Modifying M20b25

[IAm-Topik]

I'm modifying my 325is to possibly track next summer, and although i know a fair amount about modifying e36's (previous car) I don't know much about the m20b25 motor. My original plan was Schrick Camshaft, Schrick Intake Manifold, CAI/Exhaus/Headers, Custom burned chip and mabe other things.

Note these mods are NOT all that I'm planning to do, the suspension is getting done first. If you guys could please tell me if this sounds like a good idea...or of any other viable options leave me a note.

thanks all.

if you're going to track it - my suggustion would be to buy a whole new m20b25 (not nesseciarily "new" new, but new to you.) and rebuild it. And in the process, have some of it machined. Get the head ported, have the internals ballenced. Blueprint that baby... then hone the cylinders out a little bit, overbore like 1 mm for oversize high comp pistons or something. Just run a real nasty NA beast. I don't know exactly step by step the best way, but my machinest friend says the best way is to "Start from the oil pan, and work your way up."
