It's coming and we're planning to chase down the G-Power hurricane.

No doubt it will be a challenge.
This engine build will make more rwhp than the Hurricane.
We have the 2 mile airstrip rental ready and going for the mph record.
We can dream right. No seriously, it will be fun to give it a go.

We also hope for blistering 1/4 mile times but with the rwhp anticipated there's concern for the SMG and drivetrain/axles on launch.
Time will tell and my checkbook may cry.

Your M3 is serious and will claim many kills.
Run one of the streets gold standards, a Z06. It should be fun.

Best of luck and kill'em out there.

Can't wait for production kits to hit the streets and Active is sure to push out something great for the E9X M3..Hey Ranger, would do you have in line for your M5, you mentioned a built motor (FI'ed)?

I've heard people saying the e9x M3's have the "wrong compression" for a blower. What does that mean?

MrBails the compression ratio of the new M3 engine is 12:1. The maybe considered to high.
With no internal changes of the engine components question comes up regarding the engine durability.
Forced induction at low boost (5 or 6 psi) maybe considered acceptible with a 12:1 compression engine.

Check about the warranty.

People said the same thing when the E46 M3 came out. They all shut up pretty quickly.
