Don't forget the endless traffic! You know, how rush hour starts at 5 am and lasts till noon, then again from 2pm till 9pm 
.
Or how you'll randomly be going down the freeway at 1:30 in the morning and traffic will be STOPPED completely because someone pulled over to change their tire.
Yup, California

This setup still uses the stock intercooler and stock supercharger? Wonder if combine this with the work Jan's doin with his SC and intercooler?
here is what is in the engine as nothing was spared
Custom stroker crank
Custom Stroker rods with 220,000psi rod bolts..... 3/8" diameter (big block chevy size
)
custom stroker pistons
custom sleeves
ARP Main stud kit
ARP head studs
440cc injectors
RMW head
RMW Header
RMW CAM
RMW custom tuning
Custom bearings
New oil pump
New timing chain/tensioner etc etc
Balanced and blue printed
this is a full blown kit ready to roll....... you can start figuring it's NOT going to be cheap but when compared to spending 6K for a brand new complete engine it's not that expensive considering 100whp more than stock and 80ft lbs of torque and it drives like stock and looks like stock

stock intercooler
stock JCW intake
stock throttle body
stock coil pack
stock plug wires
stock intake manifold
we added a pulley to it today and gained 12 ft lbs of torque
big thanks to Danny at MiniCorsa as usual
LOL... 220ft lbs by 3k
talk about lightning fast throttle response..... we have finally hit restriction at the high rpms on the supercharger.... going to start working on that after AMVIV.....

Sounds awesome! 
Any chance this will offered as a kit? I ask because a vintage Volvo tuners sells a similar 2.0 to 2.5, but also sells the components as a kit (crank, rod, pistons) and the customer has their local machine shop do the block modifications.

Kinda curious, why all the bench testing with the stock SC and IC? Thought the future was with the Rotrex. Don't get me wrong, it's great that you can get these kind of numbers with the M45, it will save us, well the guy's that can even afford this, big bucks not having to spend even more $ on a new SC and IC. But just curious.

Should budget your money to get maximum gains. We stay away from selling stuff that gives little to no results

Get my new MCS, drive out for BimmerFest on the 3rd, stay in LA for the week and go to SOW on the 10th!
I'm in.
I'm planning on doing a lot of track days this year. California speedway looks like a high speed track. Long straights. Good thing we have an 8K red line .

It is lower than most mini's but I believe I was in 3rd there as 2nd produces massive wheel spin with the torque and the car has even more now
I will have someone video it next time... you can watch me gut some 225/40/17 Hoosiers
