I haven't been as active on the forums lately... YouTube and Instagram are where I post most of my content now. If you aren't already subscribed/following there, you're missing out
That being said, I have exciting news I want to share! I took the car to the drag strip after doing a ton of modifications (listed below). My previous best was 10.90 @ 136mph with full interior, stock diff, stock axles and radial tires. I did a bunch of weight reduction, upgraded my diff, axles, suspension and tires and went back to the strip. Results below:
1st pass (20psi): 11.29 @ 128mph with a 1.94 60ft
2nd pass (25psi): 10.53 @ 137mph with a 1.73 60ft
3rd pass (28psi): 10.36 @ 134mph with a 1.59 60ft
The old record for a manual N54/N55 with stock BMW chassis was 10.70 @ 135mph, but I'm now the fastest after beating it by almost half a second! Yes, Ghassan Automotive went 9.6 but they have a custom back-halfed drag chassis. I think I can run 9's as the car was misfiring during my 10.36 pass.
The car has made 752whp and 691wtq at 30psi. Being at ~28psi with a misfire, I'd guess it was making ~700whp on this pass. Log below.
