I voted no as well. I think that the M3 is perfectly balanced as it is.

I say NO !
In my experience, any car that has been FI'ed of any sort (turbo,supercharged) artificially, (meaning not left the factory that way ), are always problematic this way or that way. Sometimes it is a small clip of a hose that comes out or sometimes a major engine break down. Either way you loose the reliability of a perfectly engineered stock engine !
I totally understand tuning an already turbo or SC car to the limit but if it has been an aftermarket add on, NO !
Not to mention the lack of instant specialist of that aftermarket company near by.

You need an incredible line up to satisfy your speed addiction so please let this LAST NA M3 as it should be.. New one will be Turbo anyways, you can always tune that to ridiculous numbers anyway..

Just my 0.02$

I think Clubber touched on a few important points. As he stated, the next M3 will be force induced in any case. Makes one look from a different angle I think I'll just sit tight and wait until the GT2RS arrives for silly speed.

Thanks for everybody that contributed to this thread

Mike PM Montana he knows his M3s!!!!!!

One point on FI, when done you really need to "de-tune" you engine to keep it from falling apart.... Look at the GT2RS Porsche has lowered the comprasion soooo much in order to fit them twins and have them push the car to 620ish hp

I would like for you to also take a look @ Active Autowerke kit. They have an excellent track record and they're being supplied with the legendary HKS craftmanship superchargers. For some reason or another, things made by these two companies last forever.

Not sure what ties you have to ESS but Active Autowerke is having a promo right now on their kits. Give em a call. Talk to Omar or Jean.
