I've been trying hard to break in the 11s with the supercharger but could'nt do better then a 12.300@117mph with 1.9xx 60ft, I think if I was DCT the car could easily be in the 11.7-11.8!

113mph on a stock DCT? Yikes, my car seems to not be running strong compared to those. Most stock e9x M3's are running 12.8@109-110mph at my track though with the higher trap and ET's favoring DCT guys. You guys must have some good tracks over there.

Nice! Now I'm itching to use LC, especially since I have an aftermarket GTS-DCT software that defaults to a 3,500rpm LC RPM vs. 5,500 RPM.

Yes! I am too thinking about a dct tune myself. Where did you get yours? Have you done a 3500 launch on the street?

Those are good times! My highest trap was a 112 with just going in mdm. I'm really going to worm the tiers up next runs

Yeah I'm sure I've seen 113 for a stock DCT, that seems right for me since the DCT is much faster and I did 111mph! As for the track here, it's not particularly good but I think the climate we live in here up north must help because I always seem to achieve the best ETs and traps possible with the cars I've owned!

At the end of the 1/4mile, the oil temp went slightly above the middle mark. The cool-down method that was favorable was to just drive the car back up to the pits after picking up the time slip and let it idle in the pits back down to slightly below the middle mark.

Duly noted.

Here's a link to DragTimes for M3 results. There's plenty of 113-116 MPH results in there. Easy to tell what is NA vs. supercharged, but much harder to tell what is stock and what isn't.

Went back again, unfortunately only had the opportunity to run 4 times since two cars kept spraying fluids on the track and they had to do a sweep (which takes like 20 mins).

I didn't get to use LC because I had to park the car in the pits (lines were pretty long for test-n-tune), I did one run when oil temps were slightly above the first 1/4 mark, which again was the slowest run of my evening.

However, I did use MDM and just floored it. Sal@Evolve sent me a brand new file (aggressive VANOS/ignition timing map w/ the exhaust overrun feature), I only ran the file for 25 miles before getting to the track, so it may not have properly adapted. I ran with a 93/E85 blend (30% ethanol blend) with a little over a half tank of gas in the car (same as last time I went out there); car felt wonderful, the ethanol blend did exactly as it was supposed to with an octane of approx 96.5 w/ benefits of ethanol cooling effects in the combustion chambers, fuel trims were in check per logging.

best 60ft 1.932; best 1/4mile 12.218@115.757mph

I am still aiming for that 1.8 60ft, I'm so close! Hopefully using LC will help me get that 1.8. Otherwise, MDM with 28psi Michelin PS2 tires are a great combo, just floor it-n-go and the car figures out traction issue's almost perfectly and the car ran consistent. Like before, the car ran best with the oil temp hovering near the middle mark.

Special thanks to Sal@Evolve and the Evolve team (my review of the new file will be up this weekend), I gained approx. 3 mph with the new stage II file.

Going back again next Saturday for an event to see if I can aim for that 1.8 (hopefully run a 12.0@116-117mph).

Ohh that's damn good boy, specially without LC!!
Sometimes I wish I had a DCT!

DCT is wicked I drove my buddies, but I don't fiend to drive it like I do with a 6MT. Nothing like WOT 1st to 2nd

I never tryed one but I have a DCT in my Evo and I love it, but it's true that when I jump in my M and row my gears it's a feeling that I've been missing! I think I just wish I had one to have a slip in the 11s!!

Nice runs you deff should hit a 1.8 with LC... As long as the oil temp was up mine worked with it running for about 3 min!
