If you think you can get 400+bhp out of an S54 engine cheaply AND reliably, then you are sorely mistaken..... If you do it on the former, then you won't get the latter .

Mike,

Please allow me to remind you that your very first posts in this forum (~3 weeks ago) were saying that with cams, compression, head work, exhaust and map the CSL would make 400+bhp.
At that time, you haven't done any research about the engine.
A few people, including myself said it's impossible to achieve this without serious components that cost a lot of money.
Therefore yes I was insisting that it's impossible what you were saying.

Here we are 3 weeks later and you are saying like a true expert that it's impossible to do it without expensive components.

What is there to say now ? That BMW MS didn't have the expertise or skills ?
Because their components have a very small life expectancy with 415bhp on the race cousin of the S54, the P54B32.

Last but not least, can we stay on the subject which is about a BMW engine ?
Otherwise I will start posting pics and info of Superbike engines
