Just on experience on knowing the turbo should steer you towards the tuner that has first hand experience with the product instead of starting fresh!

I have nothing against different tuner but I do prefer live tune. As HCP is at Europe and not sure if the time zone can match with US. However tom@eas told me they just have work with them few time and turn out great, then I am not worry about the tune at this point.

Halim's been fantastic to work with. The time zones are different, but nothing that can't be handled if appointments are made in advance.

Did you guys do any pulls in lower gears so we can see the spool up?

All dyno runs are done in 5th gear as 4th gear is just too short, especially for this type of power output. Although, dyno runs posted in this thread do have overlays of the same car with stock turbos running E30 and FBO in the same gear which show a very good comparison to the KRAS55Bi's and their spool characteristics.

So both of these pulls are done in the same gear?

As part of the discussion in our 1150whp press release, we discussed how usable the powerband is and how it would all be dependent on your drivetrain upgrades and wheel/tire combination you're running. As far as normal partial throttle driving, the car drives completely docile just like a stock M3 which is one of the best aspects about the turbo system. However, under WOT that is a different story. Without any sort of boost reduction even at 22psi (748whp/657wtq Built Engine) from a roll in 2nd gear with 2 people in the car on Michelin Pilot 4S's, it spins all of 2nd and all of 3rd gear without any signs of traction early in 4th before throttle is lifted. This is a prime example as to why KRAS55Bi owners will need either R888R's or some sort of drag radial if they plan on running the car without boost reduction on the street or strip. Attached below is a sample video of this run in Mexico to show how much of a handful the car can actually be on street tires without boost reduction at only 22psi.

Note: Sport Display has been modified to reflect 960 Horsepower / 800 Torque. Not that they are very accurate, but we figured it was still worth mentioning.

The development car in the video has stock drivetrain (stock axles, driveshaft etc.) and is not meant to be a prepped drag car. This car is better suited for ½ mile as opposed to ¼ mile testing. As a result of the stock drivetrain we did not launch the car. Even spinning through all of 1st, 2nd and pedaling through 3rd, while short shifting, the car put up a very respectable 149.54mph as per the dragy. Boost was limited to 30 PSI (Approximately High 800whp) to try to cope with traction problems but even still, the car was spinning! We feel that customers with similar builds on the same KRAS55Bi's at 41psi (1150whp) with the correct wheel/tire combo and drivetrain upgrades can easily accomplish high 150mph passes and quite possibly 160mph down the 1/4 mile!

Our intention was not to get an ET. Drag racing was not something we intended to do with our development cars; we tested the car at the ¼ to have a rough idea as to the MPH it will run. That being said, plenty of ¼ mile data will be available as pre-order units begin shipping in the next few weeks!

Please contact info@asrkratos.com if you are interested in reserving one of said pre-order units.

TRACTION LIMITED Latest 60-130mph/100-200kph results. This is while spinning and at 30psi! Approximately high 800whp. These results were recorded on the same pass that the car did 149.54mph in the 1/4.
