    Schweet! Can't wait for the video. Did you fix the oil pan baffle issue yet?

    More or less - no noises and I can't feel the vibration I was feeling, but the 3.0" straight downpipe dump may be masking that... gonna build my other engine anyway - have you checked your PMs?

    You've been lurking in this forum enough to know that's an incorrect statement...

    These mods are never "done".

    Congrats!!!

    You *should* drag it just to see how you do for the power you make. And dyno, of course. I raced a e34 525i (94 I think) at the strip and he was running low 16s or high 15s and was auto. Thats not too bad for the extra weight and automajik.
