Hello
I've got an S-38 powerplant like most of you reaing this out their. Any one have lightened engine parts in their powerpalnt? From Titainium spring keepers to lightened rod, flywheels, pulleys. I just hand filed and dremel polished my rods to the tune of 587 grams. No cap bolts, no bearing with piston pin bushing still intact. Thats rufly 40 grams lighter than stock. I also have a set of Forged Wiseco's 2mm over awaiting their final burrial inside the engine. Also to the tune of 40 grams lighter.

Just purchased an Engine management system from SDS(Simple digital sys) model Em2e which does spark and fuel. No lap top required it has it's own programmer! WWW.sdsefi.com I've never rode in a M car before and will have no idea what to expect. Anyone else out their running after market ECU's. If so get back to me, I'd like to know your thoughts. It will be 2 months before this engine is ready for a written report.

Anyone have any expereances with ram air?

Opposite lock anyone?
