6-speed ESS VT1-535 with stock cats, trapping 119mph!!

Hi everyone, just wanted to share my results from the drag strip tonight, I have a E92 manual with just a VT1 and a Corsa exhaust, the car did a couple of good times(considering it was excessively slippery, you can see by the 60foots) but what I really wanted to show is the trap speed, 119mph on a 12.9 run!!

I think this could interest a lot of people who are hesitant as to if the VT1 will make enough of a difference in power on their manual M3 since no one had relly shown any real world proof(other then dyno numbers) of the gain in performance on a manual car. There's even a couple of videos on Youtube showing guys trapping 109-111mph with their VT1 and some others of a manual VT1 barely keeping up with a DCT with bolt-ons! I know it made ME hesitant when I wanted to go with the 535 kit, after all you don't want to put a superchager on your 6-speed and lose to a catless DCT!

Here's the time slip of my best trap and some of other good runs of today:

this one is my best ET yet with the VT1, it was 2 weeks ago when I just had the kit installed, the track was a lot more sticky that day(you can tell by the better 60foot) but unfortunitly I hitted the 2nd gear cut-off in that run and I had no time to try again!
