I think the S52 cams are mild enough to run with a supercharger..

I have to say Fowler is making sense here but from experience some people just love staying NA.

and lifetime guaranteed to boot.....
S50B30/32 kits are £6.2K
M50/52 are 3K bang on
Having sampled the M50/52 and M50 inlet with S52 cams, I'd save a few more £Â£ and go FI, its way more cost effective than any N/A tuning, especially given BMW did a great job on the M/S5X series engines in the 1st place.
@ Sal, any chance of sharing your new file for the M52B28 with Jay ? his car is SLOW as hell dude, S L O W
