first f8x in 9s in NA??

TPG set the world record with their M4. First into the 9s. DCT car. Built motor and upgraded turbos of course. Since surpassed by Mike from Maximum PSI, but they were first into the 9s.

Their white manual trans car still holds manual F8X record I believe in high 10s. Also built motor and upgraded turbos.

7.4-7.5 is very impressive for manual ! I have an original VBox and a dragy. I been using the Dragy on this car just because its easier.

What RPM do you grab the next gear at, I usually try to do it before 7.

F80Paul does some great work!!! i have tried grabbing at 5800-6200-6500-6800 none made more than a few hundredths of a sec difference ... i use the vbox sport and every time i have tried it at the track its straight on

havent hit the track yet ... on the vbox i trapped 130 ... but only went 30% throttle in 1st and 2nd because there is no traction and short shifted at 20 and 40 mph then just punched it at 40 in 3rd gear

We can manage torque in 1st and 2nd (it already is to some degree now) to allow you to launch WOT without spinning, basically manually implemented traction control. But we need to do that based on logs from the track as traction at that time will depend on ambient temps, track prep, and your tire pressures/temps.

with drag tires its all about compound and sidewall, not really width. 325 is not necessary and will probably rub anyway.

305/35 ET STREET SS
325/35 ET STREET R
305/40 ET STREET SS

... I FEEL LIKE THE 305/40 IS TOO BIG BUT THE 305/35 ISNT GONNA CUT IT

prodigymb · 05-29-2018, 02:23 PM

def stay with 40 sidewall and either go with 285 or even 265. I ran a 255 mickey on my E55 AMG and cut 1.5x 60fts on that tire.

good to know! ... but a 275/40 is a comparable sidewall to a 305/35 ...

yep it is. just keep an eye on overall height. wider tires do tend to bulge more and narrower tires sit more square, of course that depends on wheel width too. I wouldn't go down in overall height, rather go up a little. that will help traction.

Testing on the street and these things HOOK

Will soon be going to drag strip, would appreciate some reference numbers for 6MT.

Stock non-zcp does 1/4 in 12.4 at 117 mph, 0.4-second and 2-mph slower than the DCT M4:

Does anybody have 1/4 mile numbers for stock ZCP 6MT? And Stage 1/2 tuned with stock turbos for comparison?
