Just to clarify: my car is prepared for 1/2 and 1 mile runs.

The problem is that there is no competition events in Russia for both disciplines except for Unlim 500, which is held only once per year (standing 1/2 mile) and on shitty surface. We know that 1/2 time is in direct relationship with 1/4 time, therefore I am in closed circle...

The only possibility to check the car is to go to 1/4 Russian championship.

That's it. No other reasons to drag race this absolutely not prepared for 1/4 runs car. And I am doing my best to run as fast as possible
I'm not saying you are not, nor am I discrediting your accomplishments. however I can tell you of 3 specific examples of people spending 10 grand on a supercharger system just to get smoked by a 30k dollar mustang with slicks.
that same race extended to 1 mile and the results are different.

I love the engine build and the technical aspects of your M, but I just don't understand drag racing it in general. it's a dick measuring contest. it's not about who's the better driver, it's about who has the fastest car and or deepest wallet.
