sounds good. I'd love to do the mods you have along with headers to get the max power out of my car. especially considering i'm never selling mine.

My mods were actually "accidental"
-i was offered the exhaust, and took it cuz there are few 128i options out there
-i jumped on the manifold because a local yard listed it on carpart.com I figured i could save on shipping.
-i found a classified ad for both msport sideskirts in my colour AND e93 sway bar

If it wasnt for these events, i would have coilovers & maybe even wheels by now.
So i deferred suspension for power gains lol

I recently learned that CTSCC teams that are running 128i's in the ST class are using Bosch Motorsport injection. My 128i is my next racecar and I really need to get to the bottom of this power thing. What better source I can find besides a grand-am team, isn't it?

Evice, they use full motec Ecus which have to be tuned from scratch on a Dyno and on track. The engines they use are also highly modified with increased rev limiters and dry sump oil kits. One of the cars was for sale, it was selling for 100kusd

That's what I heard as well Motec is used however this team I talked to was using Bosch Motorsport ECU.Also, no on rev limiter or dry sump. Sunbelt I believe builds those N52s, at least seals them.
