My and a Typhoon got to play with a new M3 on Hayden and Flank Lloyd Wright. The Typhoon launched and put about 6 cars on him and held him off. I didn't launch and still put about half a car on him till about 80. I only had the intake and chip at the time and was running 16lbs and some wicked knock. BMW's with blowers are also very expensive, can't imagine what the blower set you back. I haven't done the research but I've heard to fix up the bimmers costs a pretty penny. What power is the car making?

Actually I bought the car from a friend who put the supercharger on the car when he owned it. The kit cost like $8,000 and once installed I think he had about 10K in it. It is kind of the only reason I bought the car. Unfortunatly it is a non-intercooled setup and puts down approximatley 260 to the wheels. The car should be good for mid 13's. Nothing outrageous, but just a fun daily driver. What kind of times does your Syclone run, honestly that is probably my favorite car ever made, I have considered buying on of those several times over the past couple of years, just never did. Tell me more about yours.

Once I get my tranny in order I should be in the 12's pretty easily. With just my chip and intake, on 18lbs and knocking I put down 309 AWHP and 452 AWTrq. With the Alki I'm at 0 knock with 24 lbs and very agressive timing. Should be easily over 500 torque now.
