quick question???

[m3hulk]

i've been reading in and out of forums trying to figure out a safe hp range for the stock OBDII block, and i have been tumbled around with different information. i plan on just supercharging my E36 M3 and was wondering if anybody had a problem with 300-350 hp with stock internals.please no bashing!!! done research just want an understanding feedback from people who actually know.

300-350rwhp should be capable. What kind of kit are you looking into? I'm guessing your going to run stock compression about around 7-psi?

It'll hold fine for those pwoer figures up to about 350 rwhp assuming you've got good tuning. Anything above 9 psi you should lower compression of the engine via headgasket or other such compression lowering pieces.
