How fitting that a Canadian N54 record was set on Canada day! A number of us went to Cayuga Dragway today to test out the track. The weather was outstanding and the track prep was A1.

I ran the quickest recorded time for an N54 in Canada:

11.763 @ 119.88 r:

Car setup was as follows:

• JB3 2.0 on Map 10
• BMS DCI
• AMS FMIC
• AR 3" C@tless Downpipes
• BMW Performance Exhaust
• MS109 Race Gas
• Mickey Thompson ET Street Drag Radials set at 25psi
• Passenger Seat and Rear Bench Removed

Track Conditions as follows:

Density Altitude Rating: 1229

Track Elevation: 630 feet
Temperature: 69.8 F
Relative Humidity: 46%
Barometric Pressure: 30.27

The car ran so friggen tight all day, following are my runs:

1. 11.763 @ 119.88 with a 1.691 60'
2. 11.836 @ 118.89 with a 1.729 60'
3. 11.876 @ 119.53 with a 1.754 60'
4. 11.919 @ 119.02 with a 1.778 60'
5. 11.933 @ 120.07 with a 1.825 60'
6. 11.934 @ 118.01 with a 1.758 60'
7. 11.971 @ 119.86 with a 1.858 60'
8. 11.974 @ 118.84 with a 1.778 60'
9. 11.974 @ 116.03 with a 1.758 60'
10. 11.983 @ 118.02 with a 1.772 60'

And here are the top 3 time slips:



Next up, meth and 11.5! I am so stoked

Congrats.. The look of excitement on your face from you record run was something to see

Next stop.. 11.5...

daym with those times i expected to see meth in ur mod list...very impressive runs!!

[Sniz]

excellent driving

Auto?? what octane.....103/104?

good weather makes a huge difference and those M/T's are working overtime for you. I'm starting to want a set myself.

[Sneeze]

nice runs without meth!!! congratzz!!!
what board are you running? same here cant wait to hit 11.5. i dont know if i have to wait for jb4 first.

is this a record for the most 1/4 mile runs in a day? lol.

MS109 Race gas and Steptronic tranny (boy does it help). The DRs are downright awesome.

awesome times man, nice driving!

[Jeff@TopGearSolutions]

Another Auto..... psh Nice job though.

I am running the 18ohm board, it really does its job up top.

i see...
with meth you would definitely hit 11.5
are all ten runs on map 10?

Yep, all runs were executed on map 10. My car seems to love map 10.

Why are people thinking meth will help you? The main benafit of meth is octane. Nice times, good luck with 11.5s

IAT drop benefits. You'll need a 15ohm board or less to push more boost (meth + race) and then you have a legitimate shot of pushing 11.5-11.6. You can do it!

[Clap135]

yea good luck with that, Ive tried this before, adding meth when you already running 109 is not going to much of anything.

I like a challenge! I should be be able to run more boost with the additional IAT gains. More octane can never hurt.

The octane rating of MS109 is only 101 so meth will certainly help push that rating higher.

[Clap135]

its 105 actually lol,
Do you have any useful logs fromt he track showing timing?

IAT gains? Wrong; you mean meth will provide supplemental octane gains to support the ignition timing to run even higher boost levels.

Map 10 is about 17.5 psi peak if I'm not mistaken.

I've seen you drive an auto.

Not a pleasant sight........

[gian335]

today was fun guys....congrats joe, I knew sum1 would get 11s today. DR's are a true most have for the dragway forsure. I just couldnt catch traction on some runs ....time for new tires and to take out some seats. I was haulin ass with good traps tho.

my best of the day was 11.4, at 119 mph with full weight and street tires.... I think my car is good for 12.2 easy with full weight and a good launch. To my surprise I ended up with a 1.9 60 ft, but my transmission upshifted on me in 2nd gear, skrewing up my run....

at 1st I was

then I kept reading....119 is a nice trap though!!

Umm sorry bro but please check your facts, it is actually 101 motor octane.

I did not log timing as it requires the BT tool and it gets messy in the cabin when trying to focus on lanching the car proper without the BT tool and a computer on the floor. I will see if I can try and get this setup next time.

Yep great times today! Damn good runs on street tires for you, 12.4 @ 119 is no joke. The announcer was classic!

Map 10 is about 17.5 psi peak if I'm not mistaken.

Shouldn't the air temps be lower with higher octane fuel due to less heat from lower combustion and ignition? So wouldn't it serve to benefit both? Yep, map 10 is about 17.5 - 18.
