EAS | Famoso Drag Strip results: Just .004 away from 10-second territory!
Part of being a vendor is extensively testing the parts we offer to the public.
While most manufacturers do provide their own specifications, putting the extra effort in testing gives us an in-depth experience of each manufacturers components so we can validate claims. We then share this info with both manufacturers and public to get a better understanding and back up claims with real world results and experience. When an invite was extended for a private track day at Famoso, we immediately jumped on the opportunity. The M3 is not the best drag platform, but holds its own pretty well. With California having a relatively dry winter, conditions were optimal to expect some pretty good times. With some traction control issues, we were eventually able to crack a couple of low 11 second runs, almost dipping into the 10s. Best Time/MPH is as follows: Best 60ft: 1.848 Best 1/4mi: 11.004 Best MPH: 130.40MPH You read that right, .004 seconds from entering 10-second territory. Not too shabby for a street driven vehicle, especially seeing that MPHs we were pulling. Specs Vehicle: 2011 BMW M3 Transmission: DCT Modifications ESS VT2-625 Supercharger System Akrapovic Evolution Ti Exhaust Powerflex Polyurethane Subframe & Differential Bushings Passenger Seat/Rear Seat backs removed Hooiser Drag Radials Line Lock Fuel 91/109 mix The ESS VT2-625 supercharger kits are civil on the street and true-form beasts both on the drag strip and track - a real "wolf in sheep's clothing". We'll get results added to the official 60-130 and 1/4 mile thread shortly.

Excellent work guys, the event was a blast, it was great seeing Steve, Craig and Robert at the event. The EAS M3 trapped the same as some potent cars out there. I'll get this up on the 1/4 mile thread.

I was surprised at this trap given the elevation/DAs and what other cars were trapping. Great job EAS on getting the power down! Launching a DCT M3 is no picnic.

About 50/50 of 91 & 109, correct.

Agreed, they were able to improve their trap from an early 126/127 to 130, which is impressive, especially considering Eric's E63 did 130 and it pulls on 625+ plus kits at the airstrip events.

I was wondering why the hell I saw Steve and Craig on the 5 on Saturday!
Nice job.

Nice work. That's about right for that power level. My 10.65 time isn't attainable unless it's below 40 degrees and negative DA. Conditions really need to be perfect. I run 10.8-11.0 all day long with 1.6 60ft. Search bludvlm3 on YouTube and you will see a dozen launches with those times. IMG was recording all day long..

your launch is very simple. Use LC and hold on! Launch rpms and tire psi is critical. a really good launch is 1.6-1.7 60ft. Launch rpms are 4500-5500 with good track prep. If I can't stick then lower rpms below 4500. The car needs a 5k launch to run in the 10's because the motor lacks torque. My psi is never above 22psi with DR's. It's usually high teens. Burnout I use linelock and heat them for 5 seconds. Go on YouTube and search bludvlm3. Izzy (IMG) has a ton of videos closeup of me launching and running 10.7-10.8. You will see what the car looks like and how it reacts

I think the EAS car had some issued on the burnout where a pic of a "sproket" would show up in the dash. After when that occurred they couldn't use LC. From what I understand their best run of the day was done using the "floorboard" method, not LC. That's probably why they couldn't get in the 10's.

Too long of a burn out is overheating the trans. Too little is not getting enough grip at the launch. It was pretty easy with my 335 because I would pop the clutch when in second gear and burn out for a good 5+ seconds to make sure my tires were nice and sticky. I could run high 1.6 60fts most of the time. The DCT trans was definitely not made for the drags. lol
