EDR, what would you do to an E36? I'm thinking mine needs to be able to smoke the tires. Dyno'd at 227 rwhp. I want 300.
Find an M3 motor at a wrecking yard. The problem with normally aspirated cars is that the only way to get big HP gains is through displacement or supercharging. You can chip it and do the exhaust, go with a cold air intake and a bigger throttle body but in the end you might get a real 15% HP gain. To get a legit 300 rwhp you'd have to open the motor.
