I think for £1500 you'd be struggling to turbo or supercharge your engine. Its not just the major items of kit, its the little items that creep in like gremlins ! you defo need a rolling road session and map for the fueling, running lean on a FI engine will soon melt it. I had/have got a wideband la...

the m44 has great potential for boost, very strong engine. M3 clutch is a good way to go how many revs do you want to pull ?? head work is expensive on the m44 as are the cams and followers. i bought a complete spare head to work up (still got it) but never bothered as cam and follower prices seemed...

Cold heater !
