HPF Stg 2.5 1/4 Mile Results 6-11-10 @ Famoso Raceway

[mspiredm3]

Just got back from the track. I think I did pretty well for my first time out and only getting in 3 runs. The MT's hook pretty well, just need to tinker a little more next time, hopefully at an event that isn't so busy.

Best ET: 11.32 @ 136.92mph w/ a 1.997 60'

Temps were in the mid 70's on the OBC.

Here are the slips of all 3 runs:

I want to see an HPF can run in 10's

[good & tight]

Nice mph

What tire pressure did you run?

Consistent.

I think with my current setup, I can pull it off wit some more practice and a lil tinkering with tire pressures and rear shock adjustments.

Nice mph

What tire pressure did you run?

Thanks! I ran 21psi cold, I wanted to drop it 1psi after each run and see the effects, but I couldn't get around to it.

Great Job gettin' out there.
Consistent.

Thanks! The traps are so very consistent, shows good things about the kit IMO.

Mike you da man for going to the strip already!

Congrats on your first runs. Pretty consistent which is very important.

Have you spoken to Chris about testing Antilag? I am pretty surprised that he hasn't added it as an option considering the AEM EMS can do it no sweat and I'm sure he'd like an HPF car to have a 10 under it's belt. The Antilag will help your launch soooo much!

Hey Bro. i know why you are not on M3 forum so i miss out on your progress. I did catch up a little on bimmer boost with Chris's post and photos.

I am only building a small HP project right now. Room to grow. But i am concentrating on traction traction traction.

your 11.3 is mentioned here too. Many congrats Bro!

What width MT's? Do you run them in the street?
I am going for 315/17/35 NT05R's ...only 25.7 inches tall. I have enough flare they will fit.

What is this AEM EMS??? Is it only for turbo?

I see guys running a very controlled modulated spray of nitrous BEFORE boost kicks in to act as anti lag. The spray is completely shut down once boost kicks in.

Me? I am doing the usual.... Starting out on S/C and if that is not enough, going for turbo.

HOWEVER, we are already seeing 650HP on 98 RON on one of ESS's big blowers..

Its all about hooking the power up with out resorting to ridiculous ladder bars and solid rear axles. I mean ridiculous for an M3.

We are NOT drag racing cars, but no one can tell me that i cant run fast at the drag strip AND a road course. It can be done. It takes some thinking outside the box.

I am hard on half axles I will be getting these;

Mike, What size MT's are you running?
Do you ever break rear CV joints?

Congrats BTW!

[m3chaser]

Nice times! Your mph is good enough for mid to low 10's if you were able to get a 1.7 60 ft or better.

Yea get that 60' down and you will be in the 10's easily. Next time make some vids of your outing.

Thanks Cam, I knew you'd be proud! I don't know if I need antilag, YET. i think with the way things stand, with a little more practice and tinkering, a 1.8 60' is possible.

Nothing had broken so far, thank god!!!

Hopefully next time!

I got a couple vids, will post them soon.

Pfffft you need 1.4 - 1.5 60ft. Push Chris for Antilag. Besides it's super cool pop pop pop.

Thanks man!

Since I am banned, I can not view those links...

That is a big tire you are fitting, you will have no issue hooking, congrats!

Those ESS numbers are bogus, don't fall for them. The most you will likely see from a built motor supercharger on pump gas is probably going to be around 575-600rwhp, but I don;t think anyone is selling any kinda kit for that, so that is going to be very hard to get to.

I agree with you, it isn't hard for us to be able to get traction at the strip then also be able to run around the twistie track, it's all about the tire setup...

Honestly, you will get bored of a supercharger really fast; most people do and I can tell from the way you post you will get bored rather quickly. I would save some money and go turbo from the get go.

Pfffft you need 1.4 - 1.5 60ft. Push Chris for Antilag. Besides it's super cool pop pop pop.

1.6 or under aint happening on anything short of slicks or body modifications for some serious size rubber.

It would be nice to see someone do this though.

Congrats on the great times.
