I'm sure I will do this slowly because, one money, two I'm too busy right now and three my E55 needs some love right now.

Hey! Mario,
I'm readin' all this stuff from the Left Coast to the Right Coast and across the Big Muddy to Great Britain. What's a brother to make of all of this?

I told my wife I have big HP plans for the MINI. She saif Foff. Get your own!

Here's my 1.6L:

Until I get my own transverse inline 4 I suppose it's an extended warranty on the wifes car------ie, no major mods

Until then, I'll live vicariously through you, Longboard, MSfit, and others who can lead the way.

Wouldn't it be great if all these builders could brainstorm together and come up with the ultimate MINI performance package. On the other hand, maybe the competition of the open market is the way it should be. For sure, with the speed of the internet, the industry leader will be made public in short order.
Regards

I went with the GT28 in 71 trim. Should be worth nearly 400 on race gas. I am running 440cc injectors, and a water to air IC setup.
