To be honest I'll line up with you even if you dynoed at 320/350.

The fastest MS3 I have seen ran a 12.3 at 115 with 400 whp. My best time with my 332ti was a 12.8 @ 110 with about 35 hp less than its running now.

So back to the 13btt, I think that $ for $ an modded S52 will be a better investment. It will weigh less, be more reliable and make better power than the 13btt. After the custom mounts, wiring, and engine upgrades to make it perform better than a S52 would be a waste of $.

LS1 in a 318ti in my opinion is also a waste. The normal E36 chassis is a much better candidate to maximize the performance potential of the V8.
i already said this wasnt a thread about my MS3 vs your Ti. and i used to run mid 12's all day. i could go through every single modification on my old car to show you how i got that power out of 18psi, but that would be a waste of time, because idgaf. the car is long gone by now. This is about a ti

as for your point....thats nice, but i think its clear that i dont want an s52. I like the ingenuity of the wankel and thats that
