hello guys

i've read www.bmwe34.net's "reciepe for power" but there are some
people on the board that disagree, or have different ideas...

so i'd like everyone's opinion on the best path to take for more power


i have a 91 535i 5spd approaching 160,000 miles.
EAT chip, 3.64LSD are the extent of my power bolt ons

I was strongly considering ireland engineering's headers, which
are a copy of RD headers....but for only 300 bucks

then i wanted to get the eisenmann race muffler and run that
with straightpipes to my cat.

on the intake side the dinan intake manifold came into play,
but bill r said it wasn't a good idea...that i should just send
my manifold to extrude honing

as far as the intake itself goes, well there is a company
here in my state, modern performance inc that was in the february
issue of grassroots motor sports

they have a MAF conversion, with open air cone filter that
showed a 25hp gain on a m5 motor....at the wheels...and
the cool thing about that was u could tune it with your laptop
so if u saw a rich condition at full throttle at 5700rpm, u could
lean it out a bit...

now this setup cost clost to $1000 dollars, but i think that it
has great expandability - so when i'm ready to move up to a turbo
then i'll have a lot of use for it...

my last idea was to get rid of the stupid dual mass flywheel....
this too though, would be an expensive job....


so what do you think i should do? in what order? let me
know any ideas comments you might have...thanks guys!
