Pure stage 2 Auto 135i vs Vargas stage 2+ 335is

Had two really good runs with my buddy who has pretty much identical mods. First run was a 60 roll and second was a 40 where he used anti lag.

135i mods:
Auto
FBO+ inlets
JB4 BEF+antilag
Pure stage 2 turbos
Fuel it port injection with stage 3 LPFP running 100% e85

335is + passenger (camera car) mods:
DCT
FBO+ Inlets
BuraQ MHD tuned
Vargas Varga 2+ turbos
Fuel it port injection with stage 3 LPFP running 100% e85

Both cars at 25psi and on good tires.

How so?? It isn't like that's a hardtop, it's a rag and they aren't that heavy and I understand that normally there is a lot of extra bracing and whatnot but I'm not sure how vast the difference is between a regular I35 and a convertible, let alone the difference between an I35 and a 335.

335s aren't exactly lightweight, so I'm sure having that convertible put them close in weight, even though he probably would've had a slight weight advantage if it wasn't a vert.

25 psi is not 650 WHP. This is probably 575 whp at the most.

With all mods being nearly equal, I would attribute this to a tuning match. What's a JB4 BEF? At that level of modification I would think you'd go with a custom tune.

No. I made 601 @23psi with Pure. Obviously each car is different but 575 @25 is very weak.

135 convertible is over 3600lbs according to Google. That is noticeably more then the coupe.

Probably on a very high reading dyno on a very cold day. This video was filmed on a humid Texas night at 90 degree + weather.

^ good question. Upgraded inlets definitely help make more power but different versions make more than others.
