    nooone is making a m3/m5 killer?? THis alone brings you up over 300hp at the engine not to mention how much lighter this car is than the M5. Add some exhaust and retune for about 8psi and youll be in hillbilly heaven.

    My '95 525 is a daily driver with only 60,000 miles on it. I would love to have more power as the acceleration from 60 to 100 is pretty slow. I live in Germany and travel the Autobahn twice a day so I could 'exercise' the new-found power right often.

    I am not too familiar with methanol injection combined with supercharging. I figure it sprays to cool off the pressurized air so it would only spray under boost conditions? This does not sound like the fix I need for extended time under boost (possibly hours at a time). Could an intercooler eliminate the need to lose my windshield washer system to the methanol injection?

    Yes methanol injection is to cool the boost charge, It only comes on at whatever PSI you set the switch at, (2-10psi). The engine doesnt need this, its just to cool the charge and raise the octane level a bit to make sure there is no detenation. you can always hook up a remote resevoir to the pump instead of using the washer fluid container. I know they make 2 gallon reseviours that go in your trunk, that will last you some time. An intercooler will cool the air charge but will not raise the octane level. LIke I said the kit works great without the methanol injection but, with the meth you can boost a little higher. You could buy a smaller pulley and go up to 8psi instead of 6psi and get even more power out of the motor. the possibilities are endless.

    True, true but I need a car I can drive everyday with around 70-100 extra ponies. What the car really needs is for the torque band to come down about 1,000 rpms and flatten out some. Then the thing would drive much more comfortably. Do you think the supercharger set-up would do this?

    I would love to see some dyno charts from this set-up.
