Honestly, in a car that light, 100% stock would probably still run 12's pretty easily. Only thing I would modify would be the downpipe, since the factory y-pipe is a restriction, but other than that... really don't need much motivation for a 2400 lb car. ;)

I can't imagine the looks of the techs faces if I would to take that car @ the BMW dealer for oil change...lol
lol the funny thing is.. i acutally kinda did that.. wentto a shop near me that does bmw service. they also clean injectors. thats why i went their.. he cam out to look at what injector i had i popped the hood and he didnt say anything.. i showed him the injectors. as i started to close the hood he said," im not sure im done looking at that just yet.lmao."turns out they could not clean the side feeds. so i swapped in the 440s. and no i have a stuck injector . go figure. hoping its just a bad plug. going to move them around and see if the bad one works or not, i hope i can get it figured out i have dyno day this saterday. and cant dyno on 5 cylinders.

Nice. Could be wiring as well, couldn't it?

And for what it's worth, you can dyno on 5. I've seen plenty of Volvos do it. ;)
