97 m3 want 250whp what should i do

[stickfingaz]

how are you doing i recently bought my m3 it has a borla exhaust and 2 high flow cats im looking to get 250+ whp what would be the proper steps to acheve this goal

[villlein]

dont the 97 models already put out about 240 hp?

He's referring to wheel horsepower, not flywheel horsepower. Typically OBD2 E36 M3s put down about 210 horsepower at the rear wheels, so he is looking for an additional 40 rear wheel horsepower.



Many people have had success with the Eurosport Schrick Cam Kit. If you want to hit that number and stay normally aspirated, you will likely end up using most of these parts so I suggest just buying it together: Eurosport Catalog Of course it can be done cheaper than this, but this is complete, and many people can attest to the performance.

James beat me to it. All in one package, all wrapped up and ready to install.

Yeah; the question is not bang for buck; the question is if you want to keep it as a NA motor.

its not 40 hp its 40 rear wheel hp, big difference.the conforti package takes the us spec e36M3 from 240 hp at the crank to 300+ hp at the crank not the wheels.
