Default Gaining some power

So should be getting some extra funds and looking to get a little more power out of the car. Minus an S/C which I am debating on getting, looking to get some more power out of it. Funny, stock I can keep pretty well to my friends E46 M3

Hondata flash, exhaust, possibly new intake will yield pretty solid gains

Stop debating, and just get the S/C. If you're actually looking for power through bolt-ons with the f20c you're going to be very sad at your results, and the amount of money you spent. (Note: The f22c isn't THAT much better, but the displacement does slightly help with bolt on gains).

Track it. Also make sure you're thinking about the stopping side of things and not just the go faster side.

Agreed. I've been looking around for BBK (Big Brake Kit) seems like that is the only way to add some decent power is S/C

The stock brakes are perfectly fine, just upgrade the brake pads for better stopping.

As said above there is zero need to upgrade the brakes. Stock are awesome.

If wanting power go for boost. Either sc or turbo.

I'm loving turbo but like the reliability of an S/C

Going SC or Turbo will you need to worry about the stock Diff?
