In Reply to: Best H/P gains for e30 M3? Help!!!!! posted by mteckboy on March 17, 2002 at 18:00:08:

Go w/ a full 2.5 conversion w/ Turner Stage 3 head, GRuppe a rally header w/ single 3.5 inch exhaust, 284 cams both sides and be done w/ it and have about 275 h.p. or so.But you will be 15K lighter in the wallet.

BUUUUUT, if you took your car to a road course and drove it hard in stock configuration, you may find that the E36 M3 will barely pull you on the straights and kill him thru the corners.

What is the point you ask? Simple, If you just want raw h.p. numbers than you have the wrong car. Get an E36 w/ ERT kit and you will really have it under the hood.

If you want a little racer rocket that will still shred cars that are 10 years newer at any road course around, then by god you lucked out and got a real beauty on your hands.
