Donald-335i · 08-17-2009, 02:28 AM

Stett FMIC
ARDesigns 3" Catless DP's
BMS Meth Kit

*Question Is*

im a complete track junkie

and i love comparing parts to see how big a diff it makes on the track i only want to do one at a time to get the best possible number from that one part understand? (BTW) I only run pump gas 93 baby!

so if u were in my puma's what would u do first.... to get the best numbers.? lol

MuchMoore · 08-17-2009, 02:59 AM

FMIC makes an impact in both performance as well as cooling, Id lean towards that first personally.

Adamk24 · 08-17-2009, 03:05 AM

You'll notice the biggest difference from the DPs for sure but I would start with the FMIC.

So yeah go FMIC, then DP's and then go with the meth kit.

enrita · 08-17-2009, 04:05 AM

FMIC definetely first mod.

Digital.James · 08-17-2009, 04:12 AM

DP then IC

Bomis · 08-17-2009, 04:35 AM

I would get the DPs and intercooler together

DPs = more raw power
FMIC = more consistent power and prevents loss of power due to heat soak

Spydeputy · 08-17-2009, 06:08 AM

FMIS 1st.

5soko · 08-17-2009, 08:45 AM

Consistent results - FMIC
Bang for the power- DP
Together, best of both worlds.

Meth kit- can actually in a way be best of both worlds aswell, cooler and more hp.

Terrance28 · 08-17-2009, 06:33 PM

Meth kit you get the benefits of cooling and octane boost. Then dps, then fmic.

kenneth · 08-17-2009, 06:44 PM

If you intend to track regularly, it would be good to keep the engine happy aka upgraded oil cooler. You do not want to get limp modes for temperature being too high...... I'd do this and the intercooler before the go fast mods (tune and downpipe).

Unless by track you meant drag strip!

jpsimon · 08-17-2009, 07:10 PM

FMIC then DP

Blk07335i · 08-17-2009, 07:35 PM

1. DPs
2. IC
3. Meth

#1 and 2 are close...tough decision. Why not get all three.

Or do what Mike suggested and get the DPs/FMIC at the same time... that's what I ended up doing.

Donald-335i · 08-17-2009, 11:46 PM

i would like to do all of them at one time but also wanna help my fellow e9x's at the same time to let them know which made the biggest 1/4 diffrence so one at a time..

joec500 · 08-17-2009, 11:56 PM

The cooling bits from the BMW Performance Kit could also be interesting for you track junkies....

Zeph · 08-18-2009, 01:18 PM

I think by "track" he means the drag strip (or just "strip) so nevermind the cooling issues for the most part.

FMIC
DP's
Meth

FMIC is the worst part of a stock 335i
