    Just posting some pics and plans for the car. It is a 91 BMW E30 with a turbo 5.0 and C4 in it. The car has been 10.70s at 140 I plan on adding a transbrake and a different grind cam and see if it cant go low 10's or push it into 9.99. The car cant weigh much, I am thinking about running it down to the local truck stop and putting it on the scales

    Engine:
    Stock 89 bottom end
    Aluminum GT40 SVO heads
    Head Studs/Cometics
    Cobra Upper/Lower
    Complete Aeromtotive fuel system
    BW Bullseye s472 turbo
    Tial WG/BOV

    RPM Built C4 reverse manual
    Coan Converter

    Car made 530whp on 13lbs

    if the first lock fails you could allways have the 2nd one adapted to a 4 bolt with aftermarked caps it should be a lot stronger than a factorie 4 bolt

    I don't happen to post very often here, but this is a cool car! I can very much appreciate what has been done here. Did you happen to do all the work?

    Wish I could take the credit for this one, The guy who did the swap really did it up nice, making some nice custom mounts and a custom oil pan for the car. It retrains the factory bmw rack and pinion but uses the ford power steering pump. When I look at the car on a lift you can see alot of time and thought went into the entire build and the turbo stuff
