Drag strip at 6000ft + 90*+ heat = beating m5's and m6's

Dackz · 08-18-2010, 11:59 PM

Dont laugh at the times, or the traps, you can see that it sucks up here, haha.

We had a guy bone stock run a 13.9 at 100 and our best was on V4 with DPs, FMIC and race gas at 13.4 @ 108.889

The JB3 guys were doing pretty good too, traction issues aside, 13.7 @ 104 I beleive was the best there, but kept trapping around 102+.

Didnt see the BEST times for the m5 or m6, but the ones I saw spoke volumes about NA cars in this crap conditions. 15.xx at 96 for the M6 (vert and his wife but cmon, that aint THAT much) and 14.9 at 98 for the M5 (again, they may have gotten better, thats what I saw).

So yea.....turbos at elevation = only way to be.

Who's running 109mph traps?? That's SMOKING for that 8000+ DA!

Dackz · 08-19-2010, 12:22 AM

Ill let him chime in.....lol. All in all, all of our 335i's represented well, except me parked on the side thanks to limp mode and SES light and stuttering on my way there.....dealer visit in the am for what will probably be a HPFP replacement.....

It was Bimmer This... His car is damn quick, just spins at the line and he'd easily be quicker if he had some drag radials.

my best trap still can't break past 104mph but then again I'm an XI.

V, nice runs buddy.

Jonny550 · 08-19-2010, 12:30 AM

Damn is the gravity their stronger to lol. M5/M6's not traping 100 mph is terrible.

Yea...with some drag slicks or stickier tires that thing would really fly.

Its no joke, I was baffled at it. I mean they didnt get the BEST launches, but still, should have trapped at least 100 you would think. I felt alot better about how my car is at this elevation after seeing that.

Not sure if it was one of the new mustang gt's or last years, but think it was brand new, I saw it go 13.9 at 101 only, and those are supposed to be 'monsters'

A4rings · 08-19-2010, 01:09 AM

did it say 5.0 on the fender?

Bimmer This · 08-19-2010, 02:13 AM

I was the one that trapped 109 mph. If only I could get traction today. I was doing a burnt right off the line. 2.4 60 fts will not get the in the 12's. I was moving fast on the last run of he until I hit limp mode at half track and misfired past the 1/4 mark. These new maps have so much torque!

Mr. 5 · 08-19-2010, 09:52 AM

Remember that the DA affects NA cars dramaticaly where as turbo cars not that much.

Yeap. The guys in the M6 was pretty pissed that he was running 15 sec. 1/4's.

Pretty sure the guy in the m5 was was pretty upset too. I would be too if cars that cost half (or if you got it used like me 1/3) of the price were beating my ass down, stock no less, run after run.

I was amazed by the Jeep SRT-8. 14.5 at 95ish almost every run. Pretty badass for an SUV.

twinturbopg · 08-19-2010, 12:59 PM

I guess this is the answer to the posts....'how do I beat a M5/M6?' lol

Did you take logs during any of your runs or have a boost gauge?

no, he's a knucklehead considering I spent all that time installing widows on his Macbook and he doesn't bring it to the strip to data log. I don't think V has ever data logged

He can't be bothered...

Park2670 · 08-19-2010, 03:56 PM

Now you guys know how I feel! Living up in the mountains has its drawbacks. Best I ever got with my 335i was 14.0 and I cant remember the trap, but it wasnt good.

unfortunately, I didn't log anything because 1) I forgot my MAC at home and 2) I've never log any run/pulls what-so-ever so I wouldn't even know how to set it up. V4 users have a boost gauge to built in to the fuel gauge now. Kind of cool Craig.

Sorry Matt, if it makes you feel any better, I'll think about you when I use it!

So did you look to see what you were boosting on the 108mph run?

Nope, was too busy looking at the RPM gauge so I don't redline. But, I talked to Matt last night and I guess his autotune feature adjusted down to 11psi that day? IDK? I think Matt set ours to boost 14 psi but nothing above 15 psi.

raceyBMW · 08-20-2010, 12:41 PM

I had mine set not to go above 16.5psi, but I went nowhere near there. I think you are probably boosting more than Matt if you are hitting 108mph, that's why I was curious.

Looks like the DPs are a great mod for us here at altitude.
