Thanks Lee, it was a labor of love. At the time of sale, it was putting down roughly 285whp/290wftlbs or 350 crank hp which made for quite a few surprises for E46/E92 M3s, EVOs, and STis but the chassis was aweful. In the end, I realized (too late) that I could not overcome the fundamental weaknesses of the car and detuned the car which felt so much better.

Thanks Travis! The oil cooler is next on my list, I got a great deal from a guy at Stillen on their 25 row Setrab cooler kit so I would have it done along with a crank pulley. I have yet to see oil temps above 220-230 but I haven't been pushing the car much at all since it is still in break in.
