ak335 · 03-31-2009, 11:54 AM

I went to MIR around a week ago, i got a Auto 335i with an SSTT.

I only had 3 runs the temp was around 73, and sorta humid. had about 1/2 tank of gas, and got Stock RFT, i had DSC fully off and was launching at around 1500rpm, i thought i would do better, what should i do diffrent the next time i go out which will be this saturday

1) 13.65
101.7

2) 13.42
102.8

3)13.67
101.6

Spend a few more $$ and get a PROcede v3.2 or JB3.

SSTT is the mildest of tunes out there, I wouldn't expect much..

Septro · 03-31-2009, 03:00 PM

I thought those times are respectable for the SSTT.. Even though sflgator was poking fun, he is most likely right that if you want to go much faster you may have to step up in tunes.

That's assuming you are launching great with limited issues with traction. You can get better grip by going to drag radials, you can drop some weight with a braile battery and/or removing your seat.. it depends how bad you wanna go 'faster' to what you want to do.

True, but his trap speed is less than what he should get if his 335i was just stock.

Yes, just poking fun (no harm intended though), but in all seriousness, if the OP would spend a bit more $$ to strap on a PROcede v3.2 or the JB3, the difference would be night/day....<13 sec. 1/4 mi. ET with Trap Speeds >110+mph.

ak335 · 03-31-2009, 03:39 PM

Jb3 is in my near future, im just wondering why my trap speeds arent that high?

Doesn't SSTT only add 1 or 2 lbs of boost?

you're number do not seem right. what were you're 60ft numbers? and what the the track's elevation?

a year and a half ago when i had my SSTT and everything else stock i ran a 13.1 @ 108.5mph on RFTs with a horrible 60ft of 2.1

i think its either 3 or 4lbs of boost more, i cant remember to be honest it been a long time, but definitely not less than 3lbs of boost

nick6753 · 03-31-2009, 04:52 PM

SSTT is +3.5 psi

Doc E · 03-31-2009, 04:56 PM

those are mediocre times for the SSTT, the car runs stock in those numbers.
13.05 is very doable

and that's a fact. could go lower....
did you hook up poorly, an Xi helps.

what's your elevation?

ak335 · 03-31-2009, 05:45 PM

i Just checked for the elevation and it says 100 feet? does that sound right lol

slick101 · 03-31-2009, 06:05 PM

i happened to go to english town the other day. did a couple of 1/4 miles and my best was 13.5 but my rear tires were completely shot and my 60' times were 2.6 and that was the best... my best trap speed was about 108mph.. but my rear tires had nothing left... changed my tires going again this week.. will let u know...

Joonsup · 03-31-2009, 06:08 PM

so the op ran about mid 13s with the sstt, how would a stock 335 do? 14s?

No stock 335is run mid 13s at around 103mph. Stock I ran 13.4 at 104mph consistently, so for the op the only trap 101mph with a sstt something is definitely wrong. You don't have the sstt hooked up to the wrong sensor do you?

haha im pretty sure i dont, but that seems like the case

Crisp · 03-31-2009, 07:16 PM

With an SSTT, this car should be running 13.0 all day especially since it is an automatic.

I run consistent 13.1 with my JB3 on map 6, and I have a heavy E93 335i.

1.5K is a bit low.

Drop the psi for the rear tires to 25psi and make the front 50psi.

Go in with 1/4 tank of gas and launch a bit higher if it has grip...try 2k RPM.

Just with this setup, not even a SSTT, your car should be running low 13's.
With a SSTT, you should be at 13.0.

Graystone · 03-31-2009, 07:19 PM

1500 is not enough with the tune i use that stock..1800 one press with the dsc not completely off. Its tricky and mine is 6mt stock. 4.7s 0-60.tryed a car with SSTT for a friend same problem kept playing till i found the best launch setup, his is Auto and I rung out 0-60 in the 4.3sec rang so 13.05 1/4 is possible ....Practice practice practice... the LAUNCH is the whole thing. And your enemy is your 60' you need 1.9s or better.
The 0-60 on a g-tech or other are the best for training because you can get the launch perfected and stay legal. Good luck stay safe

Graystone · 03-31-2009, 07:21 PM

See Crisp and I are pretty close to one another just read his..

Yeah, that's not good.... SSTT should throw no limps if your car is running normally. Maybe you have a HPFP going bad or a boost leak or something. ?
