you seem to have a lot of question marks lol...

 

if you have the head off, cc it with a spark plug in it. you will often find they are a bit different than what you might find on the internet.

[Garett 103]

Not yet, sounds like a good idea

[Garett 103]

Some good things have arrived, still a lot to come

[Garett 103]

Ok so used this handy calculator found here... http://www.csgnetwork.com/compcalc.html

Going to go with -18 dish pistons which should get me close to 9:1

The S50b32 cylinder head i brought was missing a lifter, ive placed that on order along with a 2,75 shim and 2 oil squirters that the goat stood on and destroyed

Hate it when that happens.

[Garett 103]

Yeah hes a payne in the ass, anyone want a goat... stands on bonnets and chases people i'm sure he'd make a good stew for the right person

[Garett 103]

My sister had a goat that would butt at it's own reflection. Cost me (and others!) a door skin until I learned to drive through all the dirty puddles on the way to see her.

Dont use a single piece drive shaft bro, after speaking to the guy at ANL you get lots of vibration from them and you loose a lot of strength so have to use a larger diameter pipe to get the same strength and stop the sagging. But if you want to go that way go and speak to ANL and have it custom made

[E30-323ti 66]

Speaking from my experience also, do not go for a 1pc driveshaft.

I went through 4 variations (diameter / thickness) to get the vibration out of mine to no avail.
Went back to a 2pc and is smooth as silk.

Cool thanks guys i'm on the fence about it all right now. 

After talking to a few people it doesn't look like i'm going to be able make my target hp of around 800-850 well reliable hp anyway as it will cost a stupid amount upgrading gearbox, driveshaft, diff, axles, clutch to be able to handle prolonged use of it
As sad as it is i'm going to have to admit defeat and just try see what happens at Dyno time with the new mods to the M3 engine only and see if there are any loose links that need attention then
