    DoubleD, with comments like that and others you have written it makes it really difficult to have any sympathy at all for BMW racers. ...
    If you or the other BMW racers don't like it ...
    If you are planning on staying ...

    Ron, don't lump him in with BMW owners or racers. Apparently he's neither. That makes it pretty hard to figure out why he's so ballistic over this. I don't see him up in arms over all the other models that got weight thrown at them - what's his deal with the BMW?

    I'm going to go out on a limb here a little and say something about the SIR from all that I've heard and read, since I'm a BMW driver and this will effect me the most.
    I know my dyno numbers at least last years numbers, and I've seen other and know of other BMW dyno numbers on both a mustang and dyno jet. IF and it is a big if , these SIR's are tested properly and are given to us are the right combination for the E36 325 BMW, with the HP as promised, I will have no problem with them at all! If installed properly with a well tuned inline 6 cyl., all I will say is there should be very good competition and the wins will be there if the BMW is driven well.
    To all critics, please back off the ITAC & CBR, let them finish the tests they need, give them some time. If this S@#$ doesn't work, there's pleanty of time to HANG them later! (kidding of coarse)

    AB, I can't find any post in here for Kirk. Point me in the right direction & I'll try.
    AB this is not a repreive, this is MY observation & opinion of everything I've read and experienced from when I started running my BMW in ITS last year to today.

    ON the topic, I would love to have a 325 owner describe the process and/or result, coming out of the SIR tests, that would satisfy them to the degree that they wouldn't feel cheated.
