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.
The SXX-EVO Program is based on a cylinder head core exchange service to provide limited downtime, and reduce installation related risks.
The heads are machined, refreshed and upgraded with the components required for the Sxx-EVO.
The kit is delivered with the required hardware to install the cylinder heads, and includes tuning specific to your configuration.
The increase in revs allows the usage of higher final drive ratios, improving power to the wheels through increased torque multiplication.
Using BMW Motorsport gears, we increase torque to the wheels, improving acceleration while retaining similar top speeds to the original configurations.
