  2. Any "uprate" to your cam will give you a payoff in some rev ranges but affect you elsewhere as well. A 272 will give you slightly better mid range and top end power, but you will pay for it in fuel consumption, and at the bottom end, i.e, torque off the line - the power you most feel in normal road car driving. The consensus seems to be (and I looked into this pretty long and hard when I built the 2.7 in my e30) that factory standard is pretty good, and without some serious porting and improving the flow of the head, and going to aftermarket rockers and uprated springs etc a better cam may not really add much to an M20 (although it will make it idle nice and lumpy). If you want the cheapest option and best bang for your buck, the factory standard cam from an early M20b23 is slightly higher lift than the one in b20/b25/b27 motors and that's what I ended up using. Of course the purists will argue that you can get significant gains with a 272 or better, and you can, you just won't notice it until you hit about 4500RPM. Which is nice, and sounds great, but if you end up having to give it a boot full of revs to get off the line it makes you look a bit try-hard, especially if you're in traffic. Worth a crack though for a bit of fun, especially if you can get one cheap.

    My 2 cents worth.....


  3. id go the 328, And dont be shocked how close they are performance wise. A mate of mine has owned an evo6, gtst amongst other cars and was more than impressed with my 328, even though it was an auto at the time. Also they are a lot more solid car. Not that i have anything against gsr's.
