hey guys,
let's start w/ the car:
95 m3 w/ euro hfm kit and track pipe
dyno'd at 227 whp and 213 tq
falkin azenis (225's) - 32 psi
2950 lbs(no spare, rear and passenger seats, 3/8 tank of gas)

well, went to silver dollar (reynolds, ga) to see what i could do.
my best time was:
13.87 @ 99.x with a 2.1 60' time.

i did have a run trapping at 100 mph. how much more can i improve? i did not play around w/ the tire pressures so i think i can better the 60' time to 2.0. can't lose any more weight either. any suggestions on what i can do to improve?

Decent #'s, man. I would definitely play with the psi in the rears (take them down) and the front (pump them up).

For every tenth you shave off in your 60' time = .15 - .25 in your ET.

So you could shave 1-2 tenths on your 60' time, and be mid 13's...

Fred, I'll definitely be with y'all next time you hit up SDR, provided I don't have any prior commitments for that day.

I think I could get into the 13s there, as well.

You better, Ron.... :evil2

PS- What's our bet again, if I get better times in the ZHP (OEM) than you have in your M3 so far...?

Yeah, Ron, what was our bet if I beat your current best in your modded M3 with my ZHP first time out, bone stock? :evil2
