you should be able to toast a e46 m3 with a code3 and heat exchanger. In terms of cost, the EC shortie headers are probably your best bet or you can PM hooleyboy if you want some good quality Long tube headers.

Your going to need a EC 185 crank pulley to even keep up with the last cars you mentioned.

I have run my buddies 135i with Dinan software stage 1 and bmw exhaust, so about 5k in mods. We ran from 60 ish to well in the triple digits. Initially I pulled a half car on him and was hyped... then he reeled me in and started to pass. At that point I was like damn he is going to walk my ***. He got a half car on me and could not gain one more inch on me till we let off. I had a passenger in my car and the mods in my sig. He was flat out amazed as was I at how well my car did. We both though he would ruin me. He did not mishift and we both agreed it was a clean run. I had about a half tank of gas as well. Hope that helps

You are my hero thanks a 135 is alot more serios than a 335i cause of the curb weight if you would have had your passenger out u would have had a car on it easy

I know I wish he wasnt in the car, he was supposed to record it and all he ended up getting was the end after we let off and were talking about how sweet it was.. It was easily the best race ive been in and I got into quite a few with my STi. I was so proud with my 9 year old car (01 build date)

Ditto on what Temjin (Mike) said. It also really depends on the mods that the 335 has but if it's full bolt-ons and JB3 or PROcede V4, forget it. Not even 185mm with full bolt-ons and cooling mods would keep up.

You have the priorities right though, I believe that heat exchanger is the most important upgrade 32K owners can do. I did everything else before HE and was always wondering why I couldn't win more than three times against cars that I just killed before
