SXX-EVO Programs
High duration camshaft packages for naturally aspirated BMW M cars.
Our intentions
Reaching the zenith of natural aspiration: over 125hp/liters.

In 2023, I set out to empirically prove, or disprove an hypothesis: could we reach 125hp/liters with stock displacements S54, S65 and S85 engines on pump fuel?

The underlying objective is to achieve N/A performance levels usually reserved to stroker motors for 1/4th of the cost.

To achieve this, I started from the baseline of standard bolt-on upgrades and dove into the world of high duration camshafts, uprated valvetrains and final drive upgrades.

Enjoy,

We had one way to go: higher.

Without a bore and stroke increase, we needed to find power at higher revs.

The benefits to camshaft upgrades on the S54 were well documented, however the S65 and S85 were unknowns.

The few public information sources claimed little to no gains were achievable.

As of 2024, I'm happy to report my hypotheses have been proven right.

S85-EVO: 522whp at 8,420 RPM

[...] on a mustang dyno.

S65-EVO: over 400whp.

[...] yet more will be achieved once DCT limiters are tuned for higher revs.

S54-EVO

Coming soon.
