i'm wondering how much horsepower could i gain for my 2000 323i, if i did
some modifications with the exception of supercharging it? i believe a stock 323i has 170hp if i'm not mistaken. could i at least, hit the 200hp
mark without the turbo kit? i need an expert's opinion. thanks!

Sure you can . . . you add a chip to it and do an exhaust upgrade and CAI . .that should be around 30 more HP's

thanks!

do a little port n polish and maybe intake ofcourse exhaust...b/c as ive been told the first things u wanna do is let the car breathe. With means exhaust and intake etc. but you can easily get 200hp...not an m3 eater yet tho :) hehe drop that turbo in there and ya got one.
