I don't have any. But the good news is I came in 2nd place in the BMW/AMG challenge with a 165.8 MPH trap and Alex from Gintani took first with a Gintani Built motor YSI car, running 18-19psi, he hit 173MPH! Which is a very impressive trap. There were some big power AMG's there ~700-750whp competing against us, and we were still able to out trap them! However both cars had issues so there wasn't a chance to run against each other to compare the difference.

FWIW, if the Lab22 1000whp E46 M3's, mainly Marcus and Kenton, would have been running, as well as Jim's or Earl's Weistec 1000HP AMG C63's, I don't think Alex and I would have placed 1st or 2nd, but we'll take the BMW M3 sweep.

Regarding my issues, unfortunately my manifold kept lifting during all my runs at only ~12-13psi, and I couldn't get it to stay on, it would eventually lift, just as it has at the last 3 events, so this is becoming very frustrating. It actually lifted on the 165.8 MPH run as well, but near the end, on the last shift, if it hadn't I think I could have been close to 170. Hopefully I will have a solid fix for the next event, because otherwise the car runs great and is very fast.

For trap comparisons, an Aventador hit 155-159MPH. Built C6 Z06's that trap 140+ in the 1/4 mile hit, 163-168. Stock supercharged M3's, ESS VT2-625 cars and Tightie's Gintani Stage 2, hit 149-152MPH.

Big thank you to ESS, Alekshop and EAS for attempting to fix the manifold with what we had at the track on Sat., and on and fixing a shredded belt for me on Sunday! Nonetheless, it was fun, great seeing all of those incredible cars and friends.
