I have my 3.73s installed now and turn off all the nannies so I'd like another crack at him.
Going to add headers and a full exhaust hopefully this summer.
I'm around 650rwhp now.
So, turned everything off, and took her for a ride.
Is it my imagination that the car seems even quicker?
Quicker response, quicker shifts, even more torque.
Okay, here's a noob question. I've been reading about the different stability control modes.
Would it have helped if I was in sport, or is that just from the dig and not a roll?
Yes, I'm going to look into getting a dragy. I see one on Amazon for $159.
On the mods, I've discussed next steps with my tuner, Lidio. He advised full exhaust, whipple and possibly E85, though I'd prefer to stick with 93 if possible.
He advised not going over ~730RWHP with the stock block...
So, put over 100 miles on the new 3.73 and decided to try it out a bit. I still didn't want to drop the hammer 100% yet, but let's just say the pull from 50 in 2nd was insane! Maybe I'm imagining it but I think I would've at least given that BMW a better race with the new gears!
This is what I have done so far.
Whipple CAI, Whipple Twin 68MMTB, Metco 2.4" upper, Metco Auxiliary Idler Kit, ARS Belt Tensioner, NGK Plugs, MGW Shifter, Nitto NT555 R2s 295/35ZR20s out back
and of course now the 3.73s instead of the stock 3.31
Bumping this old thread since I finally got the 3.73s installed.
Lidio said to run it conservatively for about 100 miles to break it in.
What should I expect from the 3.73s? Better/faster launch? Better from a roll?
I know I mentioned running that BMW M4 competition and getting walked...
