Well, I went to the drag strip last friday and here are the times. What do you guys think?

Car: 1994 325is/ 3.15 open diff
Mods: ///M3 Exhaust (cat back), Turner Chip, K&N CAI, Mcoupe shifter(not really a mod but quicker shifts)
Wheels/Tires: 16x7s with 225/50/16 Michelen Pilot HX (old, hard and bald)

Track: Scribner, NE / guess on altitude is 1300ft, Temp: 70 degrees F

Best two runs are as follows

60' - 2.446
1/8 - 10.084
1/4 - 15.516
MPH - 91.29

60' - 2.325
1/8 - 9.968
1/4 - 15.437
MPH - 90.75

From the feel of the car it seemed like with the open diff and crappy tires this was as good as it gets but wanted to know what you guys think?

Thanks,
Justin

Not bad, man. Is that open diff allowing for wheelspin at launch? If not, you can launch higher, and get those 60' times down, etc....

What kind of psi were you running back and front in the tires...?

Yeah, the ol one wheel wonder if I go higher. I think hard tires are culprit too though. Next year at least the tires will be new and hopefully the LSD with a little lower gears. It would be fun to let you drive it and see what you could do!! :D Probably not tempting at all to you though considering your past cars.

As for tire pressure I left the fronts alone at about 32 and ran the rears at about 20.

Sounds good, man. Yeah, softer tires will help for sure.... Hey man, if I ever make it down there to see you and Jer, I'd take it for a few runs... How old is your clutch? :devillook

It has some life on her still, but probably not much more than a year or so with my driving habits!! :D That would be pretty cool if you came down sometime.

You can abuse it, if that was the ultimate question!! :D

1 year with Justin driving it = about 20 runs down the strip with Dave driving it... :D

Yeah, I just don't track it enough!! :D I'm sure you can make it disappear really fast!!

That's what I'm here for... :D

Well, let me know when you can make it down and we'll take a trip to the ol drag strip!! :D

You and Jer will be forewarned in advance.... :D

cool, i look forward to it!!

hey dave... justin is standing behind me, and I'm supposed to tell you to get you lackey-ass down here and we'll feed you REAL steak!

also... GET YOUR FREAKING FOOT HEALED! so as that you CAN drive the car down the strip... you show up in that wretched grand-am and I'll personally beat you with the tire-iron... I think you in Justin's car and me in you ZHP would be a fair fight! :D:D:D

anywho... talk to you later hoser.

LOL, thanks Jer, we're getting there with the foot.... :buttrock

you check your email recently... I sent you something a while ago...

Yep.... :D
