New Joey video after the addition of a carbon fiber airbox. Since the S50B32 install, Joey has been chasing the sound from back when his 1989 M3 was running the S14/CF airbox with Alpha N tuning, and he now has a lot of it back. Sadly I could only do a poor job of capturing the metallic sound added by the airbox, but along with the sound upgrade has come a seriously perceptible increase in throttle response and TQ. Before the new airbox the real power came on at 4500+ RPM but now the car hits hard well below that speed and pulls very hard to redline. My first words after experiencing a 1-2-3 gear run were "now that's more like it!" While the car was very well motivated before, the new low-RPM power tears through the rev range and it will only get faster once tuned. Today we attended S Fest at Coventry Motorcars: www.sfest.com Joey's M3 was a big hit. When we went to leave, a camera was on us and Joey wanted to lay on it a bit for the video. He had forgotten to remove his dyno sheet from the front window, and it blew out of the car. It was too funny because here was poor Joe hamming it up for the camera and all that video will show is him nailing the throttle and having to almost immediately pull over to retrieve the dyno sheet from the middle of the road. Thankfully we are far too shallow to care.
