It's an extremely potent motor and the S50 in particular had a pretty violent power hit up top when the cams came on. I never liked my '99 m3 (s52) that much because it felt like a dulled down, tamed version of the earlier design. In a lightweight chassis like the E30 that 330+HP would be more than enough IMO.
Again, not trying to detract anything from your build, just sharing my experiences and opinions. A big displacement, high-revving V6 in an E30 is quite frankly awesome and I bet it'll be an absolute monster to drive!

True bro but the mods you counted will cost more thn the vq37 engine .. now you can buy the engine from junkyard for around 2000..3000 dollars with tranny and the s52 motor with machining and cams and labour charges and all the extra stuff you said will cost more thn 6k to 10k and also it will not be as reliable as unopened nissan motor and also if you want to spend same amount of money on vq37 lol the hp numbers gonna b crazy
