[Shotimes] He's moving on up...

found this interesting:

"In Part 1 of this series, the baseline run showed the Project M3 making 90
percent (190 lb-ft) of its maximum 201.4 lb-ft of torque from 3950 to 5900
rpm. By comparison, with the recent intake, exhaust, 3.2-liter injectors and
chip upgrades from Active Autowerke, the range for 190 lb-ft was spread out
from 3480 to 6320 rpm (almost 800 rpm longer than stock). Now, with the new
driveline modifications, the car provides the same twist from a low 3060 rpm
all the way up to 6490 rpm. That's about 600 more rpm than without the
fluids and 1480 rpm longer than stock! The weight-to-power ratio has
improved from 14.8 to 13.7 lb per horsepower."

The 3.2L in my 89 is almost identical.  90% of it's peak torque from
2300-5800 rpm.  A lower rpm band than the bimmer, but spread out over a few
more rpm (and actually higher peak.).
