds me of my black LT1 I used to have.

I'm going to be cutting my bump stops and BFH'n my inner fender w a few other things this weekend. I'll be sure to post some new pics w the rims after this cold spell we are supposed to get in Chicago this upcoming week.

Yep, that's the base price of the stroker kit.

I read on a BMW forum that the M3 has 40K in mods, not sure if that's true but it's entirely possible.

I knew it was going to be an amount that was unbelievable, I was correct.

I'm really not that surprised. Its just amazing why someone would spend that kind of money, for that kind of return, when it comes to performance.

Nice runs man!!! Z's running like a boss...

What was the trap on both cars? Again awesome runs and NICE Z!

I have a friend with an E92 with cai + exhaust- M6- that was talkin smack. So I sicked the big girl on him. At the time my only mods were headers, CAI, and tune. Now I cant get him to run again...he scared now! LSx motors FTMFW!

quick search on the m3 sites.

Boring and stroking the engine alone costs $22,999!

That does not include the pulleys, software, high flow air intake, high flow throttle bodies, free flow exhaust, etc

Why is everyone on that board so hung up on saying power under the curve? These cars are racing...on the highway...its not like theyre powering out of corners or lugging around at a low mph and rpm and punching it..

lol, mine was a bit sarcastic to play into the stereotype..

BUT.. That was the wrong thread, i meant 40pages in this one:
http://bimmerboost.com/showthread.ph...ost-Comparison

I own an S65 powered M3 obviously.. and boosted they are nasty. but N/A they are not bad, but nothing to fear.

the stroker kits do come complete kits, but you get between 420-440rwhp, and yes, its $20k + for them..

VAC Motorsports, close to me, has actually just built a few that are really tempting as they seem to be more aggressive and better power and reliability.. but i like boost..
most of these dyno 330 (me) -350rwhp stock, and 370-390 rwhp bolt on

boost is a much better option for these cars, they respond well, but of course, the s/c kits are overpriced as well..
