330i seems to have potential for over 400hp

[drhendrix]

Through extensive seearches of this board, it seems that with Pulleys, SC, Intercooler, Cams, Headers, Exhaust, Ported Heads you can increase the hp of a 330i to over 400hp. I've listed mods that you can buy today with stated gains (min and max). Does anyone have all or most of the listed mods? If so, how much hp are you getting?

I thought that all supercharger kits come with their own pullies? :dunno:

Forget all that and just for the SK4 upgrade.

To bad Mods DON'T add horsepower UP that way! Nice thought though.

I've got all the above, minus the ESS (ASA SK1 instead) and no pulleys. Car is currently putting down about 370HP, but this is without any ECU tuning nor larger injectors and a redline of only 6100RPMs, which only equates to about 5.5-6psi of boost...plus my AFR was all over the map. 400HP+ will be possible once we get it tuned and install an SK2 8psi pulley...I will update everyone once this is completed shortly. :)

ESS uses ASA now.. once again proving to us that ASA is the kit of choice, almost all the big euro tuners now use ASA(ie Alpina, Hamann, G-power, Kellners).
