engine mods
does anyone have a list of engine mods for the m104?
i was thinking maybe a chip or something that is easy to do. not super expensive and has a nice kick to it. btw 3-6 hp increases dont usually translate to the wheels. however i know engine management chips tend to make great strides on driveability.

not much you can do on performance mods to these engines.
For one, the chips arent going to help this car. I looked into it a while back, and the gains were negligable.
The only cost effective way to get more performance is in changing the differential to a 3.27 instead of the 3.07 that is in the car now. that will make the car a bit quicker to 60, but gas mileage and top speed will be affected for sure.
Personally for me my car is fast enough. if I want a faster car, I'll buy a faster car. its not worth the expense of trying to make this engine faster. You could go with a pricey turbo kit (not cheap) or bore it out (probably around $10,000 - $15,000 depending on who does it.)
