Default Track tonite

Well I'm finally gonna run my 350 at the track tonite hoping to pull some low to mids 13's. My IS is completely stock as of now. Weather gonna be low 50-45 out and 90ft above sea level. Haven't been there since my E46 M3 which ran 13.5 stock. Will post slip tonite when I get back.

You mean drag strip, not track, right?

Nice weather conditions. Looking forward to the results!

if you can get 2.0 on 60ft, you should be able to hit 13.49

hahaha if that was my 250 running 13.6 i woulda kept it but naw only got 4 runs after that the drag was gonna be down for awhile for a spill. I had two good run on the left lane 13.6 and right lane i didnt get traction off the line as soon as i hit the gas it just sat at the light sucked. hoping to improve next year when i start to install the parts. But to be honest the 350 doesnt have the torque that my M3 had which i miss even my GF was like the M3 pulles harder LMAO

How full was your gas tank? You can probably drop another tenth just by removing your spare tire and running on 1/4 to 1/8 tank of gas.

More importantly, once you reduce that 60 foot time to 2.0, your 1/4 mile time will drop by twice as much and you'll be in the low 13s.

Run 40 psi front / 24 psi rear and brake torque to 1000 RPM (no more) to launch.

Carlx I went to the strip with 1/2 tank cause it was 1 1/2 hr drive with traffic. When I got there surprise to me I only use 1/2 of a 1/4 tank I was dame. The one day I wanted the gas to not to last. So by the end of the nite I still have a little over a 1/4 tank. As for launch I tried 1500& 2500 rpm let say 2500 I wasnt getting off the line when hitting the gas. Pressure I left the front at 35 and rear 30psi. Hoping next year with the ppe header to improve on the 60ft
