On a new engine, yes absolutely, but on a 15 year/300k mile old engine with worn piston rings? Easily. I think I also remember BP talking about how he shifts at <2k rpm, which causes more wear on the engine in the long run.Originally Posted by Sockethead

F me. I just scrolled up and read everything in order. Your ZHP is wimpy too. Got it.

I think you're assuming that I'm lugging my engine, which I am not. So, that statement isn't true...
Lower revs = less wear as long as no lugging is going on.

Yea, John.... getting back to that... We really like the new shifter. The throws are much shorter and the gates are precise. No more vagueness. I still think that 3rd and 5th are a little too close together but with the new shifter, it only feels awkward at slow speed, shifting slowly. I think it's something I would get used to if I drove the car all the time.
Installation was almost identical to the e46. The carrier is a different shape but it mounts exactly like the e46 6 speed. A nice thing they did with this is the rear carrier bushing unbolts from the body, making removal much easier. I had to drop the exhaust but it's a single 3" banjo clamp and like I said earlier, everything is brand new... so sweet modding a brand new car. Everything is perfectly clean and comes apart so easily. I can't wait for the performance upgrades... Probably going to be all Dinan stuff so there will be no warranty issues.
The short list for performance mods is: bigger turbo, bigger intercooler, new charge pipe, CAI and a tune. If we go all Dinan, it will be about $5k and add about 100 HP for a total of 470 HP at the crank. That should be close to her 135's output
