Been a little while, figured id post some updates. The stock motor never gave up with the 66mm on 34-35psi, she just kept on going. Hit a personal best of 166mph at mpact, wanted a 1/4 et pb, but ended up with a mph best of 146mph. Good enough i suppose lol.

Fast forward, got rid of the small bw 66mm and went with a pulsar 7170g, as well as built motor. Built 8 bolt, css, stock comp manley pistons, manley rods, arp hardware, ported head, ferrea valvetrain with shrick high lift cams.

Still on first revision, but cold = no traction.

That thing is moving :D
How much boost and timing is this?

How much torque did you apply to the ARP headstuds during assembly? Did you also do some heat cycles and retorqued the studs again?

I want a 135i convertible to build on so bad.

But my kids would starve with me spending every penny building it. Lol

That thing looks great!

Well, went to TNT last night, car kept going super rich (10.2afrs) and misfiring. Best was 10.3 at 154mph right off the trailer. The one and only complete (still troublesome) pass of the night :/. Time to put her away and switching to maxxecu/8hp70 over winter. Will be in full force next year!
