Do you mind letting me post your video on the M3 forum. I've been killed by M3's numerous time. It would be nice to get back somehow.

Jess, how did that cop race turn out. Did he ever want to race you in that V-8 Crown Vic? Lemme, know, I'll video....

That's great! However, I'd like to see a comparision of the total investment on this car versus a typical M3.
If the price is still below M3, I would applaud very much.

Amazing. Glad to see someone actually put the SC to use. Suprising really, the number of people who have gone ahead with a FI install who haven't been interested in benchmarking it vs. another performance car or getting a 1/4 E.T..

Nice kill man, congrats on the power, but you gotta get rid of those stock tires 
. You might know of my mother (or her company), she is president of FCCA, http://www.f-cca.com , I hope to see more videos of some more kills

Awesome! I am so proud; the video almost brought a tear to my eye!

I installed the the procharger friday. I tuned the car and was really impressed with the performance. Only problem Im having is with the brake pedal (see my other post) Anyways, as I drove more and more the car, the car just started feeling faster. Im seeing boost increase a little faster also. I believe it must be the procharger starting to break in decreasing some friction, making the blower build boost a little better. Anyone else notice this the first couple of miles?
Heres also the story of my first kill, luckly it was against a new M3.
Cars:
ATI Procharged 350z, Borla Dual exhaust & Headers. Driver and Passenger.
2003 SMG M3 coupe stock, Driver and Passenger.
First race was from a dig. Im still learning to launch the car with the procharger so I got MAYOR wheelspin on 1 and 2 gear (stock worn out radials). Check out the top end though...
Second race was a 1st gear roll. I gave the M3 the jump.
Hope you enjoy, right click "download and save as"

Races are won in the street or at the track...., not at the dyno !!

Am I the only one here who thinks street racing isn't such a great idea? An innocent person just got killed last weekend on a BMW drive, and y'all are encouraging this? PLEASE...take it to the track! I don't need a kill to validate my car's performance, just the smile it brings to my face.
Regardless, congrats on the kill!

WELL SAID, you can have the faster car but if you can't drive it you will lose
Damn, you have some sick top-end. Those cars trap anywhere between 104-107 mph in the 1/4 and you just pulled him in 3rd and 4th gear like he pulled up his e-brake. Your car is sick, congrats....watching this vid makes me want to say f*ck NA and get a Procharger.
