    Isn't your bottom end fully built? Why not more power?

    Not that those numbers aren't impressive lol

      Might have something to do with the tune.

      I'm pretty happy with the 500wtq!  That number didn't even cross my mind for the torque.

        s52 swap on the red one and an m54 swap on the M-tech 2 vert. Both very clean swaps.

          Dyno run youtube video.

          https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VGWG9hdezJo

          The zf320 has the 1:1 ratio in 5th gear so this was my car at 165mph!!  It was deafening.

          While they were programing the Dyno Jet the only option that the computer had was a 2.93 diff setting.  I'm running a 2.79.  Would this change my numbers?

              Yes, with the 2.79 calculated in, your numbers would be 496hp and 526ftlb. Did they enter the correct tire diameter?

                I think they did.  I wasn't over their shoulder the whole time.

                I like those numbers a little better!!!!

                  Was facebook messaging with a guy from Door County yesterday.  He has 2 e30 M3 and a S52 swapped e30!!  The m3's have CF intakes, ported heads and cams.

                          GTG looked fun - I'll have to try to make it next year!

                          Great numbers on the Dyno, must be the new wing.

                            Apparently the speed sensor is required to operate the ECU.236baad2aa802e39d8df1841b36030ea.jpg

                              I also need a cam sensor.

                              I'm in the middle of totally redoing my bathroom, wrapping up wedding planning and trying to work in between all of this. Hectic but I love it!

                                Cam sensor replaced and confirmed that the code stayed off. 

                                We are all good except the speed sensor issue.  I'll fix that when I replace the differential.

                                  I've been driving the car a lot!

                                  To do list:

                                  - Empty catch can.

                                  - Pop the new diff in and speed sensor.

                                  - Order new wheels and tires.

                                  - Get an alignment.

                                  - Clean wide band O2 sensor or order a new one if cleaning it doesn't work.

                                  - Put the hood back on.

                                        Nothing too crazy. 

                                        These for the front with a 10/15mm spacer running 245s

                                        http://www.nlmotoring.com/XXR-531-Wheels-17x9-Platinum-p/53179080.htm

                                        For the rear running 265s

                                        http://www.nlmotoring.com/XXR-531-Wheels-17x10-Hyper-Silver-p/53170083.htm

                                        I'm debating on the platinum (link for the front) or the hyper silver (link for the rears).  What do you guys think?
