I am about 45 minutes from Milwaukee and sent the guy an email. The gear calc shows my 2500 rpm to be 72mph in 5th. I really don't care much about the lower speeds, but that is a bit high for the open road. I want to swap my wheel/tire from the 15"295-50 to the 17"335-35 which I think is about the same diameter so it would be a diff and speedo gear change. I could even upgrade the lockup pads to 50%. Also, my engine makes well over 400 torgue so that will be a pretty good strain on a stock E36. This may be the right time to go M3. Any thoughts?
