1st time @ track with M3, 12.7@113mph

I think I did "OK," the lines where long and I didn't get an opportunity to use LC because the car wouldn't allow me to after having just started the car in the "pits" I did use the poor-mans method, ended up spinning until third gear, w/ the rear end going sideways.

Method i used to launch:
slowly ease into the throttle until the clutch engages, when WOT shortly after. I upshifted at 8,600rpm (evolve stage 2). If I went too quick on the throttle, the DCT would drop the clutch and I would spin. Tire pressure = 28psi on 30% treadlife PS2 tires

I ran alright, outran two camaro SS (both had 1LE), two 5.0 stangs (non-BOSS), a 300C (1st gen with the 6.2 Hemi).

breakdown:
R/T .289
60' 2.186
330 5.629
1/8 8.414
MPH 87.24
1000 10.772
1/4 12.771
MPH 112.75

These cars have some top-end power, the MPH delta between 1/8 & 1/4 is 25.51, most cars do 18-22 mph in the final half!

Pretty decent results, but if I could drop my 60ft 2 seconds down to a 1.986, I would be running a 12.3, which is pretty good considering I'm not FBO.

Mods:
K&N filter
Gutted primaries
Evolve Stage 2 (very little VANOS overlap change, long story, but Sal is getting me a fresh file soon with basic stage 2 VANOS settings)
Evolve GTS-DCT
MS pullies

Also found out something interesting, this is the first car I've had that enjoyed back-to-back runs without turning off the car. If I turned off the car, let it cool down until the oil temps reached 160 degrees, and then restart it and let it finish the cold-start phase, my traps dropped to lower 111mph vs. higher 112 (essentially 113)
