Either way look on youtube if you're really intrested.

Do you guys not have 1/4 mile drag strips in your area? You don't need to run a car on the street. Take it to the track run some 11s and post up your slip when you get home.

Stage 1 will be available in the next few weeks

Your G power setup demolished my car like my buds HPF M3 on race fuel @13psi did, wish we could have done some Vbox runs with your car.

My apologies, I didn't know the reason there were no videos posted in the forum.

Gintani's supercharged car, "niterider" has posted some vids on youtube, the Gintani car, @ only 5psi, did quite well against a 470whp Stage 3 C63.

I saw a couple vids of the Gintani S/C in action. At 5psi, it did very well vs the Corvette, but the C63(supposed traction issues) and HPF Stage 2 E46 M3 had no problem taking it out. When the boost is raised, it'll be more of a match. Thanks for the headsup!

Looking forward to seeing the kit in action!

Had some runs, guys)))

My car is 600 HP + cats deleted.

From 70 to 300 km/h the car was in the territory of 997 Turbo stock and M5 (full bolts on - 600 HP)! The runs were prior to cats deleting... After deleting them, another car...

Absolutely crazy ANIMAL! No comparo to M3/M5/M6 stock either...

So you're about even with a stock 997tt and full bolt on M5? Did you do any runs after the cat delete?

No runs after the cats delete, but now NO chances for M5 for sure

And with stock 997tt after cats delete it would be full match in any speed.

710 HP kit should easily beat 997tt

How are their runs not accurate?

I'm not sure what there is to explain Robert, the organized pulls I've seen niterider, Jon and Tightie do, are very accurate, they do multiple runs, the outcome is always very consistent with each pull, same with the comparo runs I've done.

If you are referring to random street/highway races in traffic, then I'd completely agree with you, those are most likely not accurate, not controlled and yes not a prudent way to compare the cars, although everyone on a M3forum forum most likley indulges in that sort of thing from time to time.

The organized runs are probably pretty accurate. I was referring to the random street races with videos of two guys waving, honking horns at each other, etc. for a rolling start.

All good Robert, and I understand what you're saying, I've seen runs that are flat out inaccurate, unsafe, etc. I always try to be accurate, and safe when I do pulls, Vbox runs, etc., I know you do as well.

I would also recommend convincing all of your friends with SC M3's to sign up for the 6speed "Forum Wars" competition. Three of the five strokers have volunteered. Other than niterider, I don't know of any other SC M3's who have volunteered for a competition that's even being held in your own back yard. Maybe we can get ESS to volunteer their car.

Robert PM me a link and I will see if I can make it.
