E30 was a nice bump compared to 93, so I expect the E85 bump to be substantial. I'm about $1k in for the upgrade (BF Custom tune pricing + used pump + install myself) and then got a 550i clutch on standby. IMO, not bad for a setup that *should* be capable of 500whp.
Honestly we're spoiled. Think about previous engines that needed intercoolers, charge pipes, lpfp, etc. just to hit mid 400s.

Curious to see how the 550i clutch holds up.
I reached out to Spec (great customer service) and their clutches for our cars all mat up to the stock DMFW. I think that quells most of my concerns about going aftermarket and being forced into a SMFW with drivetrain chatter. I think I'll be heading the Stage 2+ route as the clutch slips are getting more common.
