Well, the air temperature was about 67*F versus 85* last time, and I finally cracked the mid 12 second mark at the track.

I lowered my rear tires to 22psi cold. My meth kit was turned on, but I think that because I'm using 2 check valves together in-line, its not flowing as well as it should be. Also, I didn't verify my settings on the controller box. So I don't think I was making more than 475hp CRANK based on my trap speeds. For my last 2 runs, I shifted the 1-2 shift at 7500rpm or so to put the power down better, even though it was pretty solid in full throttle in 2nd gear, I spun too much shifting at redline before.

Here were my runs:
Run # 60foot time ET MPH
1 2.165 12.663 115.08
2 2.012 12.511 114.82
3. 1.863!!! 12.170!!! 116.42
4. 2.017 12.348 116.36


I'm soooo excited about my progress. I mean... a fuckin' 1.8s launch on street tires! and I FINALLY hit low low 12s in the quarter mile. I think I can dip into 11s once I dyno tune my meth kit and the temperatures drop another 10 degrees.

Spanked the AA tuned 135i, which was running impressive mid 12s eventually. Note that my MPH didn't go down, only slightly up as the night went on and it got cooler, and the car was NOT heatsoaking given 20 minutes between runs


oh and I FINALLY weighed my car! Very excited about that. With 1/2 tank of gas, I'm exactly at 3182LBS (battery, wheels, some trunk trim gone)
