525E lower CR bottom end

885 head

stock cam and 2-5 inlet mani iirc

Neil, DO NOT fit the E36 M3 injectors !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

nor do you require an FSE

your AFR plot is 11.5:1 @ the top end, there is plenty of fulling in the system as is for the spec of youyr engine dude :thumb:

The cat and shrick cams with same the numbers are not actually the same profile, they measure and calculate lift and duration in different ways so a cat 272 and shrick 272 can be very different profiles.
