slowe30 0 Report post Posted October 18, 2011 if you want something simple and effective, an m52b28 would be a good choice. if you want a little more go than that an m series motor could be an idea (s50 or s52) if you want evan more then your looking towards a v8 (an s62 would be awesome) look on youtube for cars that have already had one of these engines and pick and choose between them dont know much about supercharging so ill just leave it there Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
