Half mile speed and time

Good day
I am looking for what is considered a good half Mile trap speed and what is the best way to achieve this. I am looking to achieve about 150mph.
I already made 137mph with just an exhaust and tune and without launching the car. I now have Ms stage 2 and ms pullies and a stronger map.
Car is dct and full weight and standard rpm limiter car is making roughly 380 whp on a good day

Yeah do this. Any supercharger kit above 600 crank hp should put you low to mid 150s. If you really want to go past 150 go with a Gintani kit, good tires and a good suspension.

I am not quite sure a FBO car with weight reduction could crack 150, really think you will need a supercharger to get there. My car ran 156 standing half mile like 3 weeks ago

PM if you have any questions!

There is a thread below this one where an NA e92 M3 hit 119 in the 1/4 mile - Gintani exhaust and e85 tune were the most significant mods. Also had some weight reduction. That should be good for 144-146mph 1/2 mile.

Good luck.

Was down at the 1/2 mile drags in Ga a few years back, and a guy had a Dinan$$$ stroker motor in his E92 M3. He could only get into the low 140's. Not sure what is goal was with the stroker, but a SC would have been far more cost effective.
