Default LEGAL Drag Night Kill. . . . . .



Buddy owned an E46 M3 last night at the strip. Pulled on him once he shifted into second and never looked back. Buddy ran a 12.9 (08 350 6spd) on street tires, Nismo dual intake, Test pipes and greddy exhaust. Next mod will be COBB AccessPort!!

12.9 is plausible, but extremely unlikely in the middle of the summer in TX with those mods.......again......slips?

That way we can keep all the info and not have to go the tuning garage everytime we want to make changes.

Well. . . . a bit of explaining is in order.

Strip is in Baytown, T; last night temp was 82 Deg with a 10mph coastal breeze which equated to a tail wind due to the strip being oriented from south to north.

He was running 13.2 4 months ago and then added the Intake, Test pipes and Exhaust.

Pausible = yes
Likely = with above explanation

Still not likely.........even with the above explanation. If he can provide slips and is a member I will add him to the Top 25..........he would be way up there on the bolt-on HR list.

IMO there's better options out there. For example, UpRev Osiris (Tuner version). It costs a little more and doesn't come with preloaded maps, but it does allow you to adjust more parameters.

If you have the tuner version you can download base maps from Uprev I believe.

Be honest. You do not have any buddies.

He is not a member yet, gonna get him one here though. He will be going back to the track once the COBB gets in and we get it tuned. I will make sure he posted the slips.

Thanks

That is true, but for shear price per HP I can yield pretty good results from COBB. Currently his 350 is running a 22.4 AFR, and we just want to do small changes now and then go with headers and cams at a later date, and if anyone ever gets around to making one, a good intake manifold. The goal is NA build 350 WHP and running mid 12s. (Hopefully)

Thanks for the sarcastic "tuned"

I think the 12.9 was a one shot wonder. The goal is consitent 12.9, 13.0 even in TX even in the summer

Cobb has dropped all support for 350's now right? I think the units are only going to be sale for another few weeks.

Either way, I've been looking into a new ems, and the Cobb is lacking a lot compared to the comp. Especially now that they dropped the unit.

^That is what I have heard as well. I would guess that the support....in terms of existing maps will still be available though.
