That'd be fun but buying the M3 has left me tapped out. Besides I still have factory and Certified Series warranty. I have no interest in HPF's style of modding. I want catalytic converters to pass driveclean without hassles, and I don't feel like paying for all their development of race fuel maps and methanol which I will never use, if I ever FI the M3 it will be a set up like Technique offers for 330s: 91 pump gas, turn the car on, and go.

I respectfully disagree. The only thing holding back 450whp is the fuel pump.

Are you advertising without being a sponsor?

is there even a charger that would put a 328 to 450 at the wheels i kind of doubt it thats big gains of a pulley i would think u would need to go turbo no smaller than a t3/t4 and if your guna wana build your motor i doubt it handle that power your just asking for trouble

You can disagree but I have seen first hand what 370whp does to a e36 m3 drive shaft if the tires decide to hook up

I know Bruce and I previously worked for him on this forum under a different user name

Now if your talking 400whp-450whp your going to need to upgrade internals, drive shaft, LSD, brakes, fluids, fuel pump ect. takes alot of money to get to a reliable 450whp !!

Just pointing out that you mentioned other areas of concern, yet haven't backed them up.

[bmwconnect]

It's not a matter of backing anything up it's more of a why would you run 450whp with shit stock brakes, stock open diff, stock drive shaft that will break, the life time fluid is no good and will break down in the tranny and diff when you start pushing the car, upgraded fuel pump is a given for the size of injectors you will need for 450whp

Happy?

Then get a fuel pump and make 450whp. I think you're the one with something to prove, so prove it!
