FMU's should go in the trash!

What gains did you get out of this, I'm quite curious? The omly thing I see a Rising Rate FMU good for is when you are turboing a car and are a complete cheap ass, or have no other option for tuning.

1. Probably not all that much, but all I'm looking for is some more horsepower for a daily driven car, not looking to go 12s.

2. edit: nevermind

How much faster is it really going to make it?

and what would a rising rate fpr do on a N/A car?

This may be a stupid question, but is there any performance benefit to putting an adjustable FPR on a naturally aspirated engine? i.e. is there much tuning that could be done? I wouldn't think so, as unlike a turbo setup there is no large increase in volume of air into the engine creating a need for more fuel, but still the question remains.

Sorry if this is a stupid question. I had a BEGI rising rate fuel pressure regulator ($250) worked good for me.

[QUOTE=]Sunbelt Performance Engines, the leading name in BMW engines for the SPEED World Challenge racecars now has now released a 325 2.5L specific version of their Sport Cam set. The E36 215 Sport Cam was created using the most modern design processes, resulting in a product far superior to any other on the market for street and race engines alike. The high lift profile opens the door to new levels of power. Extensive attention to lobe shape allows the engine to rev safely to higher RPMs than seen before - with stock pistons and valvetrain, street or track (more information later). The powerband extends to the higher RPM range to make full use of this capability, but does not sacrifice low end torque.

Cams sold in pairs only to fit US 2.5L M50 Vanos E36 325 engines (1993-1995).

Gross cam lift: .411
Seat duration: (@ .004 hyd lift) 260.0 deg
.050 duration: 218.6
Lobe center Int: 114.0
Lobe center Exh: 116.8
Max RPM oem springs: 8000 rpm
Max RPM race springs: 9600 rpm
