That one, yeah, but I want to see Adam's car and how it is affected since he and Esquire are running 2 diff. kits, with Adam's more in line with my future plans.

Before I started messing with the sh*tty non-linear Snow Performance water meth system, my dyno results were very consistent...between 575 and 583 on different days.

I purchased the Aquamist PWM system and I may install that and go back to the dyno but first do a baseline to see how much I lost going with the Akra.

What size nozzles did you order the aquamist with and did you buy anything extra for the kit?

I don't think they have started production yet on the exhaust

Regarding the water/meth kit, no just the basics. I have a number of nozzles so it's kinda trial and error to figure out what works best, particularly when we aren't tuned for it. But between this bad experience with the non-linear Snow system and having a washer-tank mount PWM system on my 335i, I've learned a lot about what not to do with water/meth lol.

I'm also waiting to see what happens when you get your meth situation straightened out. I know that's been a pain in the ass for you.

Well one positive is that with the lack of grunt and fresh Michelin PSS I can hook almost all of 1st gear! I don't use LC, but just punching it from a dead stop it hooks great and starts spinning at around 6k rpm but as soon as I see traction control attempting to intervene (Euro MDM) I can click off a shift and I'm in 2nd gear with no spin until near redline.

Gonna vBox and see what I get. Feels like high 3's. Did mid-3's in my modded 335 and do 2.6's with the 911.

So by losing a bunch of mid-range, I can probably get a better 0-60 time

Breaking traction at redline

This forum needs more longboarders if you ask me.
