You know you can actually fuck completely up the power delivery too and obtain a max of around 91 at let's say 6500 rpm, but have something like 35 up to 5000 and even worst for torque

No seriously... I already saw some dyno graphs that yes, had an higher max power compared to the stock car, but with the line full of "hole", with even the graph falling in the lower revs for a while... and so on...

And I prefer to have X hp with a fully useable power delivery than an high placed X+20 hp where you always have to keep the car high in the revs to use both torque and power

About the topic

My E36 320i has 150 hp stock, I just added a Remus sport muffler, and don't expect that figure to change that much
0-100 km/h (62 mph), mesured by me, is around 9.9 (official figures by BMW is 9.8, but BMW is always conservative, so I think my data can be true)
No idea about the quarter miles.. that sort of things doesn't exists around here and I don't really care
