Best power adders + who has the highest HP NA?
I have a 06 330 that I use as my daily driver. It is paid off, so I just want to make it more fun to drive.
I am doing an AA Stage 2 flash along with suspension modifications (H&R springs/m3 sways) I am also putting some rack RG8 lightweight wheels on. I already have air scoops, K&N panel filter and charcoal filter delete. What else is there to do? Who has the most HP NA? |

^not completely true. NA engines need back pressure or else you lose low end torque, obviosly not to much back pressure but you dont want straightpipes either. when i have the money to do it i plan on a 3 stage manifold swap, catless headers, and a 75 shot of nitrous. its been proven that nitrous is safe to run in the n52. is is the most cost efficient way to add power before dropping thousands on a supercharger

I have a few friends with 335s. With my buddy's stock E90 335xi I can almost keep up with now. He can take me on take off but once we're rolling I am pretty much up past his mirror and he can't pull on me. Before the tune and 3 stage intake mainfold install I would be very close to his ass but couldn't pull past that. Now my friend's modded E90 335i still destroys me, just not as horribly.
