It's an extremely potent motor and the S50 in particular had a pretty violent power hit up top when the cams came on. I never liked my '99 m3 (s52) that much because it felt like a dulled down, tamed version of the earlier design. In a lightweight chassis like the E30 that 330+HP would be more than enough IMO.

Again, not trying to detract anything from your build, just sharing my experiences and opinions. A big displacement, high-revving V6 in an E30 is quite frankly awesome and I bet it'll be an absolute monster to drive!
