DASC units are the biggest waste of money ever. 60hp for 4g's is stupid. You can make 60hp with the following
 ITB's (S52 ITB's gor for a few hundred on ebay)
323i Euro Flywheel ($300-$400 ish from the dealer)
Cams (regrinds are roughly $250 from drcamshafts in Auburn, Ca) (he did mine)
MarkD, JimC or Superchip ($200-$300)
Total approx $1200)

and if you get a wild hair up your ass....a turbo kit can be put together for around 1G
or more if you want to change the internals

Or the S50 or S52 swap.

Fuck DASC

I'm not saying this because I have a DASC but this is a little off the mark.

The DASC is a very simple way to get significantly more HP and keep gas mileage high.

If I had mad fabrication skills and didn't care about mileage, personally I'd go for an LSx transplant. Everything else, turbos, other BMW 6 swaps, etc, fit somewhere between those marks.

Stock if you are going simple with low boost. If not VAC has some good low comp pistons/rods. But they are a bit pricey.

John took care of me and I have a sweet setup. He can do what ever you want, and like I said, it was roughly $250. Just remember shipping to and from. So budget a little more.

LSX throws balance out the window though. I have damn good mileage with my stroker on city and highway roads. 27-38 depending on my foot that day. The track is another story.....

In all seriousness, the DASC is at the bottom of bang for the buck list IMO.

However, if they want to send me a unit for testing in order to change my mind, i'm all for it. A blown stroker could easily crank out 300hp.

Ok so what kinda of cam set-up should i run with cause i plan on running threw every step you given me dvmotor cause it seem like a solid ideal and it promotes engine strengthening O and vac has a stage 2 m42 performance head for like 1.5k so is that a good ideal to get along with the set-up given plus is that part a plug and play item?

You're bound to top off at 140 MPH with those mods. You'll need two bottles...the big ones, and hope you don't blow a fucking weld on your intake or a floor pan.

This is hard to read, but here are my cam specs. And build your own head if you have the mechanical aptitude. You will save money and have fun.

Speaking of cams, check out deltacam.com (out of WA) ... lightning fast turnaround, and last I heard I think it was like 200-250 shipped to regrind a couple.
