    I need to pull finger and get around to grinding my bellhousing.  Have test fitted both sides loosely and they'll come together nicely I think.  Maybe tomorrow's job???  Once test fitted and good to go, I'll replace some of the studs with bolts and get the headers to HPC for coating.

    Cool, Gavin's a good dude and super helpful!

    I was running a JB Racing Flywheel and stock sachs pressure and unsprung friction plate which was fine.  Upon going to supercharger figured it was best to uprate and I regret listening to the guy at Autoclutch when they were still around.  He modified my 265mm JBR FW to fit an e36 friction plate (240mm I think?) with custom spline and associated release bearing, drilling new dowels into the FW and now everything is custom, uprating the spring force on the pressure plate.  The release bearing he gave me didn't fit onto the shaft of the gearbox and his comment when I questioned him was "it's all custom, what do you expect.  Use a flapper wheel to grind out the centre and make it fit".  I was not impressed after spending a lot of coin.  Setup is OK, but slips a bit when giving it sh*t 2nd to 3rd... which likely means an entirely new setup = $$$.  They shut down about 1-2years ago...

    I did run cams in mine too, so was a tad lumpy, but nothing I would expect otherwise?  Motor was running sweet after the rebuild on the standard M60B40 DME.  I did replace all vacuum hoses and modified the PCV setup at the time.  Best to check for vacuum leaks and the MAF before taking it to Gavin.

    Nice.

    Was that video at Gavins?

    Have you got a dyno printout for your more recent runs?

    And a video of the engine running at idle would be great too, to hear the lumpy cams.

    Yip at Gavin's.  I didn't ask for a print out, but we actually made 375rwhp before dialling it back.  I'm told his dyno often reads lower than others, but meh... a dyno is a TUNING TOOL, not a bragging tool...

    I'll take a video in the weekend of idle.

    Thats some decent output for NA.

    What is the idle like with the reground cams? 

    I remember my stock m60b40 540i had a fairly lump idle and that was normal, I was told. 

    Without the cam work, the idle was mint.  With cams, the ICV was struggling to keep the idle level and it hunted.

    Currently sounds good, can definitely tell they're not factory!
