That is what the E30 dyno'd at yesterday. The numbers are pretty worthless, I mainly wanted to check the A/F to make sure it's where it's supposed to be and it is.
OBD-I S52B32, Turner Motorsports equal length shorties into a 2.5" exhaust, 3.5" MAF and a "The Racer's Market" tune.
This engine makes around 40lb/ft more TQ at 1800RPMs than the old M20 did at peak!
Now it just needs some really sticky tires. The el cheapo Nexen N3000 in 215/40/17 are worthless in first and some of 2nd.
mmm very nice. That motor is juicy in my "piggy" M3, I can't imagine how fast it is in an E30. Heck the M20 in my gutted E30 feels damn quick.
Pics?

My E30 also wears those terrible tires. They're bad even with the stock M20, I can't imagine the traction issues you're having with those numbers.
^Yeah, it's pretty bad. I'm just trying to decide now if I want to go with a sticky 215/40 or step up to a 235/40.
My suspension setup is overwhelming the tires as well on turn in. 550/750 with a 22mm front bar and no rear bar.
My car has so much caster up front, it appears the 235/40s may contact the front valance of the BMP kit.
miateme2, there are some pics in Readers Rides and also a few threads in the members ride section of www.r3vlimited.com. In the process of moving into the house we just purchased, so I'll try to post some up soon.
An instructor I had at VIR took me out for a session in his OBD1-e36 M3 motor swapped e30 M3. It went just fine...
