If you just want hp, you can always saving $ and trade in you XXX for a YYY untill you have a bugatti. In this route, you don't need to mod you car at all, it's waste of $.
However, I really doubt the N52 can be S/Ced, as it has been stated many times, the engine itself isn't strong enough to handle boost. My concern as well as many others is not how long will the blower last but how long will our engine last.

Good point...its a matter of being ration I suppose, the risk definitely doesn't seem the outweigh the benefits.

I'll definitely look into the modded 335s a bit more.

Instead of buying a 335 I decided to buy a car I didn't mind blowing up. I bought an e30 and am building a turbo kit. Even if AA built a supercharger I'd have to think twice about getting one.

Your car seems to perform great and you got the exact mods I'd like to try out here shortly, you seem content with it as well, I wish there was someone local with an alike set-up for me to try out

So true! ....Idk how many times I've learned this the hard way. Every experience has been a great one though, sometimes a risk comes with a reward.

Lol Combat Ninja.
I didn't mean to get you going...I'm sorry Combat Ninja. Didn't mean to shit on your opinion, if that's what you got out of it. Was a good topic for me, got me through a Monday....If I ever meet you, we can have a drink, on me
(if your of age)
If you all feel it was
Apologies fellas, we'll see what goes down either way, who knows 335 might be the best bet. M3 could be the best bet. Hell, I could wake up with a bag of sense and just get the damn Corvette already. Good talk either way...I'm sure I got some gears rolling.
I appreciate the input guys....sarcasm n all, its what makes a forum a forum.
