| Message: | Raced a guy in a bone stock 528e, for comparison, the other day. No smokey burnout on the launch, just to keep it fair. About even until around 3k, when the 325i stuff wakes up. Blew him off the road after that. First gear had more than two carlengths, forget about second. This is still with the eta dual mass flywheel, almost 30 lbs. Woulda been worse with a 325i flywheel or even a lightened aftermarket unit. The thing is that the eta fly seems to put a handicap on it until about 3rd gead. It pulls just as hard and accelerates just as fast through 3rd than it does in 1st and second. So dont forget about the flywheel. I have a feeling theres quite a bit more in there. -  Daniel Leahy '85 528e- e30 323i head, 325i cam, polished outside/ported inside intake manifold, 535 injectors, I.E. shorty headers, e30 320i ecu plug'd into 325i fuel injection, 3.73 diff. 341k on chassis, 5k on motor.
