    Brag that you have 750 and not "just" 500

    Um, break into the low 10's or high 9's.

    Research it up. E36's with <650 hp/tq are in the 11's still.

    Also. You can go to a dyno shootout, and dyno 753rwhp - knowing you have probably 900 crank horsepower.

    Theres really no justification for it except that the difference between 500 hp on an M50 and 750hp on an M50 is about $150 for a larger wastegate and different compressor housing.

    Re: 1/4 mile times, I guess if that's your thing, okay.

    Re: $150 for 250hp, okay, I get it now.

    Will it still be streetable?

    Yes. There's about a $75 - $100 price difference between a Tial 38mm wastegate (for like 500 hp) and a Tial 44mm waste gate (700+) and another $100 or so difference for a larger AR housing for the turbo... still streetable...and street legal, etc.

    How often do you drive the car? I can't imagine what it would be like to have 750hp under my right foot.

    Is it loud? What have to spent to come this far? Could it be used as a daily driver?

    I'm dying to learn more about your car, Jon.
