Sways will help your straightaway speed because you will not have to slow down as much to turn (it will actually give you better mileage too). Also big brakes will allow you to wait longer in order to safely stop giving you the illusion of blistering top end. This will also help the overall package of how the car works and enhance safty at high speed. If you are a stright liner type of guy forget everything I said and just blow it.

Without spending $5k+ on forced induction, what should my next step be, mod wise? Right now I have an ECIS intake, Dinan Stage 2 software, 18" BBS RK's, tint, my AVR E46 M3 spoiler is on the way, I'm lowering the car within the next 2 weeks, and I'm waiting for the 3rd gen AA exhaust to come out. What's next? Appearance wise I'm pretty happy right now, I'm getting m3 side mouldings/door handles painted when i get the airdam put on, and I'll probably get some eyelids too. At this point, I'm looking for some more straight-line performance. I've been thinking about a lightweight flywheel when I replace my clutch. What else can I do when I have that work done? M3 cams? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Chris
