"97 Cosmos Black ///M3 Sedan
Oversteer is when the passengers are scared, understeer is when the driver is scared"

Shouldn't that be the other way around?

Qtiger, the cams aren't really a question of compression rather the lift/duration aren't correct for a FI car.
Exactly what I meant. :yes:

haha i don't know about king but i'm quickly becoming the OG grumpy old man of the board according to josh too bad i'm not even legal to drink yet, come on july get here sooner!

Yeah it's a shame, i miss that car but there are always bigger and better things, i just want to tear my hair out when i see how much boltons are for the M3. It's like gee lets spend 450 on an exhaust, 350 on a chip, 400 on an intake and gain maybe 10 whp but at least it's RWHPmuahaha

Low compression pistons = more room to adjust cams without Mr. Piston hitting Mr. Valve.

Yes because that would become very ugly. I could see Mr. Piston telling his mommy "Mr. Valve hit me".
