Add a few cc to help even it up a bit and its a different story.
Click below link!

You cant compare modded with standard so In the same breath Metric mechanic do a 3.2 M20 so its also a different story.

In their own words about the 3200 engine,

"Will do the quarter mile 13.5 seconds in 105 mph! ”˜Nough said!"

:)
:( A 2.8 m20 build seems so pointless now.

Man I wish I'd never asked!!!

I think the 1st five posts answered my original post, this thing has spiraled!! Sucks that I will have to complete
my rebuild before even having an opinion either way...

Funny all the passion this debate stirs up - really we're all e30 owners - can't we just get along?
