I know it's damn good. I figured your car was a high 13's@101 but i'm not going lie that chip must be doing something..Originally Posted by swollix
Well this is my first time drag racing ever, so I was satisfied with a 13.7. Really all my car has is intake, exhaust, off the shelf TRM chip, and a killer diet plan. I weighed in at 2,775 at the scale. You have any tips for launching? I ran a 15.2 at 99.97 MPH on my second pass spinning into 3rd gear, but I gained 24.4 MPH from the 1/8th to the 1/4.
From my experience M3's with a lot of weight taken out of them have a hard time hooking. JWorms had that problem and so did that fishforlife kinda ricey kid who couldn't get a 60ft without full slicks.. Part of it has to do with springs rates + no weight over the back. Obviously it plays a roll in hop and is terrible if their real stiff (how they should be) but even with my 535 rears my worst 60' of the day was 2.2x. I'd recommend you just feather it out...traction is a big problem on 235 street tires, if it's hot out you won't run for shi.t no matter what. The track just won't have the grip for you.. On a cool night feather it out and keep on the clutch but don't release it and let it spin until around 20mph then release like you are not initiating a "slight" spin until you are already on your way..it'll either bounce a little, spin slightly or you'll notice your RPM's jump then suddenly shoot up fast and you'll hook as good as the track will let you with a 1.9 or 2.0x 60ft. The smoother you are the faster you will go, like all racing. If you smell your clutch burn your probably doing it right..but stock ones can hook without a bad smell. That's what I decided worked best in my car.
If you can get a 1.9x you should start to see low 13's. I'd post those times on BF.c and praise that chip or something. That car is FAST and is very very stock.
